Blast Wave is a level 25 Fire mage talent.
Tips and tactics
Between Blast Wave, [Blink], [Dragon's Breath], and [Flamestrike], a mage is a slippery target to catch.
This spell adds another spell to both the mage's area damage and crowd control lists. It deals excellent damage, and the daze allows a mage to run clear and start another spell before the targets come back to full speed.
