It's a pretty nice skill... but there's that 25 energy cost... kinda prohibitive for an Elementalist secondary to use with frequency...

Wow, using this in combination with firestorm and frajility could possibly be one of the most lethal skill combos in the game.

Firestorm would trigger it too often for the On FIre to ever wear off, I think, and would be easy to move out of the effect of.
Typically, Rodgort and Fragility use just a fire-weapon. Though Incendiary Arrows and Fragility have an interrupting side effect that works even if a hex gets removed.
But yes, On Fire and Fragility is very powerful, when there's no hex removal around.

The casting time has been lowered to 1 second.

In my opinion, one of the absolute most destructive spells in the game. I use it on 3/4 of my characters. I love it. The engergy is a little high, but with some work, you can get around it.

Since im a ele/necro i use this then i use flare then virulence(E) cuz virulence makes them diseased poisoned and suffer weakness if they r suffering a condition

Trogdorrrrr, gg burninating.

hey i think this skill lasts longer than the description says it does.
I tested it on a fragility build, putting fire magic at 2 for a maximum of 1 secs the target is set on fire. but when i tested it on the dummies i found that fragility wouldnt trigger showing it ends between wand attacks. Since wands have s 1.75 sec cast time and a 1 sec flight time (from missle weapon properties guide) theoratically i should easily be able to activate fragility twice between attacks. Since this doesnt happen I'm asking whether this skill is bugged or what i'm doing wrong with fragility.

Yes, Mark of Rodgort's burning time is definitely lasting longer than listed.

I was having fun with that until I got bored with scarab queen hunting.
I used a double attunement build, so it had a net energy cost of only 6, while Flare and Fireball had net energy costs of 2 each. Pretty lethal, although it's hard to be perfectly organized about Marking multiple adjacent monsters and then Fireballing the whole group.
(Note: If you're trying to go enchantment-heavy in that area of the desert, run don't walk away from any dead enemies or you'll wind up unhappily inside a Well of the Profane. But I digress ...)

Fevered Dreams is a bit slow and clunky. Each application of a condition has to be fresh, rather than a renewal, for it to spread, so you have to time your condition causing so that it's always there after the last one ended.
With Mark of Rodgort, this is particularly annoying.

I'm wondering about some possibilities ... mark of rodgort + greater conflagration (the ranger elite phys becomes fire damage spirit)

It would work, but it'd be a waste of an elite as the sole combo.
If you could keep Greater Conflagration alive, using it in conjunction with Ward Against Harm would mitigate a lot of base damage, Mark of Rodgort for supplementary degen, and Mantra of Flame, you might get somewhere. Unfortunately, that first problem cripples builds. Greater Conflagration is something to build an entire team around, but it's not reliable enough to build an entire team around, if that makes sense.
For the most part, you're better off with spreading straight degeneration hexes rather than Mark of Rodgort. The only redeeming quality Mark of Rodgort really has is its reduced cost under attunements. Otherwise, even Conjure Nightmare is more promising, and I don't even like it >_>
However, if you've got the skill slot to fit it in, and you can make effective use of it, then go for it.

... That was just a first thought when I read about this as I was thinking about degen stuff ... but after I posted this I came up with a weird idea:
ele/r - fiery bow, poison arrow or apply poison (currently pa but may switch to use ele attunement), hunters shot ... I can make stuff bleed, burn, and poison constantly ... kinda fun hehe (unless they have plague touch/sending/signet :-P)

Seems easier, more powerful and less skills involved.

Mark of R 's energy cost has been reduced to only 15 and it now affects adjacent enemies in addition to the target. This is now the single most powerful nuker skill when combined with other fire skill IMHO. Recently I have used Mark of R with Glyph of Renewal and Breath of FIre and Breath of Fire when a melee enemie is being blocked with your teams aggro tank. Other combos that i like: MOR + G of Renewal + Glowing Gaze + Glowing Gaze does serious damage Plus returns 20 energy if your have maximum fire attributes.
MOR basically makes any nuking skill into a health degeneration. Be clever and use this with any fire skill that causes multiple damage over time (breath of fire, Metoer Showever, lava font etc) and you have amazing damage because the target(s) are set on fire each time the fire damage triggers. This skill is also effective with low to medium energy cost skills with fast recharge skills such as flare, lava arrows (affects three targets) or even incidiary bonds.
