Searing Strike and Kindling.

Does the 33%-66% bonus damage on Kindling give no bonus to the burning of Searing Strike? Before I gave a point to Kindling, Searing Strike did 55 burning, and after I gave a point to Kindling, it is still 55. Is it bugged or doesn't the tooltip update?

✭✭✭✭Kindling only applies to the "burning effect". So if you have a weapon or attack that does fire damage it has a chance to apply a "burning effect" and kindling will increase that damage. Searing Strike adds a unique dot.
However the tool tip could be taken two ways, either literally referring to what is known as a "burning effect" or loosely to what would be considered burning. This came up in beta and we all assumed they meant the specific "burning effect". Though it could be possible they mean it more broadly.Edited by Armitas on 6 May 2014 16:06Retired.

So what, precisely, are the abilities that give the very specific "burning effect"?0 -

Searing strike for one. It doesn't apply to the initial attack damage, but it does apply to the DoT that gets applied by that skill. Pretty sure DK Standard and Magma armor are affected by this as well. Those are the ones off the top of my head - but I expect it applies to any fire DoT's.Kindling only applies to the "burning effect".

It does not change the tooltip on the firebreath ability, which you would think would be the most obviously affected DK ability. If this only applies to weapon procs, that needs to be made much more clear in the passive's text.0

KoooZ✭✭How about Inferno, ash cloud morph cinder storm, magma armor, or dark talons?
I figured it would only work when the skill "target takes fire damage over x seconds".
But if it works for standard and not fiery breath I dunno what to think.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Any fire damage you do has a chance to apply burning to the enemy, which is basically a dot.
