Inscription of the Flint
When a basic attack deals a critical hit, applies 5 Burning for 10 seconds.
Sparks from flint ignite your foes.
Effects & keywords
Burning (on enemy): 3 magic damage per stack, every 1 second (flat, does not scale with attack power; stacks up to 50). Example: 10 stacks = 30 magic damage/second before resistance. Duration is set by the applying skill. It never misses, is never guarded or critical and goes past Barrier, but the target's Magic Resistance still cuts it (x 100 / (100 + resistance)). On a Wet or Heavily Wet target each tick is x0.8.
How the math works
A critical hit from a basic attack or a skill 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: Any damage hit made by the wearer, basic attack or skill, and only on a critical result.
Worked numbers
| Critical hits | 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 hit 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.
- The code no longer checks which skill or effect made the hit. A hit published by an effect in the wearer's name, such as a Storm proc that crits, can also trigger it. This is read from the code and was not tested in game.
- 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.
- A skill that hits several targets can trigger it once for each target it crits.
