'''Fire Blast''' is [[mage]] spell that deals [[direct Damage|direct]] [[fire]] damage. It is an [[instant]] cast spell, and a key to a [[mage]]'s [[Damage_per_second#Burst_DPS|burst dps]].
−
The '''Echo Isles''' {{coords|64|85|Durotar}} are a handful of small islands off the southeastern coast of [[Durotar]]. The [[Darkspear trolls]] lived here for a while, but when the [[Kul Tiras]] fleet attacked their land, they had to flee. They evacuated with the help of the [[Mok'Nathal]], [[Rexxar]].

−
When the [[Horde]] settled in Durotar after the [[Third War]], [[Thrall]] made these islands off the southern tip available to the Darkspears. Recently, a Darkspear Witch Doctor named [[Zalazane]] went mad and started enslaving the Darkspear population, forcing the survivors to relocate.

Fire Blast is available at level 5 for {{cost||1|35}}.

While numerous attempts have been made to oust Zalazane and reclaim the islands, his enslaved forces are too numerous compared to the weakened [[Darkspear tribe]]. They now live on the coast of mainland Durotar in [[Sen'jin Village]], in the [[Valley of Spirits]] within [[Orgrimmar]], and in other scattered parts of [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]].

===Description from the official site===
  
−
''After years in exile, the Darkspear trolls are preparing to invade the Echo Isles and reclaim the land once bestowed to them by Thrall. Led by Vol'jin, a wise and highly regarded Darkspear, the tribe's bravest warriors will set out from Orgrimmar and Sen'jin Village, seeking to bring about Zalazane's fall and begin the process of rebuilding their homes and villages on the Echo Isles. In World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, new troll adventurers will begin their journey on these tiny islands off the coast of Durotar, where they'll be able to experience this time of trial and transition firsthand.''
  
   
  +
A common technique to achieve burst damage is to cast Fire Blast right at the tail end of a long cast spell, such as [[Fireball]] or [[Frostbolt]]. After the long cast spell is finished, the [[global cooldown]] is also finished, and both spells will land almost simultaneously. Use the global cooldown time from the instant Fire Blast to move and gain range before casting again.
−
Though the Darkspears may once again have their land, the tribe's turmoil is far from over. The impending cataclysm will spark rivalry among the Horde leadership, and after years of running from a seemingly endless string of conflicts to preserve the Darkspear nation, Vol'jin is done fleeing. The Darkspears have reclaimed their islands and have no intention of settling elsewhere. Of course, as an untested member of the tribe, you'll have some training to do before tackling the Darkspears' larger matters.

Every great hero starts somewhere. As a troll of the Echo Isles, the journey begins with safeguarding your people's well-being. Early in your adventures, you'll be charged with protecting the local Bloodtalon raptors and hatchlings from the sorcery of a nearby sea witch, slaying the beasts that feast upon the Darkspears' primary food sources, and assaulting the naga who've overrun the northern isle. But it won't be long before Vol'jin trusts you with vital -- and potentially dangerous -- information about the political struggles plaguing the Horde and, ultimately, the fellow members of your tribe.

In World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, you'll face these trials and more in the trolls' new and enhanced introductory questing experience (level 1 to 5). Be steadfast and honorable, and your actions will help usher in a new era of Darkspear perseverance in a time of ultimate peril.

*A multiplayer melee map for two players.

*A map played as a part of [[To Tame a Land]] mission of the orc campaign. It was much bigger than its portrayal in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' and housed a population of [[Savagekin]], [[Murlocs]], and [[Hydra]]s. There were also more troll statues and ruins. With [[Cataclysm]], Echo Isles will now resemble its portrayal in The Frozen Throne.

Tips and tactics

Fire Blast TCG

In World of Warcraft: Trading Card Game.

This spell sees a lot of use in PvP. Instant spells are impossible to interrupt, and spells and abilities that slow casting time have no effect. The only way to stop an instant is to silence the caster.

Instants can be cast on the move, as in kiting, or to chase or escape another player. Fire Blast must be cast while facing the target, but it is possible to jump, turn back to cast, then turn forward again before landing. The target only needs to be within the 180 degree arc in front of the caster.

A common technique to achieve burst damage is to cast Fire Blast right at the tail end of a long cast spell, such as Spell fire flamebolt [Fireball] or Spell frost frostbolt02 [Frostbolt]. After the long cast spell is finished, the global cooldown is also finished, and both spells will land almost simultaneously. Use the global cooldown time from the instant Fire Blast to move and gain range before casting again.
