I was testing to see if it makes a difference in damage when I use burning barrage if I do not have searing arrows on autocast. I then noticed that if you are close by to the target, there is not difference in damage with searing arrows on/off.
But once you move away, the damage with searing arrows on is higher (similar to the damage when you are close) that the damage with searing arrows off.
In the video:
Close Range – Searing Arrows On – Total Damage = 1669.50
Long Range – Searing Arrows On – Total Damage = 1668.60
Close Range – Searing Arrows Off – Total Damage = 1673.10
Long Range – Searing Arrows Off – Total Damage (trial 1) = 1533.60
Long Range – Searing Arrows Off – Total Damage (trial 2) = 1532.70
Long Range – Searing Arrows Off – Total Damage (trial 3) = 1539.00
Long Range – Searing Arrows Off – Total Damage (trial 4) = 1523.70
(The DPS is also proportional to the total damage)
I know it's like minimal damage but does anyone know why?
