Hello GGG balance team, (if it exists)


Thank you for listening to some of my suggestions,
I saw mathil plays 4.0 during Exilecon and i saw the changes to burning arrow


it now has:
100% physical to fire conversion (thank you)
%more damage with ignite has been remove (i dont like this)


but u added:
a debuff that burns the target for 30% of ignite damage that can stack up to 5 times (i like this)


overall:
i dont think this has been buffed at all, its pretty much the same as before

in 3.9, we will now have to stack 2 normal ignites (using sudden ignition jewel) together with 5 debuff stack

so in total:
5 debuff stack = 150% of the ignite damage
2 ignite stack = 200% of ignite damage
for a total of 350% of the ignite damage


but the thing about ignite builds is:
its a "hit once, hit hard" play style
not a "spammy" play style


i was hoping to start with burning arrow for metamorph league,
but seeing this change, fireball ignite will still be the king of ignite builds

I understand the Fire Damage over Time Multiplier, but why cold?

Chaos would be an option though.

Opens up more options for GGG to add skills at some point in the future. Such as a cold DoT arrow skill, because why not?
