Christmas occurs ~a month from now. I don't know what you people are supposedly celebrating, but it's not Christmas. Just looks like a poor excuse to get wasted and indulge in decadence to me. Is this where my donations go to? Give me the patch.

1.0.2, which is due to be released on November 26, US time.

Ok Chris, I demand an explanation here:

Damage over time is not spell damage, nor attack damage, so modifiers specific to those types will not apply.

Fair enough.

Non-specific "increased damage" modifiers will apply to damage over time. Type-specific modifiers will apply as well. For example, "increased fire damage" modifiers will apply to fire damage over time.

Right, so fire affects burning, and physical affects puncture.

Modifiers based on how the damage is dealt will apply as appropriate - for example, increased area damage and increased projectile damage will both apply to the poison clouds from Poison Arrow, as it fills an area and is an effect of a projectile.

Wait, what?
I get that area damage can increase cloud degeneration (and righteous fire / fire trap for that matter) since the degeneration ITSELF is the area effect.

On that note, does Righteous Fire work with Concentrated Effect now?

But why projectile nodes?
Is this a mistake?
The poison cloud is a side-effect generated by an arrow, but the cloud itself IS NOT an arrow.

For that matter, why wouldn't "attack damage" nodes affect viper strike? after all, it's am ATTACK that is APPLYING a debuff.

Close along the lines, Fire Trap's explosion is a SPELL EFFECT, that's generating BURNING GROUND

2nd bump.
Awaiting replies.
