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 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.
Ignite is a damaging ailment that deals fire damage over time.
Mechanics
Ignite deals 20% of a hit's fire damage dealt (before mitigation and damage taken modifiers) as fire damage over time for 4 seconds. This percentage is affected multiplicatively by ailment effect/magnitude. Ailment damage cannot be scaled directly; however, it can be indirectly scaled by modifying the hit damage.
Ignite does not stack; each instance of ignite has an independent duration and only the highest damage instance of ignite will deal damage.
The chance to apply ignite depends on the amount of pre-mitigation damage dealt relative to the monster's ailment threshold. It is a base of 25% chance to apply per 100% of ailment threshold the hit deals.[1] Critical strikes do not inherently always apply ailments, but they do indirectly affect the chance to apply ailments due to critical damage bonus affecting the damage dealt.
Ignite does not double-dip on enemy resistance. Ignite is applied before resistance is calculated for the igniting hit, then resistance is applied to both the hit and the ignite separately.
