Hi,
I was cruising around getting crystals on Dath from Nightsister slaves... Anyhow, a Nightsister ranger attacked me so I flamed it - no damage... examined and it turned out the nightsister had 100% resists to flame, so I hopped on my bike (which was out still) and drove away to get some more nightsister slaves. A couple of hundred meters away I find some and then out of the blue the Nightsister ranger shows up, with over half it's health gone... so waited some more and killed some slaves, and it died from my DOT as I was allowed to loot it. What gives with that, how can my flame thrower give it a DOT when it has 100% resists?

Well, you should be thankful for that DoT because it's the only thing keeping us active hunting since the Devs decided to give most all high-lvl MOBs high heat resists, or just make then 100% resist to em. Basically, our DoT, to my understanding, does a percentage of the dmg that should have been done initially, then the Battle Fatigue of the target amplifies the dmg- whihc is why we are so great in a prolongued fight. But really, it is the ONLY reason we are still kinda around, lol- and me like burning SBDs.......

Managed to get a big graul with the dot yesterday.
Damned beast.
armor medium
90% heat
90% blast
fortunaletly 55% acid.
Would have been nice if I had a HAR.
I ran like hell! (used suppression fire to slow it)

That's the beauty of Burn DOTs. You can still get a 700 damage health burn on something that's 100% resistant to heat.

DOT streangth is baised on the damage it would do not conidering armor or resistances.
Higher the damage rifle the higher the dot.
Also you stack 4 flames together to have a super DOT.
Think of it like this, a creep might be 100% heat resistant but it is not Burn resistant. (A splash proof watch cant take being doused in watter)
Steel is heat resistant but Burn it hot enuf and it melts and bends.

Actually you can get more than 4 to stick... different flamers dot's also stack... so say you have 4 flamethrowers... (if they are fast enough) you can put 4 dots with each one.. so 4x4 is 16... you can make super DoT's this way.. but you need to be quick... have FS speed (melee was still working for me) and good speed flamers... if you don;t have the extra speed use 3 flamers.. 3x4 as in 12 burns is still good 
you should see 4 commandos work on a sbd this way... i think we would just lose out to 4 knights.. but only just.
The thing ofc not to forget is.. we could never be able to try and put on 16 burns by ourselves lol as we would die.. but this is why we are still useful in group hunts and missions (e.g corvette)

Ok, wait a minute here, you mean to tell me I can stick some flame throwers in my hot keys and then hit with one, then the next and the DOT's stack? If this is so, then ya hooooo, what a great way to go... I always carry two flamers with me just in case... this could change everything for high end hunting

Hehe yeap... i carry 5 
3 speed 2 dmg... i usally stick min 12 burns.. but it's very hard to count it.. as some burns merage.. while others burn after each other... what you can test tho is... go to something with 100% heat resis.. not the HAM kill the MOB with only one flamer and 4 burns... now find the same type mob with same ham (near as possable, only the heath matters remember) not use 3 flamers, and try and put on 4 burns with each... now dance around as you realise what a great little tactic I have shown you today
