Notes

• The totem immediately draws aggro from mobs once it is put on the ground, causing them to attack and destroy often before it does any damage. Patch 3.0.8 will remove this threat generation.
• In addition to increased damage, the Improved Fire Nova Totem talent will give it a 50 or 100% chance to stun mobs damaged by its blast for 2 seconds.
• Useless against high Fire resistant players/mobs.
• Second longest cooldown for a totem (if we exclude the [Mana Tide Totem] talent spell).

Tips

This totem can be situationally useful in PvP. It can even be used in 1v1 PvP as a way to burst DPS.

There is however a strategy you can follow without said talent against crowds of low (or not so low) level mobs, dropping a [Stoneclaw Totem] and drawing aggro from you/your mates it is possible to release a Fire Nova Totem without it claiming the attention, you can even use a [Magma Totem] thereafter in order to finish off remaining mobs.
