Improved Flamestrike
Mage · Fire · Row 3 of 7 · 3 ranks
Improved Flamestrike sits in row 3 of the Mage Fire tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 3 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.
What Improved Flamestrike does at each rank
A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.
- Rank 1: Increases the critical strike chance of your Flamestrike spell by 5%.
- Rank 2: Increases the critical strike chance of your Flamestrike spell by 10%.
- Rank 3: Increases the critical strike chance of your Flamestrike spell by 15%.
How to reach Improved Flamestrike
Row 3 opens after you spend 10 points in the earlier Fire rows. Level 20 is the earliest you can pick up Improved Flamestrike.
Is Improved Flamestrike worth the points?
Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.
