I think the big part of the problem is that there is a mechanic that makes you take damage for every step you make on the burning surface.
I just noticed it a bit better today, as i was trying to move my character out of fire the Sparkmaster 5000 was creating.
That is where those fast numerous hits of damage happen, since each time you make a step the fire damages you all over.
And it works like that in TB combat mode.
While of course, in real time especially, the instinctive reaction from any player is to try running out of that fire. Which causes several consecutive hits of damage - for each step. So if the first step doesn't kill you the second surely will.
Presuming you are still alive after the initial hit of damage.
- one more thing:
It seems that being set on fire, burning - lowers your fire resistance even further, into negative numbers...
W.T.F?
