Burning damage and EE

Hello,

I search the forum for a while but could not find any answer to this. How does burning dmg interact with EE? My guess is every tick of burning dmg triggers EE but I don't know for sure, anyone knows?

Thanks in advance!

EE is a mini-aura that applies to mobs for as long as they are affected by the status.

it doesn't reapply every tick (in fact burning/poison/dot's don't have "ticks" in PoE) it is just a constant effect that causes any effects on a mob to also affect nearby mobs.

if a mob is burning for 4 seconds, and 2 seconds into the burn another mob walks nearby then both mobs will be burning for the remaining 2 seconds of the burn, or as long as the mob is nearby.

if a 2nd mob leaves the area during the burn duration it immediately stops burning

EE =/= elemental proliferation

I'm not sure about burn mechanic with EE my guess is it applies just on initial hit.

Yes this. Burning damage does not "hit". EE is applied by "hitting" with elemental damage.

So if your mob gets hit with say spark, gets -50 fire resist, and then walks into a patch of burning ground from a fire trap (not get hit by trap activation), the mob will take extra fire damage from burning ground, but the burning ground will not flip the EE.

I would hazard a guess that flipping the EE with say fireball that does not ignite the mob, while the mob has a burning debuff already, that the mob will start taking reduced damage from the existing burn effect. I am not positive about how changing a mobs fire resist affects an existing burn effect.

burning damage does not proc elemental equilibrium. At least, burning damage caused by a crit/ignite/fire trap burning ground. I don't know if skills like incinerate and righteous fire would, although I suspect it wouldn't.

correct. The burning base damage is the same but is then affected by the extra resistance the final damage is altered in consequence with the modified resistance.

incinerate does, it does fire damage on hit, it shoots fire projectiles, and is affected by cast speed, faster projectiles, multi projectiles etc.


Searing bond on the other hand does not trigger EE (but does benefit from -fire resists caused by non-fire damage EE)

Ok so I trigger EE with cold dmg, then fireball that ignites and fireball triggers EE, the burning does not suffer from the fireball triggered EE right? :)

wrong, it does suffer from it because the resistance of the mob is now higher against fire. That said, the BASE damage of the burning will be higher because the resistance of the mob was lower when the fireball first hit.

So EE dont work with Freeze and Shock? Anyone?

Ok I'm getting confused now. Burninig dmg is 4/3 of fireball dmg, if fireball dmg does 100 dmg burning dmg does 125dmg over 4 seconds. Question is, if mob fire res after fireball hits increases because of EE, will burning dmg still do 125dmg over 4 seconds or will burning dmg decrease because mob fire res increased?
