Hello, first off, i'm still leveling, but soon to be 85 and grinding through the ol' heroics
2 main questions:
1. When attacking a group of 4 mobs, and cleaving LB & Ignite (+pyro!) Via impact, LB comes off my primary target (I assume this is because of the 3 mob max rule of LB) but means that LB is no longer effected by Critical Mass. Any way around this?
2. ATm I have glyphed LB, MA, Pyro - have fireball glyph in bags but is it really a huge dps increase? atm LB is doing more damage than anything else for me during my instance runs - will change when raiding i'm sure - but for now whats the best combo?
Ty!

Not really. Its a toss up. Either put up three living bombs manually, or have your primary target's living bomb fall off after impact. Much easier to just impact the living bomb without having the living bomb effected by critical mass.

For heroics and extensive trash, glyphs of Molten Armor, Living Bomb, and Fireball would be best. Glyph of Pyroblast would replace Living Bomb in a single target scenario such as boss fights. I wouldn't recommend the glyph of pyroblast over fireball, just because of how often fireball is cast in comparison to pyroblast, in any circumstance.
Ttiamus, quick on the response I see

I'm currently using Glyph of LB over Pyroblast in raids. Reason is, on my damage meters, LB is always second on the list of damage done, while Pyroblast is usually 4th or 5th.
Has anyone ever have Pyroblast do more damage than LB total in a boss fight?

Wrong glyph benefit calculation method.
LB glyph is pure damage glyph. It affects DoT cleave (listed as LB damage), Combustion and Ignite (in a very slight manner).
Pyro glyph is crit glyph, it affects instants portion of your Pyro (Dot cant crit), Ignite damage (need to get overall Pyro crit damage and multiply it by 0.4 to get results), Combustion damage (due to higher Ignites).
To effectively measure your LB vs Pyro glyphs you need to add the portion of damage that is hidden as listed on other damage talents/abilities, while its partially caused by those glyphs.
To answer your question, no. Damage listed are Pyroblast! is never higher than damage listed as Living Bomb on bosses with adds I really havent checked it on pure single target bosses but i guess its similar.

Hmmm, hadn't thought of it that way before. Looks like I need to re-analyze my logs.
Thanks, Zakkhar
