Mekthorg the Wild is a criteria of the achievements:
* In raid situations, Living Bomb is a considerable [[DPS]] increase, and keeping it up constantly can theoretically boost DPS by up to 10%. <br />Its instant casting, damage on the move and delayed boom effects are considerably useful effects that make the Fire Mage vastly more mobile and versatile. The explosion proves valuable as an additional source of critical strikes to help process the [[Hot Streak]] effect.<br />Its AoE benefits on raid trash clearance are considerable if it detonates; Living Bomb's final explosion is NOT subject to AoE damage caps, and can inflict horrendous damage on large groups of packed mobs (examples being phase 2 Onyxian whelps or the Frostwyrm hatchlings directly before Sindragosa in Icecrown Citadel).

==Notes==
 
During the beta of [[Wrath of the Lich King]], the original effect of the spell was to make the caster themselves the Living Bomb, doing [[AOE]] damage to enemies within 10 yards, with a final explosion doing more damage. The spell was criticized as the damage was very low. The spell was then changed to be a castable debuff, but again was criticized for it's low damage. A mana-burn was added to the final explosion, burning off an amount of mana equal to the damage to the target, but the spell was still criticized. Eventually the damage was increased, the mana-burn was removed, and a knock-up effect was added to the final explosion, which knocked the target up into the air. This effect was removed before the spell was released.
