Added Fire Damage Support Gem no longer triggering for any connected skills

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!

I was using the Added Fire Damage Support Gem for Ground Slam and it was triggering quite often but now it doesn't trigger at all. I am fairly sure they are connected correctly and I can't see any requirements for either the skill or support gem that I am failing to meet. Anyone know why it is no longer triggering?

What do you mean by "triggering"? Added Fire Damage Support simply adds fire damage to the linked skill.

Sorry - to be more specific when I first linked the support gem the ground slam animation was changed and glowed with fire and embers and burned ignited enemies. Now that animation and damage affect never triggers.

You're going to have to unhide your characters and tell us which one before anyone can help you. If I were to guess though, you probably took Ancestral Bond on the passive tree.

Apologies - is my character visible now? It is the Marauder named bumstump.

You don't have anything that would prevent the support from working. When you hover over the skill icon in-game, does it say you are doing both physical and fire damage? If so, it is working.

I assume the view you are speaking to is under the skill tab and the stats listed there? It does state that my main hand fire damage is 16-35. Thanks for your help - two follow up questions if you have the time.

Should the animation be changed to display fire damage?

Should all enemies I hit be ignited?

Ahh so you are referring likely to the ignite animation. Ignite is an ailment that can proc one of two ways: 1) Either you have ignite chance in which every hit including fire damage you land rolls that chance to ignite (you start with 0 ignite chance btw) or 2) You land a crit that includes fire damage (there are ways to ignite w/ non-fire damage but for the sake of keeping things simple, let's pretend there aren't for now). So the likely explanation for what is happening is that your crit chance is super low right now and you have no chance to ignite. Therefore, you are only seeing that animation whenever you happen to land a crit. That is RNG and therefore it will seem inconsistent right now.

I think that is it! Thank you so much for your help!
