Burning refers to any fire damage over time effect.

Mechanics

There are several sources of burning, for example:

  • Ignite
  • Burning ground (Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Fire Trap", Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Flame Dash", etc.)
  • Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Righteous Fire"
  • Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Searing Bond"
  • Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Scorching Ray"
  • Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Herald of Ash"

Different sources of burning damage stack cumulatively, but multiple applications from the same source do not. For example, two Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Spell Totem" linked with Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Righteous Fire" will not double the burn damage, however a Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Spell Totem" linked with Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Righteous Fire" together with a Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Searing Bond" totem will stack with each other.
Stacking rules for buffs, debuffs or other effects are defined in terms of that specific buff, debuff or effect interacting with other applications of the same effect, not with other ones that are similar.[1]

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. Humanoids, Monkeys and Snakes will flee while burning.[2]

As a damage over time effect, burning damage itself is not a hit and cannot benefit from effects that require a hit, such as Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Fire Penetration" (but not reduced elemental resistances), added damage, leech, and so forth.

support gem, the Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Despair" curse, and the following types of passive nodes:

  • Damage
  • Damage over Time
  • Elemental Damage
  • Fire Damage
  • Burning Damage

It is important to note that Burning and Ignite are not directly synonymous. Ignite is an elemental ailment which deals fire damage over time and is applied from hits with fire damage. All fire DoT effects are burning damage, but not all of them are ignite. This is a key point when considering buffs and supports such as Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Elemental Focus", which prohibits any elemental status ailment with the linked skill. However since burning damage itself is not an ailment, this support can be used to increase the damage of burning damage for skills that deal burns without igniting, such as Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Scorching Ray", Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Righteous Fire", and Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Searing Bond".
