Talk:Flamer

When Flamer hits its listed DPS
Theoretically, at 0 seconds: 3/8 damage at .5 seconds: 1/8 dot "tick", 3/8 damage from second impact (for first second, Flamer has done 7/8 of listed damage) at 1 second: 2/8 dot "tick" (two stacks), 3/8 damage from third impact at 1.5 seconds: 3/8 dot "tick" (three stacks), 3/8 damage from fourth impact (after second second, Flamer has done a total of 18/8 of listed damage over 2 seconds, which is 9/8 of listed "damage per second" damage per second).

In other words, after 2 seconds, your average damage per second rate is at least the listed damage per second rate, not after 2.5 seconds.

This seems to be verified by the tests here: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/343/index/14144271/1#14144271
