Connect Pyroblast to Hot Streak and reach Combustion. The allocation keeps Fire critical effects and the mana-return option together.

Editorial planning guide, grounded in the supplied beta talent descriptions. The allocation and point order have been checked for legal ranks and prerequisites. Combat performance has not been simulated or game-tested.

When to use this plan

Hot Streak names the eligible spells in its tooltip. Combustion ends after its listed critical-strike condition; it is not a permanent critical bonus.

What you give up

Deep Fire forgoes Ice Barrier and Arcane Power. Target resistances and encounter mechanics are outside this allocation planner.

Why these core choices?

Pyroblast

Hurls an immense fiery boulder that causes 101 to 131 Fire damage and an additional 44 Fire damage over 12 sec.

Selected rank 1 of 1.

Hot Streak

Your non-periodic critical strikes with Fireball, Frostfire Bolt, Fire Blast, and Scorch grant Hot Streak for 20 sec. Hot Streak reduces the cast time of Pyroblast by 25%, stacking up to 3 times.

Selected rank 1 of 1. Requires Pyroblast.

Master of Elements

Your Fire and Frost critical strikes will refund 30% of their base mana cost.

Selected rank 3 of 3.

Combustion

When activated, this spell causes each of your Fire damage spell hits to increase your critical strike chance with Fire damage spells by 10%. This effect lasts until you have caused 4 non-periodic critical strikes with Fire spells.

Selected rank 1 of 1. Requires Critical Mass.

Level-by-level point order

This route reaches the complete allocation without a respec. It follows this guide’s core choices and prerequisites, rather than claiming an optimal speed-leveling route. Talented changes the level when each point becomes available, not the 51-point limit.

First point at level 10; all 51 points at level 60.

Use a Talented rank your character has actually unlocked in the Legacy system. This control models its point timing, not the rest of your Legacy allocation.
