'''Volatility Blaze''' is a [[support gem]] that causes [[melee]] [[attack]]s to have an increased chance to [[ignite]] and deal more damage with ignite per ignite inflicted with that skill, but deals less damage at baseline.

This gem synergizes with attacks or weapons with high damage variance, such as {{il|Elemental Hit}}, {{sl|Doryani's Touch}}, {{il|Voltaxic Rift}}, or {{il|Echoforge}}, as well as the [[Lucky]] mechanic (e.g. {{psl|Dance with Death}}, {{il|Voice of the Storm}}).
{{c|mod|Supported Skills deal #% more Maximum Attack Damage}} and {{c|mod|Supported Skills deal #% less Minimum Attack Damage}}, despite containing the terminology "attack damage", actually apply to the [[Damage_effectiveness|base and added damage]] of the skill<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8HKtdrHJk4</ref>, not the damage range after hit damage multipliers. Accordingly, this modifier affects both [[hit]] damage and [[damage over time]] from damaging [[ailment]]s.
Similar stats (e.g. {{il|Ryslatha's Coil}}) apply multiplicatively. Level 20 Volatility combined with a 20% [[Catalyst|attack quality]] Ryslatha's Coil with 40/30 damage rolls results in a 2.34x multiplier to maximum flat physical damage, and 0.2x multiplier to minimum physical damage.
This support synergizes with attacks or weapons with high base damage variance:
* {{il|Elemental Hit}}
* {{il|Energy Blade}}
* {{il|Voltaxic Rift}}
* {{il|Essentia Sanguis}}
* {{il|Ephemeral Edge}}
* {{il|Hyaon's Fury}}
* {{il|Hand of Wisdom and Action}}
* {{il|Hand of Thought and Motion}}
* Int-stacking [[wand]]s
* {{sl|Doryani's Touch}}
* {{il|Replica Alberon's Warpath}}
In addition to increasing the average damage of high-variance rolls, high hit damage may also be favorable for mechanics such as non-damaging [[ailment]]s, [[stun]], or {{il|Cruelty Support}}.
This also is effective for increasing the high-end damage for the purpose of non-poison ailments like [[ignite]], [[chill]], [[shock]], and [[bleeding]], as well as [[stun]].
High variance also synergizes with the [[Lucky]] mechanic (e.g. {{psl|Dance with Death}}, {{il|Voice of the Storm}}). Note that only [[hit]]s can be lucky; ailments applied by lucky hits are not affected and are derived from the initial base damage.

Volatility Support is a support gem that increases the damage variance of attack skills. It also grants increased damage in general.
Supported Skills deal #% more Maximum Attack Damage and Supported Skills deal #% less Minimum Attack Damage, despite containing the terminology "attack damage", actually apply to the base and added damage of the skill[1], not the damage range after hit damage multipliers. Accordingly, this modifier affects both hit damage and damage over time from damaging ailments.

Level 20 Volatility combined with a 20% attack quality Ryslatha's Coil with 40/30 damage rolls results in a 2.34x multiplier to maximum flat physical damage, and 0.2x multiplier to minimum physical damage.

It will avoid choosing the same element twice in a row.(18-391) to (33-726) Added Cold Damage (22-480) to (40-891) Added Fire Damage (3-75) to (67-1467) Added Lightning Damage Only Deals Damage of the chosen Element Deals no Damage of other Damage Types (30-49)% chance to Freeze, Shock and Ignite Base radius is 1 metre 80% more Area Radius against Enemies affected by an Ailment of the chosen Element 10% more Damage per Elemental Ailment on the Enemy
