As you all know by now, patch 2.4, currently up on the PTRs, is going to bring many changes (although not as many class changes as I would have liked, but what can you do). Here's one more: a new animation for fire! As seen in the YouTube video above, it currently seems to apply to outdoor, stand-in-one-place type fires, but we can only hope it will be applied to fire effects from spells as well. Mm, fire...

Neat.

Yeah... lemme know when Warlocks get green fire. The fire-spell animations in-game all have green variants, according to the game-files, they're just not being used...

Looks pretty much like the flame-walls in Zul Aman. When you fight the bosses sometimes the entrance is not only sealed but with a fiery wall of flame, that looks a lot like the one in the video...

Looks like they got eager to use the new flame-rendering effects from WLK. Looking very nice. Can't wait to see the new ice effects too.

Seems a little much to me. I love the look of the fire from the WotLK previews, but that looks like a step backwards :/

Maybe bow raid leaders won't have to tell people to MOVE OUT OF THE FIRE ZOMG! Hehe...

Fire effects are the best effects. Very hard to get right in a video game (or so I assume, seeing as how so many fire effects in so many games are so terrible), but when it's done properly, fire looks absolutely incredible.
