If you have 0% duration for ignite you will deal 80% of hit's damage over 4 seconds That's 20% damage per second. If you have 40% duration you now still deal 80% damage but now over 5.6 seconds. That's 14% damage per second. Why would you get this? U wot m8? Please read Many lewt. Much desync. Such rewarding. Wow. According to forum mods "sandwich" is considered an offensive word. Who knew?

That's 14% damage per second. Why would you get this? First of all, its not zero duration at base and secondly the longer the duration the longer the damage is being applied, reducing things like regen for example. Thats why people never understood poison damage in D2.	Posted by Deleted on Jan 6, 2015, 4:40:38 PM
" I take it all the damn time, why wouldnt i? Not everyone is dps whoring, i know i dont, i go for whats there, not for whats the highest number. I would take a "cant crit, poop on hit" node if it was there. "Can't crit, shit on hit" sounds cooler! Yay profanity saves the day!	Posted by Prizy on Jan 6, 2015, 4:46:15 PM Quote this Post
" Increasing the duration of the Ignite, either via Temporal Chains or the % increased Ignite duration modifier, causes the ignite to deal the same damage per second over a greater period of time.

That's 14% damage per second. Why would you get this? That's not the way ignite works. You think it's the same total damage spread out over a longer period of time. That's incorrect. The way it works is increasing burn duration does the same damage PER SECOND over a longer period of time, meaning the total damage is increased for every second added. That's why people take burn duration. My name is Statik and I'm an Altaholic. I need to make new builds. Just for try for see and for know.

" battled wrote: >ITT people claiming wikipedia articles as facts. This truly is the year of sheep. As opposed to following your "basic" mechanical concepts as fact. I didn't have to look up on wiki to know you were incorrect on this calculation. Sorry you had a fail forum discussion :(	Posted by Millacus on Jan 6, 2015, 5:44:27 PM Quote this Post
