Path of Exile 1 Gameplay Help and Discussion - Fire damage that convert to chaos and burning damage - Forum

Good day, As I saw here at the Fire damage (FD) section: " ...If you land a critical strike with an attack or spell that deals fire damage, the enemy begins Burning... If I`ll use The Consuming Dark and Infernal Mantle 100% of my FD converts to the chaos damage (CD) and there is no FD, beacause " ...the original damage is replaced with the converted damage... so, there is no chance to burn enemy?

...But if I use a Fire trap that " 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... So, the 1st explosion deals converted CD instead of FD and Burning Ground Effect deals basic FD?	Posted by UlrichVonRekkenin#3374 on Oct 19, 2015, 1:01:47 PM Quote this Post
Yes, damage over time can't be converted. Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs. ◄[www.moddb.com/mods/balancedux]► ◄[www.moddb.com/mods/one-vision1]►	Posted by raics#7540 on Oct 19, 2015, 1:03:48 PM Quote this Post
That said, Burning Ground does not deal just Fire Damage, it deals Fire Damage over Time. One key difference (of a few) is that it cannot Ignite.	Posted by Vipermagi#0984 on Oct 19, 2015, 1:59:51 PM Valued Poster Quote this Post
