Mechanics

A hit of damage that has a chance to ignite is capable of inflicting ignite. Critical strikes inherently have a 100% chance to ignite. By default, only fire damage is able to inflict ignite, but certain equipment such as Module Error: Item link: No results found for search parameter "The Three Dragons"., Module Error: Item link: No results found for search parameter "Hrimburn"., Module Error: Item link: No results found for search parameter "Stormfire"., or the Elemental Conflux buff can change which damage types are able to inflict ignite.

Resistance modifiers like penetration do not affect the chance to ignite.

The base duration of ignite is 4 seconds. The burning damage over time is 50% of the base damage of the hit of fire damage (before increased and more multipliers and resistance calculations), per second.^[1] Therefore, over the base duration the target will take 200% of the base damage dealt.^[1] Increasing the duration of the Ignite, either via Temporal ChainsTemporal ChainsSpell, AoE, Duration, Curse, Hex

The minimum effective duration of ignite is 300ms / 0.3s, if a application of ignite has a lower duration it does not apply (as of 3.13).^[3]

Separate applications of ignite do not stack cumulatively. Each ignite effect remains present on the target until it runs its course, but only the one with the highest damage per second will cause damage at any given moment.^[4] For example, assume an enemy is inflicted with ignite for 100 damage per second, then after 2 seconds it is inflicted with ignite for 50 damage per second. The outcome will be 400 damage over 4 seconds followed by 100 damage over 2 seconds.

An exception to ignite stacking does, however, exist. Module Error: Item link: No results found for search parameter "Emberwake". grants an additional ignite, and equipping two would result in three ignite stacks.

As an ailment, modifiers to attack, spell, melee, and ranged damage will not apply to ignite, nor will damage modifiers that are only applicable to the skill itself.
