Probably your Naramon helped your gas proc to deal tons of damage as well. A timely status proc + Crit damage + Combo multiplier (which affects your crit) + high damage (from your slam attack) + Naramon (Deadly Intent).....go figure, it all adds up. Plus, Gas damage scales very well into high level content with the right damage since multipliers like crits carry towards your Gas proc damage.

This is just my guess since you mentioned Shadow Step. To get Shadow Step, you must also have Deadly Intent which increases crit chance. If you crit along with your status procs, then the multiplied damage also carries to your Gas proc, same with slash procs also.

You'll have to read up on Gas damage to see how it works.
