Flame Shock is one of the three shock spells available to shamans. This is considered the most mana-efficient shock, owing to the higher total damage when the DoT is added. Because the DoT component can critically strike any shaman can increase the effectiveness of this spell through Spell crit.

Notes
It has a 6-second cooldown shared with other shocks, which makes all the shocks unusable for 6 seconds.
