Talent improvements

Notes

The daze effect is not dispellable.

Tips and Tactics

This spell is cast in the same situations as Spell nature wispsplode [Arcane Explosion], with the added benefit of snaring everything it hits.

Between Blast Wave, Spell frost frostnova [Frost Nova], Spell frost glacier [Cone of Cold], Spell arcane blink [Blink], Cold Armors, and Spell frost frostbolt02 [Frostbolt], a mage is a slippery target to catch.

This spell adds another spell to both the mage's area damage and crowd control lists. It deals excellent damage, and the daze allows a mage to run clear and start another spell before the targets come back to full speed.

The fact that the secondary effect is a Spell frost stun [Dazed] is very powerful. By definition, no class can break a daze early. Once you've snared a creature with Blast Wave, it stays snared for the full 6 seconds.
