Like many things in darktide, this is one of those hidden and unexplained things shown in weapon inspection.
So burning intensity is listed under damage as a secondary action.
You would imagine this is how much damage the secondary fire does as a dot. The intensity of a flame right?
Nope, the DoT is under a separate weapon primary category called Burn.
So… what is burning intensity for secondary ability?
The damage of the dot itself is actually not affected by any of the weapon‘s modifiers (it is affected by perks).
Only indirectly through max number of stacks.
Burning intensity might be the direct damage of the flame coming out of your hand (edit: it is not. it looks like it is the tick rate of the direct damage from the charged attack).
The burn stat list the DoT damage per tick with its damage range in inspect. So is that bugged or is that not what it says it is?
Also I dont believe the intensity is that. As it specifically says secondary and not primary.
No it does not.
There are two stats listed:
I think the stats do exactly what they say they do.
You are right about that. I should have looked ingame, before i commented in regard to “burn intensity”.
Since the “burn intensity” value decreases with higher stats, it is probably the tick rate of the direct damage from the secondary attack.
Ah, that was on me for not pointing the part out about the higher stat lower scaling.
Tho it still feels kdd then that the tick rate would be listed under damage and not burn?
Because damage over time application raye sounds a lot like the tick rate right?
Max dot stacks: how many stacks of the dot effect can be applied to the same target
Dot application rate: rate at which stacks of the dot effect are applied to a target
Secondary action burn intensity: rate at which the direct damage of the secondary attack is applied
Damage caused by each tick of the dot is independent of weapon stats (except bonus damage perks).
Damage tick rate of the dot is independent of weapon stats.
