Burn and front loaded damage ?

[Outrider_01]

Burn hitting for 6 times it normal damage, usually as high as 30 average with buffs and inspiration chewing.

 

You hit The Best with your Burn for 208.36 points of Fire damage.
You hit Ferret with your Burn for 208.36 points of Fire damage.
You hit TankYou with your Burn for 208.36 points of Fire damage.
You hit TankYou with your Burn for 213.62 points of Fire damage.
You hit The Best with your Burn for 213.62 points of Fire damage.

 

Random times in the combat log

You hit Tankerbell with your Burn for 245.96 points of Fire damage.
You hit Tankerbell with your Burn for 152.19 points of Fire damage.

 

Two lines for Tankerbell right after each other, pretty much instantly.

 

Have the Gladiators -resist proc in burn, seeing "You hit Target and lower their resistance"  like a fat block of text (something like 10+ lines) when there is only couple bosses left.  Is the effect stacking per burn tick?  Could that be why its front loading, its stacking -resist 5 times ?
 

Wait, just noticed somthing about burn in Mids.  Is it normally front loaded?  I thought it was pure dot ticks

If I recall correctly they did change it to front the damage.

 

And looking at the Wiki a fear component was removed, an initial damage hit was added and the DoT tic rate reduced in issue 18.
