Your damaging Blast Wave and Dragon's Breath spells have a 50/100% chance to make your next Flamestrike spell instant cast and cost no mana. Lasts 10 sec.
Firestarter is a mage talent located on tier 9 of the Fire tree.
Previous Uses[]
In PvE, it boosts the Fire Mage's AoE capabilities by granting 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 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.
Patch 4.0.6 (2011-02-08): Now allows the mage to cast [Scorch] while moving (regardless of which armor spell is used), and no longer eliminates [Molten Armor]'s critical strike chance reduction.
Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): Firestarter is now a Tier 4 and 1 Rank talent, down from Tier 9 and 2 Ranks. Revamped - Your Molten Armor allows you to cast the Scorch spell while moving instead of reducing the chance you are critically hit.
Patch 3.3.0 (2009-12-08): When this talent is triggered, it makes the next [Flamestrike] cost no mana in addition to being instant.
