Notes
- Mana Burn has some strange behaviour in combination with the Shadow tree. It works with Shadow Weaving, Shadowform, Vampiric Embrace, and Vampiric Touch. However, it does not proc Blackout, nor does it benefit from Darkness or Shadow Affinity. Shadow Focus probably does not affect it as well.
- Its threat simply depends on its damage and follows normal rules; the mana drain does not cause any additional threat.
- Shadowform will increase damage done by this spell.
Talent improvement
- Improved Mana Burn reduces the casting time of Mana Burn.
- Force of Will increases spell damage and critical strike chance for all offensive spells.
Tips and tactics
- Mana Burn is useful both in PvE and PvP. It can be used against enemy spell casters in PvE to prevent them from casting their spells, especially healing spells. In PvP this spell is helpful against healing classes.
- With Improved Mana Burn, its effectiveness can be raised enormously. In addition, its susceptibility to interrupt effects can be reduced.
- Combined with a shadow spec'd priest's Vampiric Embrace, Mana Burn can be an amusing and effective way to use the target's mana to heal your party (while damaging them in the process). Adding the Shadow spec Vampiric Touch to this also allows your mana to be somewhat replenished in the process.
