since 3.0 Dot damage are not scale by hit damage
so
what happened when a 100% ignite fireball blocked ?
will hit damage and dot (ignite) damage all blocked or hit damage blocked but ignite still applied

This fireball has a 100% chance to cause ignite when it hits an enemy.

When a skill is blocked, it is not counted as having "hit" the target.

Ignite damage is no longer scaled directly by hit damage, yes, but a skill which ignites still needs to hit in order to apply the ignite.

Blocking is a means of preventing damage from enemy attacks by fending with a shield, staff or dual wielded weapons after Evasion and Dodge has failed.

Viper strike has no more chance to hit the enemy than the default attack - they're literally using the same code for that.
Note that blocking has nothing to do with an attack hitting. If you block viper strike you won't take damage, but were still hit and will still gain a charge.

Bumping, sorry:

If I have Retch, Atziri's Acuity (or another source of instant leech), and Endless Hunger, and I'm at 100% life, and I attack an enemy with a critical strike, will the Retch's "200% of Life Leech applies to Enemies as Chaos Damage" ability trigger (because Endless Hunger lets me continue to leech at 100% life)?

Or does the instant leech cancel Endless Hunger's ability to leech above 100%, meaning that the Retch won't deal any damage?

In 2.6 it worked, but in 3.0 the interaction of Atziri's Acuity and Endless Hunger seems to have changed.

Thanks!
