"With the right force and the right angle, a well placed ball of fire can feel like a stone thrown against ones ear and temple region. Except with more burning."
Impact is a mage talent that gives each Fire spell a 2% chance per rank to stun the target, up to a 10% chance at max rank 5. At tier 1, this talent is popular in many mage Fire specs, especially PvP-oriented fire or elementalist builds. This is best used in conjunction with scorch, due to the low casting time, giving more opportunities for impact to proc. It can be useful in solo PvE as well as trash mobs in dungeons, though in a majority of raid encounters (including trash mobs) the targets will be immune to any stun.
| Rank | Chance to stun |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2% |
| 2 | 4% |
| 3 | 6% |
| 4 | 8% |
| 5 | 10% |
Notes
The stun is subject to diminishing returns like most stuns in the game, and may be countered with any anti-stun mechanism such as Blink and various PvP trinkets.
Tips
Enemy spell casts may be interrupted (albeit somewhat unreliably) by using a quick succession of instant or low cast time fire spells such as Scorch, Fire Blast, Dragon's Breath and Blast Wave.
