    Old: Your spells no longer trigger Spell nature starfall [Arcane Missiles]. Instead, your critical strikes with Spell fire flamebolt [Fireball], Ability mage frostfirebolt [Frostfire Bolt], Spell fire soulburn [Scorch], Pyroblast, or Spell fire fireball [Fire Blast] have a chance to cause your next Pyroblast spell cast within 15 sec to be instant cast and cost no mana.

  • Cataclysm Hotfix (2010-11-23): Pyroblast! made available by Hot Streak will no longer consume Spell shadow manaburn [Clearcasting].

  • Wrath-Logo-Small Hotfix (2009-08-06): Hot Streak triggers exactly as stated in its tooltip: "2 non-periodic spell criticals in a row using Fireball, Fire Blast, Scorch, Living Bomb, or Frostfire Bolt". Only non-periodic damage interacts with it, and only those spells listed. Periodics do not affect the streak in any way. Direct damage from the listed spells always count, for or against the streak.
