[2019] Tempered by War bugged? Self ignite build without Eye of Innocence.


Original Post — Direct link

It's end of league shenanigans time so I thought, why not build a burning Chieftain.

I stacked a 75% chance to be ignited on my Charakter with two Mokou's Embrace Rings and the Sunspite Boots. Despite having the Tempered by War Keystone which converts part of the cold and lightning damage taken to fire and standing smack in the middle of mobs capable of dealing cold and lightning damage in fast intervals, I do not get ignited by it.

Afaik, there is no minimal fire damage you have to take to be ignited.

I do have a Glitterdisc equipped, but the 25% chance to avoid fire damage from hits should hardly avoid all the potential fire damage taken.

Am I missing something to make this work?

When you ignite something, the ignite damage is calculated from your base/added damage, and then applied to the enemy. The same is true in reverse. You taking the damage from the hit as a different type doesn't change the fact that when the monster calculated the hit it had no damage that could ignite, and thus calcualted 0 ignite damage.

Speaking of Glitterdisc, you don't get ignited while wielding Glitterdisc and turning on Righteous fire - is this intended? From the wording "You always ignite while burning" and the fact that RF deals fire damage over time it would seem RF should apply ignite with Glitterdisc equipped

Sorry for hijacking the thread, thought it was kinda related. Whether you decide to answer or not, I just want to say I greatly appreciate you taking the time to elucidate mechanics. I've read more from you than announcements and lore combined lol. Seriously, thanks!

Ignite can only be applied on hit. Righteous Fire does not hit you (or anything else for that matter).

Righteous Fire does apply burning to you, which means you'll always ignite when hitting enemies with any fire damage in the hit (or other damage types if you get stats that allow them to ignite).
