Combustion is a support gem that grants supported skills that grants more fire damage and chance to ignite the enemy. Enemies ignited by the supported skill have reduced fire resistance.

Skill functions and interactions

The Chance to Ignite an enemy given by this gem is independent of the chance to ignite an enemy as a result of a critical strike. The overall probability that an enemy will be ignited is:

$\pagecolor[RGB]{15,15,15} \color[RGB]{163,141,109} \text{ChanceToIgnite} = 1-(1 - \text{SkillCritChance}) * (1 - \text{SkillIgniteChance})$

It is worth noting that as opposed to chance to critical strike, which is checked once for each cast of the skill, the chance to ignite is checked separately for each individual hit. For instance an explosion from Molten ShellMolten ShellSpell, AoE, Duration, Fire, Physical, Guard
