Tactical Information

Smouldering Wrath is a Fire Rune-keeper's strongest direct damage skills, and should be used as often as possible. Make sure that whenever the skill becomes available, you are at max attunement to deal the highest amount of damage. This skill will often become available alongside Essay of Fire. A good rule of thumb is to use Essay of Fire directly before Smouldering Wrath if and only if Empowering Flame is active on the Rune-keeper.
