fire trap - searing bond - flame totem - Does all stack?

[mixxo]

As the titel says, will fire trap - searing bond - flame totem stack with each other or is only the highest dmg from fire trap and searing going to count?

[DSideDaemons]

I'm not sure I am understanding the question. These are active skills, not supports. Their mechanics do not stack in any manner.

[mixxo]

I mean does the damage stack. Both will burn from fire trap and searing so will that damage stack? Or is only searing going to deal damage fire trap dmg is lower?

The first line, "Different sources of burning damage stack cumulatively, but multiple applications from the same source do not."

Yes, they should all stack... and when the fire trap crits and ignites the target... that'll stack too.

[mixxo]

Yeah but it also says

"All burning effects will remain present on the target until they have run their course, but for each source, only the one with the highest damage per second will cause damage at any given moment."

Which means that my fire trap will be useless since my searing bond will deal more damgage --> fire trap wont deal any damage at all in other words.

Not according to the wiki

Burning Ground Effect: The burning area left behind after a Fire Trap explosion does not act like other burning damage. It will do fire-based health degeneration damage simultaneously with other burning damage for as long as an enemy is within the radius of the Fire Trap.

Fire damage and burning damage are 2 completely different things.

Fire damage is, damage caused by fire element. Burn is a dot that can be caused by fire damage. You have a chance to burn an enemy each time you apply fire damage.

So searing bond' does fire damage. Flame totem does fire damage. Fire trap does burning damage.

BUT FOR EACH SOURCE .... there you go, read it for you.

Sigh...

Different types of burning damage will stack with each other, but not themselves.

Examples of different types of burning damage:

Ignite (any fire damage crit, or +% chance to ignite, proliferated effect)
Ground Fire (fire trap)
Fire Beams (Searing totems)
Burning Aura (Righteous Fire Aura)

So if you have a Righteous fire aura up and throw a fire trap which crits, the target will be ignited (crit), suffer burning ground damage, and suffer burning damage from the aura.

If you throw a second trap which crits for less, the ignite will be applied, but will not do damage until the first ignite wears off, and the second ground fire will not stack with the first.
