It's actually better for you to max Napalm if people get Wand against you. You're not going to kill them with Firefly on 0 stacks anyway--you're still going to be throwing out Napalm just the same. If you're stacking Napalm either way, you'd rather them be getting Wand charges for strong Napalm stacks than for weak ones.

not to mention they have to trade last hits for napalm stacks, in long lanes this can be pretty brutal

The math also agrees with maxing Napalm first.

Note: ignoring napalm-based damage gain from physical attacks

Napalm:
10/15/20/25

Firefly:
20/40/60/80

Level 7: max Napalm (4/1/1/1) or Firefly (1/1/4/1)

Napalm Stacks = x

Max Napalm DPS:
25x + 20

Max Firefly DPS:
10x + 80

25x + 20 = 10x + 80
15x = 60
x = 4

Just through comparing Firefly damage with additive Napalm stacks we see that at level 7, maxed Napalm yields higher DPS than maxing Firefly. This doesn't even take into account bonus damage granted through physical hits or Flamebreak, which only tip the scales further in favor of maxing Napalm first.

^Oh derp yeah forgot you could skill something above 1 when maxing another.

for the sake of completeness
25x + 40 = 15x + 80
10x = 40
x = 4 stacks still

On the topic of Sticky Napalm:

"All damage from Batrider's attacks, items and skills is amplified, except for damage from Radiance."

Does this mean that Sticky Napalm damage is added to Orb of Venom procs?

I think it was when he was added but changed then, because it was so imbalanced, could be wrong though

Every damage instace that deals more than 36(radiance dmg after reduction) will get amplified.
You could even buy a veil of discord, and cast it on the enemy, than radiance will get amplified

well pretty sure radiance instance isn't a single instance of 40 a second so it still won't proc
napalm proc'd off radiance when batrider first came out and it was one of the most hilarious things ever
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

It is...

Radiance + Sticky naplam + any damage amplification -> radiance will trigger naplam
