Emberfang is one of two paths an Awakened dagger can take toward Fire. Quick fire cuts that accelerate into critical tempo.
Infusion starts it at +6% Fire Damage, and by Spirit Level 5 it reads +26% Fire Damage, +13% Attack Speed and +5% Critical Chance.
From Spirit Level 3 the gear starts firing Kindling Eye on its own — Every 5th critical strike ignites the target for 110% of the hit. — the same thing Kindling Eye does from a relic.
Fire builds around Burn and the Ignite payoff.
