Inscription of the Flint
When a Critical Hit occurs, inflict 5 Burning for 10 seconds.
Sparks from flint ignite your foes.
Effects & keywords
Burning (on enemy): 3 magic damage per stack, every second, ignoring defense and shields (flat, does not scale with attack power; stacks up to 50). Example: 10 stacks = 30 magic damage/second. Duration is set by the applying skill.
How the math works
A critical basic attack applies 5 stacks of Burning to the target for 10 seconds.
Where it lands: The Burning stacks land on the target of the critical hit.
When it runs: After a critical hit lands.
What it applies to: Basic attacks only, and only on a critical result.
Worked numbers
| Critical basic attacks | Burning stacks applied |
|---|---|
| 1 | 5 |
| 2 | 10 |
| 3 | 15 |
| 5 | 25 |
| 10 | 50 |
Burning stacks applied, before the target's stack ceiling.
Rule of thumb: Each critical basic attack is 5 Burning stacks.
Things the tooltip does not tell you
- The trigger is the resolved result on the hit's log, which means a critical that was actually processed, not merely a critical roll.
- Behaviour against a target that took 0 damage from an immune result was not verified.
How it interacts with other effects
- Critical chance drives the whole effect, so it scales with anything that raises it.
