Wildfire bugged?

[Faerlynn]

It extends current burn duration by 4 seconds but it doesn't apply it. Yes it's how it's supposed to work, the translation is just bad.

Wildfire description says ''burn lasts for 4 sec''.

Well, it doesnt apply burn at all.

You can fire it at a target and it wont burn.
It will only apply burn if the target already burns.

 

Is it suppose to work like this?

So it extends single target burn and only spreads ember stacks?

I'm actually not sure if it only extends burn on the first target it hits or on all targets hit. It's not interesting to use it anyway even in AoE situations because refreshing burn with T3S2 Impact is better as it deals much more damage.

The ability is pretty bad. You're better off optimizing your DPS by reapplying burn with Force Blast rather than using Wildfire for anything ever in PvE.

The trick is to for example short fuse it (9s) and when it hits 7s you land wildfire, whiech at 6s it'll start the effect , also works on 4s marker. the effect is taht instead of going down the counter repeats either 6 or 4 second marker 4 times.  So it would be like: short fuse : 9, 8, 7, 6, shoot wildfire, 5, land wildfire, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1. 
That's how it extends the burn effect.
It's very usefull when you find FM pugs autodet your embers and you cant find the timing to hit those 5 stacks to keep it, so when you  finally get burn either by detonating or by short fuse you can wildfire and dps 4 more seconds.

Thanks for the info.
