There seems to be a general misunderstanding of how this skill works post-BB, so I'll explain it here.
Skill description:
MP 50 소비, 4초마다 HP와 MP 10%씩 회복, 4초마다 모든 공격 마법의 피해 10%씩 증가, 40초간 지속
"MP cost 50; every 4 seconds, recover 10% hp/mp, damage increase by 10%, for 40 seconds, cooldown: 140 seconds"
The damage increase is what's important here. Contrary to what you might believe, the damage increase is not a fixed 10% throughout the 44 second duration of the buff. For the first 4 seconds, Infinity does nothing. Then, every time you recover hp and mp, your damage also increases by 10%, additively. This results in your damage rising in a slow crescendo over 40 seconds, finally peaking at +100% damage for the last 4 seconds of the buff. That is to say, when the Infinity icon is completely greyed out and flashing, you will be doing double damage. That is why you see Bishops doing consistent 300ks and then a little later, 700ks.
Magic Mastery has an odd effect on Infinity. It extends each buff period, changing all the 4 second durations to 6 seconds. Infinity will last 66 seconds, doing nothing for the first 6 seconds and slowly adding 10% damage every 6 seconds until your damage peaks at double for the last 6 seconds. I do not know what it does to the HP/MP recovery times.
Oh, and the buff can be dispelled.
Hopefully that'll clear up some of the wtp CL HITS DAMAGE CAP concerns.
