Accendo Infinata (really bad latin for "Infinite Ignites") is designed to calculate the expected damage-per-tick and DPS of the Ignite debuff, a Fire Mage talent which adds a DoT to your target whenever you crit with a fire spell.
The damage added to the target is equal to 40% of your crit's damage, but the way the DoT's damage stacks and the tick-times are calculated when you crit twice in a row is rather complicated, so I created the addon to display this information in an easy-to-understand format. This allows Fire Mages to monitor their Ignite DPS, which is important when using the Combustion spell.
Disclaimer
In patch 4.0.1 / 4.0.3, there is a problem with the Ignite mechanic in-game. The spell is supposed to be triggered/refreshed every time your fire spells/DoTs crit, but when two crits occur in a short space of time (<0.25s), the server glitches it's calculations and some Ignite damage is lost. This phenomenon is known as "Ignite Munching", and is better explained on the official forums here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=27387360674&sid=1 Accendo Infinata calculates it's Ignite Tick Damage / DPS based on theoretical figures, which will not match your observed damage if "munching" occurs. Thus the addon will not be accurate before the issue is fixed by Blizzard. Fingers crossed this gets hotfixed in 4.0.3a.Credits
Thanks to all my friends in <Simia Infinata> on Nordrassil (EU-H) putting up with my various moans and rants. Also for letting me steal their naming scheme. Special thanks to Magestick from <Mental> on Nordrassil (EU-H) for coming up with the idea and helping at every stage of design and testing (especially since I don't actually have a Mage to test it myself).The Accendo Infinata Team
