What ailment has best scaling of bleed ignite and poison

hi i wonder whice ailment has best scaling dmg culden find so much info of there scaling in the game guide

From what I could read on forums and on Discord, the strongest ailment would be bleed.

This highly depends on your character class.

Hereā€™s some general info about ailments:

Poison is the only ailment that increases its damage per stack applied as it reduces poison resistance.

But if youā€™re playing Sentinel you have better support for bleed and ignite. Sentinel is very interesting as you can convert ignite stacks into physical damage with Rive and so buff bleed your bleed damage.

Primalist also has bleed support (Beastmaster / Raptor / Wolves) and poison (Thorn Totems / Scorpion / Serpent Strike).

Rogue has everything from poison to bleed (puncture) and ignite (cinder strike).

Mage hast Ignite and Frostbite.

Acolyte has a lot poison support as well as some bleed and a bit ignite (not very much though). Also theres Damned and Plague as secondary ailments.

Poison has the best theoretical scaling, because itā€™s an infinite amount of shred.

But Poison Only Last 3 seconds. So this means poison has more investment but the ceiling is way higher.

Both Bleed very easily scaleable because it lasts 4 seconds by default.

Ignite has the easiest scaling but doesnā€™t have a high ceiling because it also only lasts 3 seconds. But it has the easiest itemization to scale, since there are alot of affixes to scale it. Namely ā€œfire damageā€, ā€œelemental damageā€, ā€œdamage over timeā€ and most importantly ā€œelemental damage over timeā€.

TL:DR:

  • Poison highest ceiling
  • Ignite easiest accesable and scaleable
  • Bleed is the strongest with low investment

Discord was wrong. Heavy & Not-Heavy#1 are correct.

But if you ignore builds, poison is strongest due to the inherent shred.
