Firestream is sometimes worth investing points

We recommend investing into this ability if it works with the build you are running. Although this skill will not be quite as useful as some of the other skills, it certainly has its uses, and it certainly will not hurt to have. While it may seem a bit niche, you can invest into this skill if you have already built your more important skills, and have extra points to spend.

This skill does not deal a lot of damage but, it can give you a guaranteed chance to burn the enemy being targeted since there are multiple times the skill hits the enemy. Even if this skill is maxed out, the total amount of damage it deals is still low compared to how much stamina is being used.

Conclusion

You should only get this skill if you want a guaranteed chance to burn the enemy you are fighting. Investing points to this skill is too expensive for the damage it deals for an offensive Sign like Igni.
