If you've been paying attention to the bluetrackers, you should have bumped into
this
.
Living Bomb can be cast on more than 1 target!11one11
Now, assuming that the change goes live, will Fireball/TtW or FFB specs leave Arcane in the dust now?

i hadn't seen that before, but it probably won't make much difference in fire/frostfire's overall damage seeing as a boss fight is still a boss fight.. one target is going to get focused on even in fights with multiple targets like kologarn, iron council, freya, auriya, etc. any overlap would be minimal because target changing to keep LB up on all targets, and would require a lot of downtime from your normal rotation.. besides... LB is a mana heavy spell, so it would cost a lot more mana going back from target to target to target keeping it up on everyone.
although, this would mean a lot for pvp, provided they made a couple other minor changes to the fire tree....

Never mind, I just realized that Living Bomb ticks don't proc Hot Streaks, never knew that as an Arcane mage. :)

That will definitely give fire mages more viability in battlegrounds. That would be a fun spec to rock for a day.

Still, throwing up Living Bomb on ~5-6 targets in an AV bottleneck... priceless.
Haha, I can see at least one guy is ahead of me. I always post without reading right away so that my initial opinion won't be affected by what I read. This ain't a problem in short threads (I moderate at Sherdog, and I must admit hypocrisy; I condemn this habit at every turn there....but that's because 78 people repeat the same freaking two sentence rant).

While this is interesting its usefullness is somewhat limited, yes it will be more or less like seed of corruption except it won't exactlly be the same but similar. That said thou that is/was a trash talent and so will this be. It also has more use in PVP, run around and dot every thing that moves is/was a fairly common pvp/bg tactic for warlocks.
For PvE? It won't make a difference really as someone noted; there is usually just ONE boss up at most time. Dotting up extras etc will just take time away from fireballing and LB is not better then Fireball.

that would be special retarded if it did.. living bomb everyone in a bg, and you'll oom yourself between that and hot streaks..
oh wait.. mages don't need any help going oom in pvp. >_<
although, it would still be a ridiculous amount of fun, especially in an av bottleneck (like someone mentioned)... watch all of those go off one after another.. hahaha

Still having my doubts that this will go live.
If it does, we will be faces with a very NEW problems: We will have to restrain our damage.
Check out
this YouTube video
. No tank(s) could hold that.
Wouldn't make much of a difference for most boss fights though, so that i guess is a hint that this change might come after all.

I know this is 21 days old, but if you read under bug fixes for mages, in 3.2:
Living Bomb: Periodic critical strikes from this ability can now trigger Ignite and Hot Streak.
I don't think the complete version of this will go live, but if it does, multi target LB, fish for Hot Streaks, and thats about it.

Here's the image I'm getting. "Ogrimmar is under attack".
You, having just been in the area, run in, invis and run behind Thrall's chair. You peek out timidly, seeing a warrior bravely tanking Thrall.
You pop out, battle raging as everyone's watching the door.
The melee in their blind assault don't see all these orbs being cast on each of them
6....7...8....
You target the tank, then as they notice you right as your Fireball is let loose, followed by that last stand Fireblast on the tank as the room explodes one by one by one suddenly.
Raid panics, tank drops. Thrall proceeds to make love to the raid's healer's faces.
You're dead but a hero.

this gave me the biggest grin i've ever seen.. a group of 5 mages go in and destroy a 40 man raid.. rofl. that's 850 kinds of awesome.

The kiddies as you call them would be doing Uld10 most likely, in which case they would already have their shoulders from Thorim. Yogg drops the chest token in 10man.
