1. ↑ "Burns work differently now. Before, per-tick damage was capped for burning players based upon percentage of health, so higher health survivors actually took more total damage from burns. But actually only some of the time; it was inconsistent. Now ALL burns work the same way: they deal damage from a total pool in increments based upon a percentage of the target's health. The effect is that the same burn will last longer on targets with lower max health than on targets with higher max health" - BenHG#7784 Source
