Skill functions and interactions

Summon a Reviving Infernal Hound which Ignites enemies near it.

Ignite Aura: Minions Ignite Enemies within a radius of 1.5 metres as though dealt Base Fire Damage equal to 20% of Minion's Maximum Life.

• This is identical to the effect granted by Infernal Legion without the drawback of taking 20% of Maximum Life in Fire Damage per second.
• Summon Infernal Hound can be supported by Infernal Legion, but this grants no additional benefit and adds the side-effect of the Hound taking Fire Damage per second.
• Meat Shield does not decrease the Ignite damage which makes it a highly recommended Support gem.
• The area of effect can be scaled with Magnified Effect and passives that scale Minion Area of Effect.
• Fire Exposure support will cause the Ignite Aura to inflict Fire Exposure on affected enemies.
