Burning

For the basic passive, see Burning Damage (passive skill).

Burning is a fire damage over time effect caused by a number of sources:

• Ignite

Different sources of burning damage stack cumulatively, but multiple applications from the same source do not. All burning effects will remain present on the target until they have run their course, but for each source, only the one with the highest damage per second will cause damage at any given moment. The exception to this rule is Searing Bond, which allows any number of beams to cause damage to a target simultaneously.

As a degeneration effect, Burning does not benefit from any support skill which requires a hit. This includes , , , Added X damage, , and others.

Burning damage can be increased by the support gem, the curse and a number of passive nodes.
