I have some questions.
I use fire trap gem and i see on gem description: "114 to 171 added fire damage against burning enemies"

I have one gloves with this : "46 to 75 added fire damage against burning enemies"
With gloves and without gloves the damage is same.

My questions are: these are two values (on fire trap and on gloves) not add up? When working these damages?

Thank You for Your help!

Hello, I asked tech support but they redirected me here, also no one exactly knew on reddit:

If a player use the HeavyStrike has a chance to do double Damage ( jewel or helm enchant)

And if a player has a 2h wep with the shaper/elder mod : Has a chande to double damage

Could they stack in anyway ?

You either do Double Damage, or you don't. You can't do Double Damage twice for 4x (or 8x, 16x) more damage.

But if you have 50% chance to do Double Damage from somewhere, and 25% chance to do Double Damage from somewhere else, they will add together for a 75% chance to do Double Damage.

I think the double damage can stack but it depend on the conditions. In this case, the condition is the same (% chance to double damage) so agree with Abdiel_Kavash that those chances are sumed.
But with a weapon like https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Frostbreath, which deal double damage to chilled enemies (different condition), i believe this double damage can stack with other ones.

For Charged Dash, how is the damage for the final wave calculated? Is it just 0.75*(number of stages) more damage, and is it just for hits or also for ailments?
