Incinerate

Incinerate is a fire spell, that launches a torrent of fire from character's hand. The longer character repeatedly casts the spell from the same location, the larger and more damaging the flames become.

Skill Functions and Interactions

Incinerate gains more damage when cast continuously from one spot, up to a maximum of 150% more damage (rather than three separate 50% more damage modifiers). The next stage is reached after four casts. At each stage, the flames become visibly larger and will spread out in a small cone instead of always going in a straight line. The spell will revert to its first stage if the player stops casting for more than a fraction of a second, even if they do not move from the spot they are standing on.

Piercing: Incinerate's projectiles always pierce, so it cannot be supported by or .

Damage Effectiveness: The damage effectiveness of Incinerate is a relatively low 30%. However, at the highest stage of Incinerate, flat damage (such as from Herald of Thunder, Herald of Ice, , or ) is added to Incinerate at 75% their normal values because of the 150% more damage modifier.

Critical strikes: Incinerate has a 0% base critical strike chance. However, it is possible for it to deal a critical strike on an enemy cursed with . It can also be supported by the gem, which increases base critical chance for supported skills as of patch 2.2.0.

Incinerate is not affected by .
