I've noticed something with Saryn that I find odd. Miasma seems to be dealing a massive burst of damage on cast, followed by the listed DoT effect. I haven't been able to pin down a number since things die too quickly, but without a Focus mod, a rank 3 Miasma can incinerate level 30+ Ancients with a single shot from full health. Going higher, the starting blast doesn't instantly kill them, but the DoT taking effect afterwards is sufficient. It wasn't until around level 50 that Ancients began surviving a Miasma, but then it was with little more than a sliver of HP.

I think it may have the seemingly standard 1000 damage up front attached to it, but being poison damage, it's significantly more potent than things like Crush that end up largely mitigated by armour. Has anyone else noticed this?
