Hurls molten lava at the target, dealing (97.2% of Spell power) Fire damage. Lava Burst will always critically strike if the target is affected by Flame Shock.
Lava Burst is a direct damageShaman class talent that features a strong synergy with [Flame Shock]. It is automatically learned for Elemental and Restoration shamans. Its short cooldown and its ability to reset with [Lava Surge] causes the ability to generally dictate the shaman's dps rotation and priorities. Lava Burst also generates maelstrom for Elemental shaman.
