My problems with Infernal Legion.

I’m still not in yellow tier maps yet but it seems to do all right for me. You can only scale the damage so far directly but you can also scale it on the other end by debuffing the enemies. I’m cursing flammability (vial ball lightning to proc EE), running Malevolence, and using elemental army on a different minion to apply exposure. So at my gem levels not counting curse effect, that’s -43 res from curse, -50 res from EE, -10 res from exposure = -103 fire resist and 20% more dot from Malevolence. My build is still a work in progress but at the very least, it adds a good amount of damage while other minions are dpsing. I’ll have to see how well it works in higher tier maps. I don’t think ithe gem can be a whole build, but it can be a good part of one.

Great way to scale, just one problem, that kind of scaling works for any other damage type as well.
Let's say you run RF, just because you would use the same curses, your dps would still be a lot higher than what you are doing right now.
Yes, that scaling works for a bit, but it also works for any other build, which would make a stronger skill/support without the curses still be a stronger skill/support with the curses.

So you tested Increased Burning, Elemental Focus, Swift Affliction with SRS/Minions? Also gimping Elemental/Fire Res should also scale it.

Other than the life scaling everything that scales RF/DOT should scale the burning on IL Support..

Ill be finding out this weekend when i remake my Bloodbond Necro... Pretty sure that's the way to go.
There is a fine line between Consideration and Hesitation.
The former is Wisdom, the latter is Fear.

Cursing and debuffing the enemy is something every build can do, so it is kind of pointless to bring up as a point for damage scaling for this.
Other than that, yes you can scale it with support gems, but the question is 'why should you?'. You could also just buff the minions themselves and they can scale by using the skill tree and your talent points, BL can not.

Yeah just abandon the build... its beyond you. But thank you for the ideas. Just did some testing last night and this morning and not only are all those ways scaling it but the damage is pretty fucking nuts if you actually know how to make a build around this.

You just proved with your reply to me you didn't even remotely try to scale or properly support and use this skill. Hell you didn't even as much as take a hint from anything i said. Stick to following build guides..

Decay does 843 non-stackable chaos DoT. Infernal Legion does 1316 non-stackable fire DoT at some cost. Not bad for scalable support gem. Why it should be able to clear any content by itself? It's just a support.
If you can scale it with minion damage & co, then it's quite good damage, it's about half of RF assuming ~8k buffer, only without all the drawbacks + the benefits of minionsplosions.

I had not carefully checked the values, but depending on how you can scale it, it does not seem bad.
SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.
