Damage Contributing to Ailments
By default, specific AilmentsAilmentsAilments are a family of common Debuffs associated with specific damage types. The list of Ailments is: Bleeding, Ignite, Chill, Freeze, Shock, Electrocute, and Poison. are calculated based on only specific damage typesDamage TypesThe damage types are Physical, Fire, Cold, Lightning and Chaos., such as only the FireFire DamageFire damage is one of the five Damage Types. It is reduced by Fire Resistance. Fire Hits inflict Flammability based on how much Fire damage is dealt, which provides a chance to Ignite. damage of a HitHit DamageAny damage that isn't damage over time is Hit damage. Damaging Ailments which result from a Hit will calculate their damage from that Hit, and will not subsequently have Damage modifiers applied directly to them. As a result of this, raising Hit Damage will result in more powerful Damaging Ailments innately. mattering when inflicting IgniteIgniteIgnite is an Ailment that deals Fire damage over time, and lasts for 4 seconds by default. The chance for a Hit to Ignite a target is determined by the total Magnitude of Flammability on the target, including the amount added by that Hit. Fire damage from Hits Contributes to the Magnitude of Ignite, so Hits dealing more Fire damage inflict stronger Ignites. The base Magnitude of Ignite is Fire damage per second equal to 20% of the Fire damage dealt by the Hit that inflicted it. This is calculated using the final damage dealt by the Hit, but not any modifiers on the target that affect how much damage they will take from the Hit. This Magnitude is not further affected by any modifiers to the damage you deal. Modifiers and Debuffs that affect the enemy's ability to mitigate damage (such as Shock) can affect the damage the enemy takes from Ignite, but any such modifiers that specifically apply to Hit damage (such as Penetration) do not affect Ignite damage..

MagnitudeBuff/Debuff MagnitudeThe Magnitudes of a Buff or Debuff are the values of the stats it applies to the target. A Buff or Debuff with higher magnitudes is more powerful. Modifiers to the Magnitude of Buffs or Debuffs come from whoever applies it and are multiplicative with modifiers to the Effect the Buff or Debuff has on the target. (i.e. BleedingBleedingBleeding is an Ailment that deals Physical damage over time, and lasts 5 seconds by default. Damage from Bleeding bypasses Energy Shield Bleeding deals an extra 100% damage while the target is moving, or if the Bleeding is Aggravated. Physical damage from Hits Contributes to Bleeding Magnitude. Damage does not Contribute to Bleeding chance, so it cannot be inflicted without an explicit source of Bleeding chance. The base Magnitude of Bleeding is Physical damage per second equal to 15% of the Pre-mitigation Physical damage of the Hit that inflicted it. This magnitude is not further affected by any modifiers to the damage you deal. Modifiers and Debuffs that affect the enemy's ability to mitigate damage (such as Shock) can affect the damage the enemy takes from Bleeding, but any such modifiers that specifically apply to Hit damage (such as Armour Break) do not affect Bleeding damage. and PoisonPoisonPoison is an Ailment that deals Chaos damage over time, and lasts 2 seconds by default. Damage from Poison bypasses Energy Shield. Physical and Chaos damage from Hits Contribute to Poison Magnitude. Damage does not Contribute to Poison chance, so it cannot be inflicted without an explicit source of Poison chance. The base Magnitude of Poison is Chaos damage per second equal to 20% of the Pre-mitigation Physical and Chaos damage of the Hit that inflicted it. This magnitude is not further affected by any modifiers to the damage you deal. Modifiers and Debuffs that affect the enemy's ability to mitigate damage (such as Shock) can affect the damage the enemy takes from Poison, but any such modifiers that specifically apply to Hit damage (such as Penetration) do not affect Poison damage.), you still need a way to apply those AilmentsAilmentsAilments are a family of common Debuffs associated with specific damage types.
