The ignis and embolist are simply the opposite of a sniper rifle, exchanging large damage to a single target to low damage to many targets. The more enemies you hit, the more effective it becomes; when modded with blast you effectively increase the status chance of the blast the more enemies you hit at once, and when close enough will knock down many enemies at once.
