Here’s some examples of nodes from Firebrand’s tree!
Incineration (0/1)
Your next melee attack, that is not Firebrand, consumes all stacks of Firebrand and deals more damage per stack consumed (multiplicative with other modifiers).
Illuminating Fire (0/1)
Consuming 3 or more stacks of Firebrand with Incineration guarantees a critical strike.
Fumination (0/3)
Firebrand attacks faster per stack of Firebrand, up to a maximum.
Inferno (0/5)
Stacks of Firebrand also grant Increased Fire Damage Over Time.
Firebrand has a chance to inflict Spreading Flames when hitting an ignited enemy.
(Spreading Flames deals Fire Damage Over Time and spreads to nearby enemies after half a second. Enemies cannot have multiple instances of Spreading Flames at once.)
Brand of Arcanus (0/1)
Stacks of Firebrand add Adaptive Spell Damage rather than Melee Fire Damage.
Pyre (0/1)
If Firebrand hits at least one enemy, it consumes 10 Mana to cast Flame Wave, a spell that deals Fire Damage in a line.
Crossfire (0/3)
You have global Ignite Chance per stack of Firebrand.
Exothermic (0/3)
Flame Reave consumes stacks of Firebrand to add Ignite Chance per stack consumed.
