    On a single target fire loadout, assuming you have something else to cause burning like heat vision,. Which is the better choice?

    Inferno if you're doing standard single target.
    Overheat if you're dealing with adds...OR...You're using the Transmutation/Strategist Artifact combo.

    Inferno is our highest dot and should be in almost every fire loadout. Whether you have another power that starts the PI, Inferno is still a better choice than overheat imo. But there is nothing stopping you from using both

    Only time overheat should be used over inferno is when things are mobile (move a lot)

    Inferno nets a lot more damage than Overheat, but Overheat splits differently -- the primary target always takes full damage, and the damage from the aura gets split if there's adds around.

    Spontaneous Combustion is also a good choice.

    I actually forgot about the splitting lol

    So here's the dumb question- once they leave the inferno circle, they stop taking damage except for burning, correct? I always though once they touched it they're taking damage until inferno ends.
