Affected By Action Speed

This version has a shorter duration and lacks the [Enhanced] effect of the regular version, so it will launch enemies away on the final hit.
Hits which inflict stacks of Fire Stigma include both hits from the skill casting itself and any subsequent hit by the buffed blade.
Unlike normal applications of Fire Stigma which have a 0.5 Second Reactivation Cooldown, [Mod] Infernal Blade has no such limitation and will apply additional stacks on every hit.
[Mod] Infernal Blade's Fire Stigma application runs concurrently with the Fire Stigma passive, allowing you to apply 2 stacks in one hit while the passive is not on cooldown.
The defense pierce effect reduces the percentage value of defense, rather than the numeric value like most similar effects. This means it is much better than defense ignore at the same value, especially for high defense content.
- The Annihilation Mode bonus is additive to this effect.
- The defense pierce effect itself is limited to 80%, regardless of the Fire Elemental Resistance buffs applied to you. However, Fire Resistance Decrease debuffs will affect the value accordingly.
