Cindergaze is one of two paths an Awakened helm can take toward Fire. A seer's gaze: crit vision laced with fire status.
Infusion starts it at +2% Critical Chance and +3% Burn Effect, and by Spirit Level 5 it reads +8% Critical Chance, +15% Burn Effect and +17% Critical Damage.
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.
