How to reach it

Row 7 opens after you spend 30 points in the earlier Fire rows. Level 40 is the earliest you can pick up Combustion, and you will need Critical Mass maxed first.

Is Combustion worth the points?

One point gives you the full effect. You also need to open row 7 (that is 30 points in the rows above), so take it when the talent suits your build.
