[[Raynewood Retreat]] is located in north-central [[Ashenvale]], east of [[Shael'dryn]]'s [[moonwell (Ashenvale)|moonwell]] and west of [[Night Run]]. It is a great tree populated by [[night elven]] [[druid]]s, [[blink dragon]]s, and [[dryad]]s. From that outpost, they watch over the path leading north to the corrupted land of [[Felwood]]. One of the eldest sons of the forest god [[Cenarius]], [[Ordanus]] stays there, hunted by the minions of the [[blood elf]] [[Braelyn Firehand]].

'''Dragon's Breath''' is a talent-trained point-blank [[area of effect]] [[mage]] spell that deals [[fire]] [[direct damage]] and [[disorient]]s all enemies for 5 seconds. The area of effect is similar to [[Cone of Cold]], a 90 degree arc region extending 10 yards in front of the caster.

Seared to imperfection.[1]

Dragon's Breath is a talent-trained point-blank area of effect mage spell that deals fire direct damage and disorients all enemies for 5 seconds. The area of effect is similar to Spell frost glacier [Cone of Cold], a 90 degree arc region extending 10 yards in front of the caster.

  1. ^ TCGFoO, #39

Notes

Disorient effects will break on any direct damage. Casting another damage spell will break the effect, but a dot such as from the Ignite talent will not break the effect.

Talent improvement

Dragon's Breath deals fire damage, and thus gains the benefit of the talents Spell fire masterofelements [Master of Elements], Ignite, Spell holy greaterheal [Fire Power], Spell holy greaterheal [Impact], Spell fire lavaspawn [Molten Fury].

As with all mage spells capable of critical hits Spell frost frostshock [Shatter] can increase the effective damage output of this spell.

Tips and tricks

The disorient effect makes this spell not only useful to kite an opponent, but also to interrupt spell casting. Although there is no spell lockout such as with Spell frost iceshock [Counterspell], interrupting a spell for 5 seconds is sometimes all you need.

A notable use for Dragon's Breath is that it will interrupt most all abilities that are otherwise impossible to interrupt. Several trash mobs in Black Temple, for instance, are uninterruptible, save for Dragon's Breath. While the target is immune to the actual disorient effect, their casting will be interrupted. Some examples of abilities that dragon's breath can interrupt include:

Notes

This spell previously shared a cooldown with Spell frost glacier [Cone of Cold]. Using either spell would set the cooldown of the other. Casting Dragon's Breath would set the Cone of Cold cooldown to 20 seconds, and casting Cone of Cold would set the Dragon's Breath cooldown to 10 seconds.

The shared cooldown was removed in patch 3.0.2.

The disorient effect of Dragon's Breath was previously 3 seconds in duration. This too was changed in patch 3.0.2.

Patch changes

  • Cataclysm Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): Moved to tier 5. Combustion no longer a requirement.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.3.0 (2009-12-08): The mana cost of this talent has been significantly reduced.
