Issue Description (Required):

This report concerns the Battle Wizard talent Lingering Flames.

Test conditions:

650 Hero Power

No Power vs properties

Target: no-AI Rat Ogre (4000 HP)

With Lingering Flames active:

• Staff burn sources (Conflagration, Fireball, Beam shotgun, Coruscation full charge) average ~8 DPS.
• Melee heavy attack 1 burn (multiple melee weapons tested) averages ~12 DPS.

This results in approximately 50% higher sustained Lingering burn DPS from melee compared to staff sources under identical conditions.

Please confirm whether it is intended that Lingering Flames preserves distinct burn damage profiles resulting in this DPS difference between melee and staff sources.

Also spoke to our designer about this, and they said they can see there being a difference between melee and ranged burns because applying melee is theoretically harder; but we’ll do a pass on this in the future and look into things properly. Thanks for the report!
