Hits all targets considered to be in front of the druid and within melee range.
The damage has a chance to crit on more than one target.
Useful for farming multiple mobs that are a few levels lower than the caster and who will die quickly or to deal what can be some sizeable AOE damage to a group of PVP opponents.
Use of this ability should be carefully weighed in certain situations, especially in instances or raids, since it uses most of the druids's energy.
Combine with [Savage Roar] and [Berserk] and a high crit chance to deal a very large amount of damage when in close quarters combat, especially useful in pvp.
