— In-game description

Notes

• Applies the  Fox Passive effect when equipped.
• Although not listed, the duration in which to trigger the additional burning is 15 seconds. Hitting a target with this skill again within that time frame will apply an additional stack of burning for each use, up to a maximum of three stacks.
• Bonus burning is not affected by condition duration.
• Uses 1100 Weapon Strength

Bug:

Burning applied is inconsistent with the skill description. Burning duration depends on number of hits in a 15 second window, but not as expected. First hit applies 2 seconds, second hit applies 0.5 second, third hit applies 1 second. Consecutive hits all apply 1.5 second of burning. This pattern resets if user does not use Ignite within 15 seconds.
