- It's also good for kiting in PvP or finishing off fleeing enemies.
- It's often considered an excellent choice for pulling, regardless of the druid's specialization due to its instant cast and long lasting DoT.
Trivia
- Sunfire is a rare example of an ability that appeared in the Trading Card Game before it actually appeared in the game.
