Fire Mage Ignite Doing Gamebreaking Damage (Patreon)

There are multiple reports that the fire mage ability "ignite" is currently bugged and doing very high dps sporadically.

This seems to be as a result of an interaction between talents as yet unknown, however the reports indicate it is happening fairly regularly. The glass cannon pvp talent is a commonality but is not sufficient by itself to produce glitched damage. 

No one reporting this as yet has stated what the trigger is: they are claiming it simply happens on a random basis. 

So far I have not isolated the trigger and may or may not update this article accordingly.

 Theorycrafters should be aware that fire mages are doing significantly more damage as a result of  recent patch changes and this is not indicative of a bug in itself.
