Flame Touched.
Does Flame Touched/Temper increase all relevant damage while active? Is that how it works?

yes. my 3 main skills listed increased in damage. unfortunately, something like Ring of Steel isn't shown for me, so I can't tell unless i dummy it up. Which I did. and Ring of Steel didn't increase with flametouched/temper. only my melee did (screenshots)

Yes. The flat damage of FT/Temper is applied to your weapon damage. Therefore, it also increases damage of any skills with a % Weapon Damage component e.g. FT gives a base 23 flat Fire Damage, which when applied to a skill with say 50% WD would gives that skill 11.5 extra Fire damage. The % damage from the aura is a global buff, meaning it applies to ANY source of that damage type you deal.

Also, if you are using a non-aura skill e.g. Fire Strike, the % Fire damage buffs from the FS skill line will ONLY apply to Fire Strike. EDIT: I should also mention, for future reference, that there are two exceptions to this; Deadly Momentum on the Cadence skill line and Soul Harvest on the Bone Harvest line. Both DM and SH when proc'd give a global buff that gives flat and % damage affects all skills (the flat damage only affects skills with % WD).

fyi the other fire dots shown are from homestead weapon augment voidvine, since RoS used main hand damage.

weird thing though, based on BHB's weapon % statement, shouldn't FT have been applied to RoS? I actually did less damage with FT on, but due to the small difference in delta, it was probably just RNG.
Yes, it would be applied but the % WD and any conversion you have would affect how much of that damage is added.

with FT off, every 3rd RoS struck each dummy twice. with FT on, too many dots to see the numbers easily.

[edit] nvm, some of the fire dots are due to eye of flame helm and that also gives me a 10% chance of fireball, which is probably where the 2nd hit is (I did notice a flaming line shoot off occasionally in the first (unposted) attempts at RoS, when I was standing farther away from the dummies)

ah ok. yeah I took Ring of Frost in my build. I'll remove that. [edit] putting it back on. I'm realizing I'm spread too thin on some points and I'm not synergizing right, so gonna reallocate.

Can I run Stormcallers Pact and Flamed touched at the same time?

Flame touched isn’t an exclusive passive so yes!
