Improved Hot Streak gives the fire mage a guaranteed [Hot Streak] after two consecutive critical strikes with [Fireball], [Frostfire Bolt], [Scorch], [Pyroblast], or [Fire Blast]. Between this talent and the Hot Streak talent, the old functionality of Hot Streak is replicated, with the added bonus of getting a Hot Streak from single critical strikes occasionally.

[Improved Scorch], Firestarter, and the Hot Streak talents can be used together to effectively deal damage while on the run, since you can cast free Scorches and instant Pyroblasts while moving with some Hot Streak procs. Oh, and it costs no mana.

Patch changes

Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): Added.

Bugs

In Patch 4.0.6, investing even 1 talent point in Improved Hot Streak prevents Hot Streak from proccing on single crits. You now must get two crits in a row to gain the Hot Streak effect, if you have taken Improved Hot Streak. If your crit chance is low, Hot Streak will actually proc more often if you don't take the Improved Hot Streak talent.

+== Bugs ==
+In [[Patch 4.0.6]], investing even 1 talent point in Improved Hot Streak prevents Hot Streak from proccing on single crits.  You now ''must'' get two crits in a row to gain the Hot Streak effect, if you have taken Improved Hot Streak.  If your crit chance is low, Hot Streak will actually proc more often if you ''don't'' take the Improved Hot Streak talent.
-At the time when Burning Crusade was released, the Kurken was tameable, but this was soon fixed.  In the [[Patch 3.0.2|"Echoes of Doom" patch]], the Kurken was made tamable once again, this time as a member of the "[[core hound]]" [[Exotic beast|exotic pet family]].

-{{speculation}}
-Due to its identical appearance and close proximity (being in [[Northern Kalimdor]]), it is possible that The Kurken is related to the demigod [[Omen]] in some way. Though, it is possible they simply share the same model.
