    Wildfire

    I'm glad that Wildfire finally has a real animation, but I'm still not really a fan of it.

    Wildfire's description states that you are applying a slow-burning pitch that compiles a portion of the damage you have dealt. The animation looks more like a steam-powered Time Bomb that you set on the mob. I guess it just wasn't what I expected given the wording in the tooltip. At least there's an explosion, though.

    Always thought the animation wasn't the most appropriate one too (even before the 3.3 animation change, you could see it looked like a bomb when casting it).

    That said, I guess you can imagine you're throwing some kind of plastic explosive on your target. You know, the ones that feel like play-dough and can be molded and spread around - then you shoot it enough times and it blows up.

    YMMV. This is admittedly the animation I'd always pictured it having. X3

    I suppose, however the actual name *Wildfire* and the slow-burning pitch description just don't lead me in anyway to think that I am detonating a bomb of any kind. It seems more as though you are progressively fueling a fire that culminates in an explosive wave of flames.
