Pyroclasm is a warlock talent which gives some fire spells a chance to stun the target.
| Rank | Stun chance |
|---|---|
| 1 | 13% |
| 2 | 26% |
Notes
Since Rain of Fire and Hellfire do damage over time, the chance to stun is distributed over all the ticks of the spell, not 13%/26% per tick.
Due to its shorter duration, Rain of Fire has a higher chance to stun per second (3.25%) than Hellfire (1.733%). So, for stuns use Rain of Fire, and for more damage use Hellfire (around twice as much damage).
Past changes
Patch 1.9 (1/3/06): "The stun effect's duration no longer diminishes or is diminished by controlled stun abilities and spells (e.g. Cheap Shot, Hammer of Justice, Charge, etc)."
Patch 1.8 (10/10/05): "Now gives a chance to stun when Rain of Fire, Hellfire, and Soul Fire spells damage the target."
Patch 2.4.0 (3/25/08): "This talent now works correctly again with Rain of Fire."
