Sticky flame

Sticky flame used to be great - mid range, fantastic for kiting, and the flames spreading on sheep was fun.

It was probably too good, so was nerfed to have a range of 1. This took away the primary use (set on fire and run away!), so it became much less useful as a result.

More recently it’s been nerfed further as the flames dissipate quickly if the critter is allowed to move.

So does anyone actually use it now? From what I can see it’s only useful for a melee character dabbling in spells, as you have to sit stationary going toe to toe with the target for it to be any use, and melee dabblers aren’t generally casting level 4 dual-skill spells until the late game, where the damage from sticky flame is pretty forgettable (2d8 at low-middling spell power).
