Flammability
Flammability is a DebuffDebuffsDebuffs are negative effects that deal damage or penalise an entity's stats, either for a set duration or when a condition is met. Unless otherwise stated, Debuffs of the same type do not stack — only the copy with the strongest effect applies. that provides the chance for HitsHit DamageAny damage that isn't damage over time is Hit damage. Damaging Ailments which result from a Hit will calculate their damage from that Hit, and will not subsequently have Damage modifiers applied directly to them. As a result of this, raising Hit Damage will result in more powerful Damaging Ailments innately. to 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. the target.

ContributesDamage Contributing to AilmentsBy default, specific Ailments are calculated based on only specific damage types, such as only the Fire damage of a Hit mattering when inflicting Ignite. Allowing another damage type to contribute to an Ailment means that all damage of the relevant types is summed when performing calculations for that Ailment. For Ailments that use Hit damage to determine Ailment chance or buildup, this means that the damage type becomes capable of inflicting that Ailment. For Ailments that only use Hit damage to determine Ailment Magnitude (i.e. Bleeding and Poison), you still need a way to apply those Ailments (e.g. a source of Bleeding or Poison chance). to the MagnitudeBuff/Debuff MagnitudeThe Magnitudes of a Buff or Debuff are the values of the stats it applies to the target. A Buff or Debuff with higher magnitudes is more powerful. Modifiers to the Magnitude of Buffs or Debuffs come from whoever applies it and are multiplicative with modifiers to the Effect the Buff or Debuff has on the target. of Flammability, so HitsHit DamageAny damage that isn't damage over time is Hit damage.
