As title suggests. Fissure nodes don’t scale with Ele DoT affix, but it does with just regular Damage Over Time. Is this a bug? Fissure has a fire tag on it and damage over time too.
Did you take the passive that converts Smite to void (Temporal Corruption)? That also converts Fissure as well.
No I have no points invested in VK tree.
Weird, when I played it I could swear it was scaling properly but that was a long time ago, let me test it again
Indeed, it doesn’t
Make sure to report it (I will do it too) because it definitely should be

After a bit more testing, it scales only with Spell Dmg(and Dot) .
It doesn’t work with Elemental, Elemental Dot or Fire Dmg.
I am still testing while typing. It works with Phys Dmg.
I think I know what’s going on.
Fissure is a subskill shared by Smite and Avalanche. The base subskill is Phys and Smite is supposed to give it a Fire mutator. It clearly doesn’t. And Smite Fissure is still Physical.

Looking in LEtools, there are two subskills with the same name Fissure. They have different damage effectiveness as well(since the avalanche one is limited to 1). The new Fissure subskill for Avalanche was recently created I think with the Avalanche rework.
I’m guessing Smite is accidentally calling the new Fissure rather than the old fissure like it is supposed to(maybe because they have the same name and it is the newer skill).
This is very good since the old Fissure has awful 24% damage effectiveness and the new one has a decent 100%. There’s probably a good build here where you can use Rive (with pull, flame drinker phys pen and phys damage leech) along with Palarus to proc and stack Smite fissures and keep pulling enemies into it.
Hopefully they legitimize this with the rework.

Maybe it’s not calling the right skill ingame but what I got from my previous chat with Mike was there were the same one but Smite had a Fire mutator to convert it. Anyway not a big deal why it doesn’t work. Lets just hope it get fixed quick.
As to your idea with Palarus Rive, it does sound nice but I would rather spin and get the Fire pen from Warpath
Side node
The Void Conversion works properly
Fire one: https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/fire_fissure 24% dmg effectiveness, super weak, 0.7 sec interval.
Phys one: https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/fissure 100% dmg effectiveness, looks solid, 0.5 sec interval.
We got enough Fire spells, Phys fits more with the look of Fissure IMHO but up to devs.
Lots of odd things here. Fissure skill page that you linked (fire one) is associated w/ smite and says it will deal damage over 5 seconds. But the Fissure node in Smite skill tree says it will last 3 seconds with 0.5s cooldown. So are these really the same skills? Not sure… Thanks folks for looking into it and i hope it gets fixed.
No, they aren’t.
