fire nova

[totemictimmy 7]

So most of the research I've done gives you a very in depth 1-1 rotation. But it has never mentioned Fire Nova, my question to you more knowledgeable shaman is this. If you don't have 5 MS stacks, wouldn't it be a prudent move to cast fire nova as a filler's filler?

 

Bring me the knowledge!

Fire Nova doesn't hit the target that spawns the nova.

 

Ex:

 

Flame Shock is on your target.  There are no other enemies near your target.  Fire Nova does 0 damage.

 

Flame Shock is on your target.  There are three other enemies near your target, four enemies total.  Fire Nova does (1500 + 30% SP) damage to 3 targets.

 

Flame Shock is on three enemies, including your target.  There are only these three enemies total.  Fire Nova does 1500 + 30% SP damage 3 times, to 2 targets each time.
