Ignite Explained

Add to Watchlist

Ignite is a Skill Tag in Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2). Read on to learn what skills and gems that have the Ignite tag, the affixes, Uniques, and what Ignite is!

What is Ignite?

Ignite In-Game Description

Ignite is an Ailment that deals Fire damage over time, and lasts for 4 seconds by default.

Fire damage from Hits Contributes to both the chance to Ignite and the Magnitude of Ignite, so Hits dealing more Fire damage Ignite more often, and inflict stronger Ignites. By default a Hit has 1% chance to Ignite for every 4% of the target's Ailment Threshold dealt.

The base Magnitude of Ignite is Fire damage per second equal to 20% of the Fire damage dealt by the Hit that inflicted it. This is calculated using the final damage dealt by the Hit, but not any modifiers on the target that affect how much damage they will take from the Hit. This maginitude is not further affected by any modifiers to the damage you deal.

Modifiers and Debuffs that affect the enemy's ability to mitigate damage (Such as Shock) can affect the damage the enemy takes from Ignite, but any such modifiersthat specifically apply to Hit damage (such as Penetration) do not affect Ignite damage.
