Sunfire is a level 16 Balance and Restoration druid DoT spell.

Rank 2 is learned at level 32, causing it to apply its damage over time effect to all enemies within 5 yards.

Tips and tactics

• It's also good for kiting in PvP or finishing off fleeing enemies.
• It's often considered an excellent choice for pulling, regardless of the druid's specialization due to its instant cast and long lasting DoT.

Trivia

• Sunfire is a rare example of an ability that appeared in the Trading Card Game before it actually appeared in the game.
