Issue Description:
I have been trying to design a spellsword build and was running into consistency issues with wildfire spreading to other enemies. I went and did some testing and found that whenever an enemy has a preset death animation, the soulblaze will not spread until the animation ends, resulting in up to a few seconds where wildfire won’t activate. Death animations happen constantly and can be caused by any weapon in the game. If a death animation plays they are often long enough that the enemies that would have been affected by wildfire have already died and don’t get to further proc wildfire, resulting in the intended purpose of wildfire just not occurring at random.
Steps to Reproduce:
Have the Wildfire Talent. Go into the Meat Grinder and simply apply a soulblaze effect (recommended with Blazing Spirit blessing since it’s easy to hit a single target at a time). Once a target is affected by soulblaze, just kill them. Repeat until you get a death animation (Like clutching at their missing head or reaching for a severed arm). The Soulblaze won’t spread to a new target until after the animation has played and the body has ragdolled.

As a side, due to the fact soulblaze from the Blazing Spirit blessing doesn’t get to proc if the strike kills the target, wildfire doesn’t get to proc either and a “crit build” trying to use Blazing Spirit with it will have many occasions where you will land a crit and kill the target, nullifying the blessing. It results in a very counter intuitive system as you want to build crit, but crits cause you to kill which mean the blessing becomes useless against poxwalkers or even elites on lower difficulties.
It isn’t a bug, but it would make Blazing Spirit a much better and more intuitive blessing to use if even on death it will still apply the soulblaze so that wildfire and other “enemy killed while affected by soulblaze” related talents like In Fire Reborn can still apply their effects.
