Elemental Ailments

Elemental AilmentsAilmentsAilments are a family of common Debuffs associated with specific damage types. The list of Ailments is: Bleeding, Ignite, Chill, Freeze, Shock, Electrocute, and Poison. are IgniteIgniteIgnite is an Ailment that deals Fire damage over time, and lasts for 4 seconds by default. The chance for a Hit to Ignite a target is determined by the total Magnitude of Flammability on the target, including the amount added by that Hit. Fire damage from Hits Contributes to the Magnitude of Ignite, so Hits dealing more Fire damage inflict stronger Ignites. 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 Magnitude 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 modifiers that specifically apply to Hit damage (such as Penetration) do not affect Ignite damage., ChillChillChill is an Ailment that Slows the afflicted target, and lasts 2 seconds on players or 8 seconds on non-players by default. Chill Magnitude depends on the Chilling damage dealt relative to the target's Elemental Ailment Threshold, with a minimum of 30% and a default maximum of 50%. Cold damage from Hits can Chill by default, and does not require a chance to inflict Chill. However, Chills smaller than 30% will be ignored, so small Hits can fail to Chill., FreezeFreezeFreeze is an Ailment that causes targets to be unable to move or act, and lasts 4 seconds by default. Cold damage from Hits Contributes to Freeze Buildup on enemies until they become Frozen., ShockShockShock is an Ailment that causes targets to take 20% increased damage, and lasts 4 seconds on players or 8 seconds on non-players by default. Lightning damage from Hits Contributes to chance to Shock enemies. The higher the Lightning damage dealt, the higher the chance. By default a Hit has 1% chance to Shock for every 4% of the target's Ailment Threshold dealt., and ElectrocuteElectrocutionElectrocution is an Ailment that interrupts the target's actions and prevents them performing any action, and lasts 5 seconds by default. Only Lightning damage from Hits with specific skills or effects Contributes to Electrocution Buildup on enemies until they become Electrocuted. Other sources of Lightning damage will not build up towards Electrocution..en
