Damage over time from ailment scaling question

General
1

I just figured out that ailments benefit from increases to the skill that applies the ailment.

Shield rush gets +4% per strength (applies to ignites it applies as well) as well as any “increase damage” that doesnt specify “hit” damage

Question is does added damage effect the ignites damage as well? does +1 fire melee damage affect the ignites applied?

No, flat damage is never added to DoTs. Though some ailments (eg, Torment) have the spell tag so would benefit from +1 spell damage.
