Magic Flame Shock 105 Fire damage every {Y/3} seconds. Duration: 12 seconds

Flame Shock is one of the four shock spells available to Shamans. This is considered the most mana efficient shock, owing to the higher total damage when the DoT is added. Because the initial damage is low, Flame Shock receives the least benefit from Spell crit.

Limitations

• It has 6 seconds cooldown linked to other shocks (global cooldown), which makes all the Shocks unusable for 6 seconds.
• The DoT portion cannot crit, nor is it effected by haste.
• Refreshing the DoT may cause you to lose a few periodic damage ticks.
