Another factor if you're using a burn that's not quite as extreme as flameblast, is that increased duration increases the maximum monster life that you're capable of igniting. It can be very helpful for non-flameblast, non-crit burn builds.

Ignite does not work like Chill/Shock/Freeze, it will Ignite for 20% of the fire damage per second for 4s regardless of how much damage is dealt*




OP you do understand that the PoE Wiki is not Wikipedia - it is maintained by moderators who datamine the ggpk file for information like this. I've yet to come across any information on the mechanics in the PoE Wiki that is incorrect.


* Perhaps you need to deal 5 fire damage to get your minimum of 1 damage per second, but yeah
