With the launch of Episode: Revenant, there was a change made to ignitions that significantly nerfs their effectiveness when proc'd repeatedly. This nerf/bug makes ignitions done shortly after another ignition do 40% of the damage of the previous ignition. This reduction in damage stacks until the 5th consecutive ignition, which does 2.5% of the damage of the first ignition. The reduction seems to work on an internal cooldown, where the player who causes the ignitions is put on a hidden timer. If they cause an ignition before this timer is fully waited out, they are affected by the damage reduction. I was curious if this is an intended change that went unmentioned in the patch notes, or if it's a bug.
The video showcases the nerf/bug on Titan using Consecration and on Warlock using Song of Flame.

Not sure when bungie will fix this but it is quite annoying and nullifies all my main builds. I was wondering why contest was so hard for no reason, then I tried to solo the dungeon and saw I was doing 800 damage on ignitions and got super confused. Glad this post is here.
