Looking at the new warlock ghost flame nodes, there is one that says 200% of your global ignite/damned chance per second is added as chance per second on ghost flame. Does that include only “100% ignite chance” like on a weapon, or does something like “100% ignite chance with fire skills” work? I wouldn’t think so because the word global but if it does there’s going to be some wild ailment builds for warlock.

Thanks!

Global means everywhere, ignite chance with fire skills doesn't give ignite chance to non-fire skills, not global.

Hey Eki,

I have a follow up on this as I am trying to cook up a witchfire build. I didn’t notice when asking previously that the grimhilde’s domain passive reads “more damage per global chance to ignite with fire skills” as opposed to the flames of misery passive for ghost flame that reads “a portion of global ignite chance on hit now applies as chance per second”.

My question is let’s say I have 100 global ignite on a weapon, calamity which is 150 ignite on fire hit, and soulfire which is 160% chance to ignite on hit with fire and necro skills.

When using grimhildes, would all three of those add up to 410 and then give me the corresponding damage? or does the fact that soulfire is fire and necro skills make it technically not the same stat?

And then if I understand you correctly from your previous response, for flames of misery, we only take the 100 from the weapon because flames doesn’t respect the “with fire skills” or the “with fire and necro skills” tag? There is also Ignivars head which i think is global ignite while channeling, so I would that work? Or does the “while channeling” make it not global.

Extremely excited for 1.0 and can’t wait to see what this game looks like in a year!

here is a good litmus test if it's global ignite chance: Does it apply to basic attack, base fireball, basic bow attack and base hammer throw?

to see if grimhildes applies the stat to a skill use this check: Does it have the fire tag?

So since calamity and soulfire don't work on basic attack and soulfire has the fire tag then 100 global ignite chance from your weapon applies.

Ah okay flames and global in general makes total sense. As far as grimhildes with the 4 uniques I mentioned, since the witchfire applies from ignite/damned overload proliferation and from hits, would the ones from ignite/damned overload prolif have lower damage than the ones from ghostflame, due to the ghostflame applications having the additional chance from fire skills and channeling during calculation? I thought the node was just checking what the stat in your character sheet giving the damage boost all the time.

I haven't gone to double check so I could be wrong but from the wording you put, the above guidelines work. If it only cares about global, chance for fire skills isn't global.
