    Later on you get a trait that will occasionally double the damage of scathe. But yeah, useful for kiting, and FATES with lots of mobs so you can get hits in and not wait for casting times when switching enemies and finishing off near dead/weak enemies

    Good call! Much easier to instant cast Scathe on a target to tab it for FATE instead of a 2.5sec ramp up where the target may be dead before the cast ends.

    Also another quick question, does Fire 3 completely take over Fire 2? As in should Fire 2 just be removed off the bar?

    Fire 3 and Fire 2 are completely different. Fire 2 is an AoE and Fire 3 is a single-target spell. Use Fire 3 at full mana (for 3 stacks of Astral Fire), and then whenever Firestarter procs off of Fire 1.

    I never use fire II lol just stick with fire III and then fire/fire III when you get the "fire starter" trait. If I need to do aoe I use bliz II but usually only on weaker mob groups

    Completely different spells. Fire 2 is your AoE, for use on large, weak groups. Fire 3 is used to switch to the fire part of the fire/ice cycle as it instantly gives you Astral Fire III, and when Firestarter on Fire 1 procs. Fire 1 remains your primary Fire attack spell throughout.
