Firestarter is a Mage talent in the Fire tree. It causes the Fire spells Blast Wave and Dragon's Breath (both of which are talented AoEs) to cause your next Flamestrike to be instant at max rank.

Uses
- In PvE, it boosts the Fire Mage's AoE capabilities by granting him instant Flamestrikes with every Dragon's Breath cast (as you won't be using Blast Wave due to its knockback), which is useful in 5-mans and some raiding, aside from granting him an extra instant which is just nice to have when soloing.
- In PvP, it is... another instant. It adds to burst damage potential as any other instant spell would and does so nicely because of Flamestrike's good spell power coefficient (which is based on its normally 3.0 second casting time). A Fire Mage who casts Fire Blast, Blast Wave, Flamestrike, Dragon's Breath, Flamestrike and another Fire Blast in quick succession (possible with Improved Fire Blast) can be a foe to contend with in a battleground.
