I see many more viper strike builds popping up soon

I see fewer, unless they buff the base. You don't get any %increased chaos damage nodes :'(

does this mean that ignite now scales quadratically with increased fire damage?

No. This is more important for things like Fire Trap, I would expect.

For example, "increased fire damage" modifiers will apply to fire damage over time.

Ya that's a little weird as he says "fire damage over time" and not 'burning damage'. Fire builds will become way to powerful if fire damage over time and burning damage are in fact the same thing.

Does crit effect DOT?

So fireball for example, a 100% increased fire damage will double the base damage of the fireball, AND double the burning damage of ignite?

So instead of 50 base fireball with 100% increasted fire damage igniting(non crit) turning into, 100 + 133(over 4 seconds)

It'll be 100 + 266(over 4 seconds)?

i dont understand that - is that mean that increased burning dmg and increased fire dmg effect together when ignite an enemy?

Modifiers based on how the damage is dealt will apply as appropriate - for example, increased area damage and increased projectile damage will both apply to the poison clouds from Poison Arrow, as it fills an area and is an effect of a projectile.

I predict this will cause a lot of confusion. Since when are clouds considered projectiles? Who thinks that's "appropriate," and what do they think that word means?

I agree. It seems completely arbitrary, not "appropriate".

If you GGG finally decide to add player based game shops for their items, that would be a very good source of micro transactions.
