Overview
Dance of Fire is one of the key Dance buffs of the Blade Dancer, raising the critical damage of every party member. It is one of the most important offensive buffs for physical classes and noticeably increases their DPS. Dance of Fire stacks with the Songs of the Swordsinger, which is why the BD + SWS combo is the standard backbone of any efficient party.

How to Use It
In PvE, Dance of Fire is essential when farming with physical DDs: archers, daggers and warriors. More critical damage directly translates into faster clears and faster farming. In PvP and during castle sieges, the buff helps your party land explosive burst in the shortest possible time. It's especially strong on classes with a high crit chance, such as the Treasure Hunter or Hawkeye.
Tips
Don't forget to refresh Dance of Fire every 2 minutes — letting it drop sharply lowers your party's DPS. Run Dance of Fire together with Song of Earth to balance offense and defense. Combined with Prophecy of Fire and Frenzy, critical damage reaches its peak. The Blade Dancer should always watch the distance to the party so everyone stays inside the buff range.
