[Shaman/Totem] Fire Totems/Fire Nova should scale with player's crit chance.

[lukaslw]

Fire totems (Magma Totem, Searing Totem) and Fire Nova spell can crit now, but these spells should scale with player's crit chance.

Fire totems and Fire Nova spell crit very rarely now. With 32% of spell crit chance I had only 2% crits on dummy.
Crit rating of a player doesn't affect the totems or the spell.

confirm this; and please remove fire nova from being a 'pet'.
Fire Nova Totem was a pet.
Fire Nova is a spell like all other normal spells.

Fire nova can proc Elemental Devastation
In scripts spell_shaman need to change totem->CastSpell(totem, spellId, true);
to caster->CastSpell(totem, spellId, true);
Shaman will do animation too.

What about Greater Fire Elemental from Fire Elemental Totem ?

[lynxzor]

AoE-wise, he has both a Fire Shield which pulses against all nearby targets every 3 seconds and a Fire Nova which affects all nearby targets and can be cast every 7 seconds or so. Against single targets he also uses a melee attack that does fire damage (and is thus not affected by physical-type debuffs) and a Fire Blast.

Stats: The Fire Friend benefits from our Spellpower, Hit rating/Expertise (his melee attacks are subject to parries, dodges, blocks etc.), Attack Power and Intellect at time of casting only – changes in our stats after cast do not affect him. Because he is not considered a party member, he gets none of our buffs himself, but does benefit from debuffs on a target (specifically: magical damage taken, spell crit chance and general crit chance).

Survival: Immune to all fire-school damage. Gets a passive 90% reduction to all AoE effect damage and cannot be targeted by any RSTS effects which ignore pets. Will NOT benefit from group heal affects which only target party members as he is not considered a member of the party/raid. Will be destroyed if his totem is destroyed or replaced by another.

info from 3.3.2

So, he does not have chance to spell crit like caster

Fire Nova is ok now,
only fire totems need same crit as caster. My pull was rejected so waiting for totem scalling auras

this is still an issue and should be reopened
