It's an intelligent change. Winter's Embrace is a magicka skill line so the passive should benefit the people actually using it, instead of people who will arbitrarily level it for one passive.

Yet dk's get a poison and fire aoe version because they do poison and fire.

It's a stupid change.

Err.. what? Those passives only affect skills from those lines, not any aoe.

Come back when you play a DK.

Wow. Quoted for proof of intelligence. Do storm calling passives only increase damage of storm calling skills too?

"Combustion increases the Fire and Poison damage of the active skills in the Ardent Flame skill line. It does not boost damage from other skill lines such as flame staves or skills from Destruction Staff."

That [verification needed] you didnt included in that quote does not really help with the question at hand

Not to mention it is not the AoE passive they were talking about.
Do you even DK

Yes, and keep reading down the list of passives. Then you'll see what the rest of us are talking about.

Power level to CP160 in a week:
Where is the end game? You just played it.
Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
Where is new content? Sigh.

    Would have appreciated the thread if you didn't use it to boost your own ego and call out other forum members.

    In that thread, several of us pointed out that DKs have a passive that boosts AOE flame and poison damage, even on non-DK skills. You said that DKs have no such passive. We pointed out that World in Ruin applies to some bow and destro staff skills (i.e., the AOE ones). You pointed out that Combustion does not apply to to non-DK skills (we never suggested otherwise; all along we were talking about World in Ruin). Your testing has now confirmed exactly what we were trying to get you to understand.

    Thanks for learning how to DK.

    The OP had a childish "I'm right, your wrong" tone to it. That might be what he/she is talking about.

    Ehh, sorry. I took your post to be meant to show how we were wrong and I got all defensive.

    It seems like the bottom line lesson here is that the various passives' tooltips are in fact correct. In true forum fashion, we have demonstrated that with the maximum drama possible. :D
