How Ignite works

FAQ:
-First five crits stacked into ignite contribute all damage for it
-The 5th and final stacked crit has its modifiers snap shotted
-Scorch, scorch, PI whisper, frostbolt, pop CDs, scorch/fireball spam
-Have all your mages spam scorch. Or take turns being the fireballer

Classic developers try not to make a seemingly simple mechanic incredibly convoluted challenge:

Thanks for the video king

[@Flowy653]

its for era, vanilla patch

Great video, thank you for the info. The portion about the 5th Ignite stack hypothetical 100% increase, was that just to highlight the importance of modifying SP for snapshotting, or is there some importance to the 5th stack specifically I didn't pick up? My understanding before this video was that each stack of Ignite matters in the final phatty rolling tick - but it seems like that's only if there were crits along the way in that less than 2sec window you mentioned
You did a great job explaining I just think I'm having trouble understanding. Thanks again man

[@MrHeyyBrotherr]

I guess the 5th stack matters because ideally you scorch-carry the 5th, I think I get it. Rewatched it, thanks

[@JakeFromTree]

last stack has its modifiers applied to all the stacks. SP makes your crits bigger, but doesnt double dip like % modifiers,so its equally important in all stacks.
5th stack is most important for % modifiers because it double dips and reapplys itself to future ignite ticks.

awesome vid think you could put something that marks this as ERA since sod ignite is different? had a few people referencing this video in a sod discord took a while to explain to them that devs gave us a shit ignite in sod

[@JakeFromTree]

This is a lil cringe of me, but its too funny not to type it.
If someone gets to the end of the video, but they were really only lookin for SoD content, thats good for my view stats LMAO

[@Neferens]

I've thought it's the damage amplifiers of the first Ignite stack that is applied to the whole debuff, rather than the last.
How have you figured this out?

[@JakeFromTree]

Mage discord and a few other places

[@microburn]

Lmao about that comment about trusting mages (from a tank perspective)

[@-Believeinyourself-]

Just more evidence y’all need a new game to play because clearly you optimized the fun out of this one

[@Sam-id5zz]
