Firestarter (old)

Firestarter is a Mage talent in the Fire tree. It allows the mage to cast Scorch while moving.

Previous Versions
Firestarter's previous version was: "Your damaging Blast Wave and Dragon's Breath spells have a X% chance to make your next Flamestrike spell instant cast and cost no mana. Lasts 10 sec."

Previous Uses

 * In PvE, it boosts the Fire Mage's AoE capabilities by granting him instant Flamestrikes with every Dragon's Breath cast (as you won't be using Blast Wave due to its knockback), which is useful in 5-mans and some raiding, aside from granting him an extra instant which is just nice to have when soloing.


 * In PvP, it is... another instant. It adds to burst damage potential as any other instant spell would and does so nicely because of Flamestrike's good spell power coefficient (which is based on its normally 3.0 second casting time). A Fire Mage who casts Fire Blast, Blast Wave, Flamestrike, Dragon's Breath, Flamestrike and another Fire Blast in quick succession (possible with Improved Fire Blast) can be a foe to contend with in a battleground.
