There has been many requests asking for a rework of the devastation evoker fire tree. Playing flameshaper and having to use disintegrate as your main essence spender doesn’t feel right. Improving pyre’s single target use through the fire tree seems like a no brainer. Here a few changes that I think will make fire evoker viable.
-
“Volatility” should also trigger on single targets
-
“Firestorm” should be instant cast and deal double damage baseline instead of requiring a proc
-
“Snapfire” should give pyre and living flame a 15% chance instantly explode into a Firestorm (instead of triggering a free cast)
-
“Feed the Flames” should give pyre a 35%-55% damage to SINGLE targets (either a direct buff or a stacking one)
These few changes will improve fire’s single target damage without boosting its aoe. They will also remove some annoying redundancies in the fire rotation particularly in regards to Firestorm.

Agreed. I’d love to integrate FireStorm into my build if it was just better

My much preferred solution for firestorm is this:
1: firestorm can proc essence burst at a 30/40% chance
2: storm is always insta but retains the proc with snap fire.
3: snap fire works with pyre and disintegrate, not pyre and living flame.
These changes would just make firestorm feel better to press both in and and st, this ability has a lot of potential.
Also, buff flame shaper, still far too weak compared to scale.
Firestorm is a good ability, the problem is not the proc, the problem is that it interacts with the wrong abilities and does not generate essence burst.
And in general as with all other specs, reduce or remove 2 talent nodes and fill back up with other talents.
The problem is the talent point investment to make it decent in the first place.
Whether it generates EB or not and has logical interactions, you still give up too much to take it.
That’s not a real problem, most abilities are like that, you just have to make it good enough.
Also, with eb proc it would definitely be good enough to be competitive
