Flamestrike

Flamestrike is a Fire mage ground targeted area of effect spell that deals instant damage.

Tips and Tactics

 * Flamestrike is best used against several enemies that are closely stacked together, especially when talented into Flame Patch. However, due to its long cast time, it shouldn't be casted unless Hot Streak is up. Cast when Hot Streak activates instead of Pyroblast when this occurs.

Improvements

 * Flame Patch causes Flamestrike to leave behind a ground effect, burning enemies for additional damage over 8 seconds.
 * Hot Streak allows the next Flamestrike to be instant cast and doubles its Ignite damage.
 * Pyromaniac gives Flamestrike casts a chance to reactivate Hot Streak.

PvP Talents

 * World in Flames reduces the cast time of Flamestrike by 1.25 seconds and increases its damage done by 20%.
