What platform are you running Path of Building on?

Windows

What is the value from the calculation in-game?

As per the description of the gem "The burn inflicted by this skill can only be affected by modifiers to damage over time (burning damage is damage over time)."

PoB is both including modifiers to fire damage and global damage (possibly elemental?)

My assumption here is that, PoB has Herald of ash working like ignite (which scales with global and fire damage).

This is NOT correct for herald of ash because if they scaled with those mods then they would double dip with the overkill damage which has normal hit scaling, unlike ignite. I belive the gem has the exclusion for this reason, to stop the double diping.

I'm unsure about support gems with fire/global/elemental damage as these mods would technically not double dip. It's also a little bit hard to test. However it's aparant that fire & global damage are not working as PoB is drastically overstating the, in-game damage.

What is the value from the calculation in Path of Building?

When I have increased global/fire it increases herald of ash (not correct).
