I can't find information about this anywhere, no matter where I search. Anyone happen to know? Maybe somehow give shock nova 100% chance to poison and hit a mob?

Shock Nova is looking like it might have the highest base damage for the sake of Ignite that doesn't have a steep conditional.

Yes, the ring hits, then the full area hits. unless things teleport, stuff hit by the ring will also be hit by the larger full-area hit

The reason I ask is because the wiki has this graphic explaining areas where an enemy gets hit for 200% of base damage, from when the skill used to do less damage with the pulse than the ring.

Do you have a clip, a thread, or anything to back up that Shock Nova is a two-hit skill?

I wrote the code.
