[b38] Burning

#1 Post by areacode212 »

If I (an archmage) cast Flame on a monster, it should burn for 3 turns, right? But on the last turn, even though it says "Burning (1)" on the popup when I hover, it doesn't burn and just stops burning on the next turn..

DoT effects do not apply damage on the turn they end. This may or may not be an actual bug, I'm not sure.

A burning effect does deals damage as many times as it says duration is, but it's offset 1 from how many turns it says the duration left is. If you check the combat log when you first cast Flame, it should say something like "[Player] deals 50 fire, 25 fire damage to [monster] (total 75)" - the second damage amount is the first tick of burning.
