Blizzard
We want to make
Ignite spread something the player has agency over, and first experimented with the past system of making
Fire Blast spread it. However, because of the importance of using
Fire Blast for
Hot Streak very frequently, we've seen feedback that this creates a lot of tension and still makes it difficult to control when you and don't want Ignite to spread.
In the next alpha build, we're going to try letting
Phoenix Flames fill this role, as a baseline spell for Fire Mages. This gives
Phoenix Flames a unique function and identity as a core spell, as well as allowing for more choice over when to spread
Ignite. If we continue with the change, we'll look into a new talent to replace
Phoenix Flames in upcoming builds.
