"Applies 2 stacks of damage over time effects instead of 1."
Synergies
The Torch synergizes well with any item or affixe that spreads oil .
Damage over time stacks that are applied directly by this weapon are buffed by the Point Blank mutation.
Notes
"Extra damage to status effect" affixes apply to the weapon's attacks as well as the inflicted burn status.
The Torch is functionally a melee version of Firebrands, but does much more damage. This damage isn't enough to compete with other melee weapons, so the Torch is best used as a support weapon to inflict burn enemies. Therefore, it is not advisable to use both together, as they are more suited to support other weapons.
