Support Gem Feedback - Fire Penetration - Forum

Thanks guys. Looks like for the sake of burning damage, however, that the curses are still required as it's only the initial hit that applies the -res and not the subsequent burning from crits or ground fire.	Posted by gw_epyon#4535 on Mar 22, 2014, 10:26:35 PM Quote this Post

" Burn (and any damage over time) cannot possibly be affected by penetration. The concept doesn't work - penetration is about how you process being hit by the damage, and DoT never hits anything, it's a constant thing. Penetration is fundamentally about taking X amount of damage as a thing, at a particular point in time. I can't have any interaction with DoT, which is a rate you're constantly taking damage at for a duration. I need some clarification on this. How does Fire Penetration(-35%) interact with Ignite on a 75% Resist monster? A, The Fireskill hits for 60% damage and the burn is 60% * 4/3 B, The Fireskill hits for 60% damage and the burn is 36% * 4/3 I assume its A, but I made this observation which is counterdicting A: When I ignite a non cursed enemy and THEN curse him, the burn is amplified.

After reading through most of the post, I am still a little confused by the interaction of this skill and explosive arrow. I understand that the initial hit will definitely be affected by fire penetration. Will the explosion damage be affected by fire penetration?

The explosion Hits for Fire Damage, so yes. (and even if it didn't deal Fire Damage, it would still apply, but have no practical effect :P ) Last edited by Vipermagi#0984 on Aug 12, 2014, 7:56:22 PM	Posted by Vipermagi#0984 on Aug 12, 2014, 7:56:04 PM Valued Poster Quote this Post

I am wondering how this gem would affect herald of ash? I want to use hoa-ele prol-inc burn dmg--Fire pen. Would fire pen make the initial explosion hit harder thus increasing burn damage? Thanks in advance!	Posted by bigpfeiffer#2533 on Feb 23, 2015, 10:11:29 PM Quote this Post
