more dps ftw! Every point adds up.

Would be awesome for raiding
Not so awesome for PvP unless to prevent dispelling

So in this 8962 version...I'm supposed to cast this single target on every person with spells every 30 mins in a raid. Yeah that is definitely not fun.

Comentado por 132457

the description is kind of confusing. I'm assuming that "target" is the same as the "caster" meaning that whoever has this buff gets a base +3% crit and an additional +3% crit whenever they crit on something. I don't see how a 3 - 6% crit buff is OP.

In the current build (8962), focus magic is a 30 minute duration buff mages can cast on others but not themselves.

Tested it a bit on the ptr, and the tooltip is obviously lacking in description - you can only have it on one person at any time; if you had it cast on person A, and then cast focus magic again on person B, person A loses focus magic, and person B gains it instead.

In addition, it seems though at the moment the second part (where the caster who crits gains extra crit chance) is either not implemented or not showing up whatsoever:

Mage friend and myself(paladin) went outside of exodar near the lowbie mobs. He buffed me with focus magic, and I gained the 3% spell crit as the buff states, but as I went around and crit things with judgement, but there was no visual buff that appeared on my character nor his, and there was no change in my spell or physical crit. (though there might be an issue as I am not certain if judgement crits count as spell crit if the buff requires it to be a spell crit. I know I crit several times with melee hits and there still was no change. I will edit this later after I try it out with my druid.)

EDIT: Just tried it out again with mage friend on my druid. The second part does indeed work. This is what it does:

Mage casts it on person A. Person A's spell crit goes up by 3%, and if they crit with a spell, the mage gets a 10 second buff for 3% extra crit. Doesn't seem to stack, though the lag made it difficult to tell if things were timing properly..

I'm curious to know if, after it procs the +3% crit on the caster, whether it disappears from the original target. If not, this is finally a nice solid buff to Focus Magic. For example, putting it on someone with an already-high crit rate, you could have an almost 100% uptime. Going to test this out today, will post with results.

Quite silly you can't place this buff on yourself to be honest. Makes it a less wanted talent for me as a mage, as it doesn't benefit me at all, unless some other mage with it casts it on me....

I hope it'll be changed so we can place this on ourselves aswell.

Comentado por Nostie

The tooltip says that when the person you cast it on crits, you get the buff -- it doesn't specify that they must crit with a spell... (although it DOES say that they only get the 3% crit addition to spells)...

I'm pretty sure they mean that only when the person you cast it on's SPELL crits, you get the buff.

Can someone confirm?

Comentado por 225317

As it does not specify otherwise, I would assume this works on healing spells as well. Does anyone know if that is the case? If so, it might be an interesting buff for a holy paladin, as they generally have high crit rates and tend to spam short spells. If someone could let me know if it does in fact, effect healing spells, that would be awesome. Thanks!

When Elemental Shaman get the potential to be more Fire-based at level 80, it may be a good idea to put this on an Elemental Shaman primarily. With Lava Burst being a guaranteed crit on any targets with Flame Shock on them, it wouldn't be difficult to keep the proc up constantly.

This buff clears when the receiver zones to a different map.

Comentado por 55952

If there are no other casters in your group, you can still buff a melee class with this. I'm not sure if they still get 3% crit, probably not, but they crit with a melee attack, you will still get the 3% crit proc.

I just respeced arcane and put a point in this spell because I had a good experience with it on the combat dumies in the capitol cities when someone else buffed me with it.

I just think it's too micromanaging to put a point into this. I'm a fire mage at heart and this, sir, is NO combustion. I guess part of the problem was that I expected it to work like an immediate-rewarding effect buff, but I'm not a Paladin, I'm not used to buffing others.

There would be no words to describe how happy I would be if they made this a self-cast buff and reworked it entirely...but then it'd be too powerful for a talet at it current tier, right?

Increases the target's chance to critically hit with spells by 3%. When the target critically hits the caster's chance to critically hit with spells is increased by 3% for 10 sec. Cannot be cast on self.

Is it only me who wonders if that only procs on SPELL CRITICALS? Because it says 'When the target critically hits.', doesnt say anything about spell criticals.

Anyone has an idea?

Confirmed, the 3% crit stacks with Boomkin Aura.

Comentado por 114186

If you duel someone you can buff them then spell steal the buff back, giving 3% passive crit and an extra 3% every time you crit. I'm not sure if this works on one that you didn't originally cast yourself though.

Comentado por Kleiner

I can confirm this works with healing spells on the live servers. Running today as Resto Druid in Utgarde Keep, I focued on Regrowth (70% crit chance) and made sure the mage had this buff up at all times. it's a very nifty spell that i can see working well on Boom/Resto druids, Holy Pallies, and Resto Shammies, amongst other casters.

Is it possible to have multiples of this buff on one person? I raid with two mages specced for it, can they both put Focus Magic on me?

Comentado por 175408

It's worth mentioning that you can only have this buff up on one person at a time.
If you cast it on someone else, the first person you cast it on will lose the buff.

Comentado por Hypnotic

Does this buff stack with the 5% Crit aura from Moonkin? I don't believe it did when it was buffed on me, but I can't say if the mage got the 3% from the talent in addition to 5% from aura or not.. But I dont think that I got an extra 3% spell crit from being buffed with Focus Magic.

Comentado por 134688

Does anybody know the range you need for the proc? ie. im 1 side of bg, the person with the buff is the other side, do i still get it from there crits?

Comentado por 258919

If you cast this spell on someone, how far is the range for the caster buff? EG, I cast it on a druid and they cast a spell and crit. How close to them do I have to be to get the buff?

Comentado por 278642

Does this also proc on warlock DoT crits?

Comentado por 259093

Procs of the Thunderfury proc.

Yea, my holy pally is really annoyed at the big mage circle-jerk where they all trade out FMs and refuse to give it to those who need it(crit-centric healers).

Comentado por Merylyan

I may be wrong but it seems that Focus Magic doesn't proc on HoTs which can crit (e.g. a Druid with the 4-piece T9 bonus). :(

Comentado por Reno11234

Speaking as a level 80 rogue, I can confirm that Focus magic will in fact proc from a rogue for the mage. My friend is a level 80 mage, and casted it on me during a heroic run. Rogue poisons count as spells, so instant and deadly poison crits WILL proc this spell. My mage friend never lost the buff as long as I was in combat.

Comentado por 257415

Speaking as a shadowpriest, it's really nice when I get this from a mage. That usually only happens in 10mans and 5mans because the mages will typically give it to each other as a holy pally stated a few posts up I believe.

I reason why I like it more on my shadowpriest than on my shaman is because my shadowpriest seems to hit more of a sweetspot when gaining crit over 25%. Currently I have 22.81% crit (with other spells having increased chances of course, like dots and direct damage spells). As I was gearing up to where I'm at now, crit really made my dps jump when all other stats basically stayed the same. So, in all, shadowpriests, though it seems they have a lower crit than others, could really increase the raid dps a large amount while still keeping this buff up on the casting mage full time (assuming the priest is casting).

The main reason why I wanted to post is to tell arcane mages that this is better used on a casting dps and not a healer. Sure, the pally or disc priest will pop a hardon at all the critting they're doing and they'll say that it'll help them heal better, but assuming you're actually diong something challenging, your raid will get a better return if you increase somebody's dps than increasing somebody's healing.

TLDR, put this on a casting dps, elemental shaman, shadow priest, warlock of any flavor, other mages (of course), balance druids, or even enhancement (melee) shamans before you give it to the healers.

edit, apparently rogue poisons can crit, so they may be a good recipient assuming there arent' any other real casters in your group.

If you have to choose between a healer and a DPS class to cast this on in a raid, do the healer unless it's a DPS class that's particularly known for their high crits. Why is this? Because in raid situations, a healer critting will help a group more than a DPS critting. A 10k big heal that turns into a 15-20k big heal can make all the difference in a close fight, and this especially helps if it's, say, a Pally healer, who are known for their crits. For instances and heroics, go ahead and prioritize DPS. (I understand some may disagree with me, and that's fine; but my experience is that it always matters more having a healer crit like a machine than a DPS critting like a machine.)

You could technically put this on a Enhancement Shammy or a melee class that uses spells too, but make that your very last priority. Enh Shammies usually have nice crit rates for sure, but they're only using those spells 15% of the time, and not all of them crit. I *believe* this also works for ALL magic school damage attacks that can crit, including those of the DK, Pally, etc. So these are also classes you can try it on to get the buff, but a caster class would benefit more.

You are quite right.
That's because the "crit" portion of a HoT is not actually applied by the healer (most likely druid) in question, but rather by the buff the druid placed on the player receiving the heal.
Step 1) you cast Focus magic on me
Step 2) I put Rejuvenation on the tank (assume chance to be critical)
Step 3) Rejuvenation crits.
Step 4) you do not receive the focus magic bonus, because the effect "heal x over y" acts as a buff, not a player.
Step 5) I crit-nourish the tank, you get the focus magic bonus, because the heal coming directly from me crit.

Hey everyone, I'd just like to ask If the buff is put on a let's say a rogue and he crits with a melee or abilty will the buff proc aswell? I just wondered since the tooltip states 'When the target critically hits' and not 'Critically hits with spells' can anyone confirm this? Thanks :)
