If it double dips, that's a bug, such modifiers only apply to the skill base damage. But yeah, the wording is misleading if you try to compare Incinerate and Flameblast.

The stage portion is a generic damage modifier unless it happens to something very exceptional that ignore the game rule then the text is misleading. I always found the generic damage modifier to be the most potent damage type (luckily minion does not benefit from this), so I was surprised when GGG did not include "20% more melee damage for each stage" on the skill text. Lazy writing or oversight?

Edit: Incinerate has similar skill text, but it has drawback of not being able to crit that easily. Should at least be like Flameblast.

Yeah, I know what it says, if we go by logic we'd be right to assume that it also applies to damage over time resulting from the hit, but it supposedly doesn't. Mark confirmed it somewhere so I suppose it's just lazy writing.

this is the issue i see with double dipping. i think double dipping on poison is broken as all get out, however i don't find double dipping on ignites to be OP.

What all you people seem to forget is that 2 out of 4 guardians are immune to poison, so every core poison class (however OP they seem in the rest of the game) have to fight for like 30 minutes to take these bosses down because their main source of damage has zero effect...

I have a high level shadow character that i don't have fun with anymore, some decent CI gear and a Bino's dagger. I could spend some regrets and destroy game content with blade flurry now. But it's so absurdly broken that i feel it would be cheating and that's not fun. Anyone has this feeling too?

P.S. I tried blade flurry with a generic non-poison resolute technique char and it's good but not ridiculously broken, i mean same damage level of other good skills (read lacerate) with slightly faster but more clunky playstyle. what makes the skill broken is the poison stacking, poison need a cap of stacks.

Naw those are fine. Mathil said BF is opaf so it must be opaf. Queue lemmings. Opaf opaf opaf.

Kill BF. Kill it!

What I don't get is the skill is open to everyone. Even if it was op broken, it's still available to everyone. I don't like flask builds so I never put together a BV Pathfinder. Also didn't care it was opaf because I don't care what content others do with what build. But apparently most have this idea that everyone else has to play just like they do. And it's a crime if an op build snuck through because that would untangle this game completely... I can see if a skill is only available to a select few. Kk. That makes sense. Totally. But in a game where everyone is free to use what you're using... push me off a cliff please...
