Incinerate is a channeling fire spell that launches a torrent of fire from the user's hands, rapidly dealing fire damage. The longer the channel is held, the bigger the damage and area becomes. Releasing the channel launches a wave of fire that deals more fire and ignite damage.

Skill functions and interactions

  • Incinerate gains more damage when cast continuously from one spot, up to a maximum of 200% more damage (25% per stage up to 8 stages maximum, or 10 if you use the helmet enchantment). The next stage is reached after every tick (0.2s). At each stage, the flames become visibly larger and will spread out in a huge cone. If the player is stunned or interrupted in any way while casting incinerate, the spell will come back to stage 1.
  • Damage Effectiveness (channel): The damage effectiveness of Incinerate is a relatively low 50%. However, at the highest stage of Incinerate, flat damage (such as from Herald of Thunder, Herald of Ice, Added Lightning Damage Support, or Added Chaos Damage Support, etc.) is added to Incinerate at 150% their normal values because of the 200% (25% * 8 stages) more damage modifier or 250% with the helmet enchantment.
  • Damage Effectiveness (release): The damage effectiveness of the released final wave (maximum stages) is 900% or 1050% with the enchant.
  • Incinerate cannot be supported by Spell Echo Support.
  • Traps and Mines: This spell can't be supported by traps or mines, because of its Channeling tag.
  • Spell Totem Support: Totems that use Incinerate will automatically release upon reaching maximum stacks or when the enemy they're targeting dies.
