Best Ascendancy for Fire Damage

7 ascendancies ranked by nodes about fire damage · Path of Exile 2✓ Checked against game files · 0.5.5
InfernalistInfernalistWitch · 2 nodes

Infernalist (Witch) and Smith of Kitava (Warrior) have the most ascendancy nodes about fire damage: 2 each. 7 of 22 ascendancies have at least one such node. Counted: nodes about dealing fire damage, burning and ignite (resistances and damage you take are left out). Patch 0.5.5, from the game files.

A count is not a damage number: one notable can matter more than four small passives, so each row lists the nodes it counts. Pick the ascendancy, then read them. Abyssal Lich is left out: its nodes are in the files but not on this patch's passive tree.
