Tips and Tactics
Due to the long cast time, this should be used to open battles. This is one of the few things a fire specialized mage can do to improve his mana efficiency; this spell has better DPM then Fireball.
However, mages that have this talent and Presence of Mind combine the two to devastating effect; an instant heavy damage ball of fire to the face. If it is used in this way, it is probably best to open with Frostbolt (for snare) or Fireball (for damage) and then activate Presence of Mind, and then cast this. You could use Pyroblast to open the battle, and it would definitely do good burst damage, but the DoT effect for each of the Pyroblast casts would probably not stack. If this is true, it would probably not be worth opening with Pyroblast.
