Fire

• Burning Precision — Burning you inflict has increased duration and your critical hits gain a chance to inflict burning.
• Pyromancer's Training — Your fire-weapon skills gain reduced recharge. Deal more damage to burning foes.
• Pyromancer's Puissance — Gain might for using any skill while attuned to fire. When leaving fire attunement or successfully completing a fire overload, unleash a Flame Expulsion.
• Blinding Ashes — Inflict blindness on foes you burn. This trait can only affect the same enemy once per interval.

Notes

• Attack rate is 1 attack per 1.16 seconds
• The secondary strike spell is left on the ground from the initial strike and creates a visual effect which looks like a column of flames.
• The secondary strike has a radius of 90 and detonates 1 sec after the initial hit.
• The skill description does not mention the secondary strike radius, neither does it specify if the (detonation) spell area is left on the ground or on the enemy.
