I say SF better. The destroyers will laugh at both of them though.

SF is better, imo. Glyph of Immolation only works with spells that have a single target, last I checked. So that severely limits its usability.

Last I checked, SF and GoI didn't work together because SF is AoE and GoI only works on single-target spells.

You can use GoI with something before using SF, I guess, but SF will only damage ONE foe and set the others on fire. So... not much gain, really. Especially if you use two SF eles like I do.

Look at the bug description.

Now, even if SF will trigger the burning, it will only do so for the initial target, and not the adjacent ones.

I haven't played today since I'm still at work, so they might have changed this and the wiki isn't modified to reflect the change. So I might be wrong.

SF + GoI only triggers the burning on the highlighted target. All the other foes you're hitting with SF suffer no effect from GoI at all.

Basically GoI is a totally wasted skillslot in its current condition.
If you want to cause burning, use MoR. It's superior to GoI in almost every way.

Yeah, GoI says "targeted foe" so only one person gets burned. There is a long debate between people in the bug section of the forum between people who think its a bug, or who think it works as designed (me).

Probably works as designed. Not a very useful skill anyway.
