Fire converted exsanguinate DoT does not benefit from fire DoT modifiers

I am referring to the crucible node that converts 100% physical to fire for exsanguinate and reap, while also converting their DoTs to fire. Fire damage over time multipliers, increases, or burning increases, whether from the skill tree or from items, do not affect the DPS. Haven't tested reap, but it could have the same problem. This effect in consistent between in-game and PoB.

Given that brutality no longer works with converted exsanguinate, it would be lovely to have burning support work with it instead. Would it not be the only fire DoT that does not benefit from burning modifiers?

Poewiki states that "Burning refers to any fire damage over time effect."

Getting that crucible node is tedious(in ruthless at least), and there was no indication that it would work this poorly with a fire dot build.

Does it specifically say the damage over time is converted to fire? Under normal circumstances damage over time is not affected by conversion.
Yes. If you want to see it, the only way for now that I know of is to search for exsanguinate on poetrade; there is only one result for crucible traits, which is this one.

"Exsanguinate debuffs deal Fire Damage per second instead of Physical Damage per second
Reap debuffs deal Fire Damage per second instead of Physical Damage per second"
Not sure if this is allowed for bug reports, but

Bump
It is, you can bump any thread once per 24 hours. And you don't have to "bump" it either by typing out the word. Just hit the B button under your name on the right hand side that's next to the Q and PM buttons.

Thank you for your feedback!

However, the B button is missing on this thread for me. After a couple of searches, I noticed that I am most likely not the only person affected by this.

Hopefully, this issue will be noticed and bumps will no longer be required.
Only the hit part is technically converted here.

To clarify - this is not a conversion, but an unprecedented mechanic that transforms the damage type of DoT. Damage conversion can't do that.

Can you check if the fire DoT damage is affected by physical damage over time modifiers (increase, more, multiplier)?
is this working correctly now?

edit - im going to assume no, since elemental focus does not increase fire dot despite it not being an ailment

I tested it a few days after the last post, and it was fixed, at least in PoB.

I also just tested elemental focus, and it increases both the hit damage and DoT. It may be the case that the in-game tooltip does not take the crucible conversion into account.
