Flamestrike is a Fire mage ground targeted area of effect spell that deals instant damage.

Tips

Flamestrike is best used against several enemies that are closely stacked together, especially when talented into [Flame Patch]. However, due to its long cast time, it shouldn't be casted unless [Hot Streak] is up. Cast when Hot Streak activates instead of [Pyroblast] when this occurs.

[Aftershocks], an artifact trait causes Flamestrike to call down an additional pillar of fire every time it is cast.
[Blue Flame Special], an artifact trait, increases Flamestrike's damage by 5% per rank (Three initial ranks, up to six ranks possible).
[Flame Patch] causes Flamestrike to leave behind a ground effect, burning enemies for additional damage over 8 seconds.
[Hot Streak] allows the next Flamestrike to be instant cast.
[Pyromaniac]
[World in Flames], an honor talent, reduces the cast time of Flamestrike by 2.5 seconds and increases its damage by 30%.

Flamestrike is one of the spells available to the Kael'thas and Blood Mage hero units in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.
Flamestrike is a basic Mage spell in Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. The flavor text reads: "When the ground is on fire, you should not stop, drop, and roll."
