Fire (33 points)
| Talent | Rank | Effect |

 Improved Fireball | 5/5 | Reduces the casting time of your Fireball and Frostfire Bolt spells by 0.5 sec. |

Why Fire Raid takes these talents
Ignite spreads part of every crit as damage over time. Hot Streak turns crit streaks into free Pyroblasts. Critical Mass lifts the whole tree’s crit chance.
