Burning refers to any fire damage over time effect.
Mechanics
There are several sources of burning, for example:
- Ignite
- Burning ground (
Fire Trap, 
Flame Dash, etc.) - Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Righteous Fire". Please choose only one of the following ids:
MonsterRighteousFireWhileSpectred - Deals 1.6 Base Fire Damage per second (page)
MonsterRighteousFire - Deals 1.8 Base Fire Damage per second (page) 
Searing Bond- Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Scorching Ray". Please choose only one of the following ids:

Herald of Ash
Different sources of burning damage stack cumulatively, but multiple applications from the same source do not. For example, two Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Spell Totem" linked with Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Righteous Fire". Please choose only one of the following ids:
MonsterRighteousFireWhileSpectred - Deals 1.6 Base Fire Damage per second (page)
MonsterRighteousFire - Deals 1.8 Base Fire Damage per second (page) will not double the burn damage, however a Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Spell Totem" linked with Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Righteous Fire". Please choose only one of the following ids:
MonsterRighteousFireWhileSpectred - Deals 1.6 Base Fire Damage per second (page)
MonsterRighteousFire - Deals 1.8 Base Fire Damage per second (page) together with a Searing Bond totem will stack with each other.
Stacking rules for buffs, debuffs or other effects are defined in terms of that specific buff, debuff or effect interacting with other applications of the same effect, not with other ones that are similar.[1]
All burning effects will remain present on the target until they have run their course, but for each source, only the one with the highest damage per second will cause damage at any given moment. Humanoids, Monkeys and Snakes will flee while burning.[2]
As a damage over time effect, burning damage itself is not a hit and cannot benefit from effects that require a hit, such as Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Fire Penetration" (but not reduced elemental resistances), added damage, leech, and so forth.
Burning damage can be increased by the Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Increased Burning Damage" support gem, the 
Despair curse, and the following types of passive nodes:
- Damage
- Damage over Time
- Elemental Damage
- Fire Damage
- Burning Damage
It is important to note that Burning and Ignite are not directly synonymous. Ignite is an elemental ailment which deals fire damage over time and is applied from hits with fire damage. All fire DoT effects are burning damage, but not all of them are ignite. This is a key point when considering buffs and supports such as Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Elemental Focus", which prohibits any elemental status ailment with the linked skill. However since burning damage itself is not an ailment, this support can be used to increase the damage of burning damage for skills that deal burns without igniting, such as Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Scorching Ray". Please choose only one of the following ids:
FireBeam - Deals (11.7-439.4) Base Fire Damage per second, Base duration is 1.5 seconds, Additional Debuff stages add 60% of Damage, Burning Debuff can have a maximum of 8 stages, Fire Exposure applies -25% to Fire Resistance, Modifiers to Spell Damage apply to this Skill's Damage Over Time effect (page)
