Is the overkill ignite component based on the fire dmg only? or your total dmg?

Ie, monster is on 10hp
hit with 1000 phys attack
herald adds another 150

overkill dmg = 140? or 990?

990. 1140 (1150 total damage - 10 hp) It's all overkill damage.

Does the ignite respect its source like a normal ignite when it comes to scaling?

Yes

If the Overkilling damage was from a Bear Trap, would the ignite scale with Trap Damage? If the last hit was a Puncture, would the ignite scale with projectile damage? With melee spash; scale with AoE?

No in all cases because the source of the ignite is not the skill that caused the overkill, it's Herald of Ash.

Yeah, I assumed the larger offered answer was all the damage without checking the math. post fixed.

(2) 1k overall ignite damage, applied over 4 seconds?

(3) 1k overall ignite damage, applied as 250 burning damage per second?

These (assuming a level 1 HoA, and thus 100% of overkill dealt as ignite, rather than some other number.

(distinction between 2 and 3 affects decision to take ignite duration nodes)

For the record, it doesn't. A buff or debuff has value(s) and a duration - the two cannot depend on each other. There's no way for the game to do 2 except as 3.

"the burn inflicted by this skill can only be affected by modifiers to damage over time (burning damage is damage over time)"?

Does this mean increase/more burn damage works?

Yes.

Also, what about increase/more fire/elemental damage? Would this work?

No

And if not, why?

Because those aren't modifiers to damage over time.
