Heat Damage

Heat Damage is one of the four primary elemental damage types. It performs well against

Grineer Cloned Flesh and light

Infested creatures, but is less effective against the Proto Shields worn by some elite

Corpus units.

Status EffectsEdit

GeneralEdit

The status effect of Heat damage is Ignite. It sets the enemy ablaze, which makes them panic, reduces their armor by up to 50% and, after a 1 second delay, deals a tick of damage every second for 6 seconds after the last fire proc. Each tick deals damage equal to 0.5 × Modded Damage × (1 + Heat Damage mods) × (1 + Faction Damage mods) as Heat damage.

For example, tick damage for a weapon with an innate 100 damage, Serration, Hellfire, and Bane of Grineer will be:

Modded Damage = 100 × (1 + 1.65) × (1 + 0.3) = 344.5

Heat Mod Multiplier = (1 + 0.9) × (1 + 0.3) = 2.47x

Tick Damage = 0.5 × 344.5 × 2.47 = 425.458

As can be seen in the above calculations for tick damage, Faction Damage is applied twice, making their effective bonus = (1+Faction Bonus)^2. Which is +69% for the 30% Faction Damage mods and +140.25% for the 55% Primed Faction Damage mods.

Repeated application of Heat procs do not stack tick damage in the same way other DoT status effects like Toxin, Electricity, or Slash do. Instead, a Heat proc both adds a stack and refreshes the duration of all currently active heat stacks on the target. This allows for ramping up Heat tick damage indefinitely (scaling up linearly) as long as heat status is kept refreshed within the 6 second effect duration (modified by Status Duration). Additionally, all Heat status stacks are automatically consolidated into one tick of damage per second, with new heat procs refreshing and further adding to this tick damage.

Enemies affected by a Heat proc are ignited in flames and will panic and flail around for a few seconds, preventing them from taking any other actions. The length of the panic animation depends on enemy type: approximately 4 seconds for humanoids, 3 for most Infested, and 2 for MOAs and Chargers, however Ospreys, Bosses and Tenno are immune, and their ability to act is not impeded. Repeated application of Heat status will reapply the panic effect. Enemies killed while under or by a Heat proc will be left in ashes, burning away shortly afterwards.

The Heat status effect's armor strip has a ramp up time when it first procs and a ramp down time when the proc ends. Every 0.5 seconds after the initial proc, the enemy will have 15%, 30%, 40%, 50% of its armor stripped. It will therefore take 2 seconds to reach the maximum armor strip.^[1] Proccing more heat status effects within this time frame will not speed up the armor stripping process.

After the proc ends, the target will regain armor every 1.5 seconds for 6 seconds. The enemy's armor strip will decrease as follows: 50%, 40%, 30%, 15%, 0%. ^[2]

Status Duration mods will increase the time intervals for the armor strip as expected. For example, with +100% status duration the armor strip will occur every second instead of every half second. As a result, the full 50% armor strip will only be achieved after 4 seconds.

Armor Removal InteractionsEdit

When Heat status is combined with Corrosive status and Corrosive Projection, the armor reduction is multiplicative. This can be expressed as the following:

$Armor after reduction = (1 - 50%) \times [1 - (20% + 6% \times Number of Corrosive stacks)] \times (1 - 18% \times Number Corrosive Projections)$

For example, a full 4-player squad with max-rank Corrosive Projections, an active Heat proc, and max stacked Corrosive proc will result in an enemy's armor being reduced to:

(1 - 50%) \times [1 - (20% + 6% \times 10)] \times (1 - 18% \times 4) = 2.8%

.

If only one player has a max-rank Corrosive Projection with the above statuses, an enemy's armor would instead be reduced to:

(1 - 50%) \times [1 - (20% + 6% \times 10)] \times (1 - 18%) = 8.2%

.

An active Heat proc, and max stacked Corrosive proc without Corrosive Projection would result in an enemy's armor being reduced to:

(1 - 50%) \times [1 - (20% + 6% \times 10)] = 10%

.

Currently, the only non-ability method to completely remove armor is to use Shattering Impact or Sharpened Claws.

EmpyreanEdit

The Empyrean game mode version of Heat is called Incendiary. Its status effect is Sear, dealing a tick of damage every second for 6 seconds after the last fire proc. Against the Tenno's Railjack, it causes a Fire Hazard which deals damage over time to the ship.

Type EffectivenessEdit

Grineer Health	Heat Modifier	Corpus Health	Heat Modifier	Infested Health	Heat Modifier
Cloned Flesh	+25%	Flesh		Infested	+25%
Ferrite Armor		Shield		Infested Flesh	+50%
Alloy Armor		Proto Shield	–50%	Fossilized
Machinery		Robotic		Sinew

Elemental CombinationsEdit

Heat damage mods can be combined with other elemental mods to create a new elemental damage type.

Heat + Cold = Blast
Heat + Toxin = Gas
Heat + Electricity = Radiation

TipsEdit

Magus Accelerant is a rare case of resistance reduction that will multiply the effects of heat. It is especially effective against Proto Shield, able to reduce the 50% resistance to -100%, a 4x damage bonus. However it does not reduce armor resistance, where it would have an exponential effect with health resistances.
Heat damage and its combination elements are not very effective against Corpus. In addition to Heat damage being reduced against Proto Shields, Gas damage is reduced against Flesh and Radiation damage is reduced against Shields (though it is increased against Robotic). Therefore, when using Heat-based weapons like Ignis in Corpus-controlled areas, it's a good idea to upgrade them with Cold to deal Blast damage instead, which is neutral against all Corpus types.

AbilitiesEdit

ENERGY 25 KEY 1	Fireball Charge and release a fiery projectile that ignites enemies on contact.	Strength:150 / 275 / 300 / 400 ( Heat damage on impact) 50 / 100 / 125 / 150 ( Heat area damage)
		Duration:1.5 s (combo window)
		Range:2 - 2.4 m (radius)
		Misc:100% ( Heat status chance on impact) 50% ( Heat status chance in area) 8.0x (combo damage multiplier cap) +1%/s (heat generation rate bonus for Immolation)

Ember launches a fiery projectile that inflicts 150 / 275 / 300 / 400 Heat damage on impact with a 100% status chance. The projectile also inflicts 50 / 100 / 125 / 150 Heat damage in a 2 meter area of effect around the target with a 50% status chance.
- All damage is affected by Ability Strength.
- The blast radius is affected by Ability Range.
- The combo window is affected by Ability Duration
- Area damage affects the initial target, does not decrease with distance, and can also perform headshots.
- The Heat status procs deal 50% of initial damage on that target per tick.
- The Area damage on initial target can trigger a second heat status proc, for 50% of the area damage hit per tick.
Fireball can be charged before launch.
- Launching with a full charge doubles both the initial and area damage, in addition to increasing the range to 2.4 meters.
- A charge circle will be displayed when charging, showing the progress of the charge.
- A full charge takes 2.5 seconds.
- Charge rate is affected by mods that increase casting speed (e.g. Natural Talent). The charge rate can be reduced to a minimum cap of 1.5 seconds.
Casting another Fireball within the combo window multiplies both the initial damage and the DoT by the combo number, doubles the combo counter (with a maximum of 8x) and resets the combo window.
Fireball may be cast multiple times on the same target, with cast stacking its damage over time.
Projectile has flight time and will continue to travel until it hits a solid object or enemy.
Ability Synergy:
- Each cast of Fireball increases Immolation's heat generation by 1% per second.
- Immolation reduces Fireball's charge rate based on the amount of heat stored.
Will not disrupt Shade's cloak.
Will break reinforced Corpus ship windows.
Casting Fireball is a One-Handed Action that allows the player to perform attacks, movement and parkour Maneuvers.
Has a delay of 0.5 seconds between uses.

Main article: Fireball Frenzy

Fireball Frenzy is a Warframe Augment Mod for Ember that allows Fireball to, instead of charging, be held on cast, creating a wave of energy traveling outward from the user that temporarily grants the caster and nearby allies additional Heat damage to all attacks.

Rank	Heat Damage	Duration	Range	Cost

1	65%	32s	15m	7
2	80%	36s	15m	8
3	100%	40s	15m	9

Can be used as a cheap form of crowd control.
Modding for high efficiency through the use of Fleeting Expertise can allow for this ability to be spammed, quickly building up the combo multiplier and damage over time.

ENERGY 75 KEY 3	Fire Blast Slam the ground to create a wave of incinerating plasma that knocks back enemies and strips their armor.	Strength:66 / 100 / 141 / 200 ( Heat damage)
		Duration:N/A
		Range:25 m (wave radius)
		Misc:100% ( Heat status chance) 50-100% (armor reduction) -2%/s (heat generation rate reduction for Immolation) -50% (total heat removal for Immolation)

ENERGY 0 KEY 4	Inferno Command a flaming comet to crash down in front of ember, engulfing enemies with a fire that can spread through their ranks. Energy per target: 10	Strength:1000 / 1500 / 2000 / 2500 ( Heat and Impact meteorite damage) 200 - 400 / 350 - 500 / 300 - 600 / 350 - 700 ( Heat ring damage per second)
		Duration:7 / 10 / 12 / 15 s (ring duration)
		Range:10 / 15 / 20 / 25 m (targeting radius)
		Misc:10 (energy cost target cap) +3%/s (heat generation rate bonus for Immolation) +≤100% (damage bonus from Immolation)

ENERGY 10 KEY 1	Spectral Scream Exhale a deep breath of elemental destruction. Chroma's energy color determines the element. Energy Drain: 3 s^-1	Strength:100 / 125 / 150 / 200 (damage)
		Duration:N/A
		Range:4 / 5 / 6.5 / 10 m
		Misc:40% / 45% / 50% / 60% (status chance)

Chroma unleashes a continuous stream of elemental energy in a cone 4 / 5 / 6.5 / 10 meters long that inflicts 100 / 125 / 150 / 200 Heat, Electricity, Toxin, or Cold damage per second with a 40% / 45% / 50% / 60% status chance.
- Damage per second is affected by Ability Strength, while the status chance is not.
- Damage bypasses obstacles in the environment and does not decrease with distance.
- Damage type is based on Chroma's current elemental alignment which is determined by Chroma's energy color.
- Cone length is affected by Ability Range, following the expression:
  10 × (1 + Ability Range)^1/3.
  - At max rank, with a maxed Narrow Minded the range would be reduced to 6.97 meters, while a maxed Overextended would instead increase it to 12.38 meters.
Spectral Scream's damage can be boosted by the Fury aspect of Vex Armor.
Spectral Scream drains 3 energy per second and will remain active as long as Chroma has energy. Spectral Scream will end if Chroma runs out of energy or if deactivated by pressing the ability key again (default 1 ).
- Activation energy cost is affected by Ability Efficiency, and the channeling energy cost is affected by Ability Efficiency and Ability Duration.
- Chroma cannot gain energy from Squad Energy Restores or Energy Siphon for the duration of the ability. However, Chroma can still replenish energy using Energy Orbs, Energy Vampire, Orokin Void Death Orb energy restores, Rage and Hunter Adrenaline, and while in the Rift Plane.
Chroma is able to cast abilities or maneuver just as freely with Spectral Scream active.
The AoE cone is directed from the point of the animation as opposed to toward the crosshair. This means that diving rolls will divert the aim.
The attack can only be aimed within 90 degrees to each side and 45 degrees above or below Chroma.
A visual effect lingers after the cone of damage, dependent on element.

Main article: Afterburn

Afterburn is a Warframe Augment Mod usable in both PvE and Conclave for Chroma's Spectral Scream that launches a single damaging elemental attack upon deactivating the ability.

Rank	Damage per second active	Total damage cap	Cost
0	25	200	6
1	50	300	7
2	75	400	8
3	100	500	9

This ability can come in handy when used as a form of Crowd Control and can both be used as a damage ability, or with Heat or Electricity elemental damage creating a continuous crowd control stun.
This ability can be used to resist knockdowns, making it usable for walking through corpus laser doors or shockwaves caused by MOA or death orbs.
Rolling can be used to counteract the movement speed reduction and cover a large area in a short period of time.
Having a Limbo with a high duration build on your team can be very useful, as Spectral Scream will be able to damage all enemies even while Chroma is in the rift. With a build with maximum efficiency, this will also cause Spectral Scream to cost no energy to use, while actually gaining energy at a minute rate.

Duration:10 / 15 / 20 / 25 s (ability duration)

Range:6 / 8 / 10 / 12 m (aura range)

Chroma emits an aura that infuses himself and nearby allies with elemental energy as long as they remain within 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 meters, providing both offensive and defensive buffs. The aura lasts for 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 seconds.
- Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
- Aura radius is affected by Ability Range.
Elemental Ward exhibits different effects depending on Chroma's current elemental alignment, determined by Chroma's energy color.

Generates a flame aura around Chroma and affected allies that increases base health by 50% / 75% / 100% / 200% and inflicts 25 / 50 / 75 / 100 Heat damage per second within a radius of 5 meters with a 2% / 5% / 7% / 10% status chance.
- Health bonus and damage per second are affected by Ability Strength, while the status chance is not.
- The health bonus stacks additively with base health modifiers, and the amount of health gained is determined by the affected Warframe's base health at rank 0. Since Chroma has 100 health at rank 0, a rank-3 Elemental Ward with a maxed Vitality and Intensify will increase Chroma's health at rank 30 to $200 + 100 \times (1 + (4.4 + 2 \times 1.3)) = 1,000$ .
- Heat damage is effective against Cloned Flesh, Infested, and Infested Flesh, but less effective against Proto Shields.
- Heat status effect deals 50% of Elemental Ward's base damage per tick over 7 ticks in 6 seconds. Ignited enemies will also panic and flail around for a brief period.
- Damage bypasses obstacles in the environment and decreases with distance.
- Burn radius is not affected by Ability Range.

Infuses Chroma and affected allies with an electric current that increases base shields by 50% / 65% / 75% / 100% and converts incoming damage into arc discharges. An arc discharge inflicts 250% / 300% / 500% / 1000% incoming damage as Electricity damage to a single target within 5 / 6 / 8 / 10 meters with a 10% / 15% / 20% / 25% status chance. Arc discharges will inflict a minimum of 50 / 60 / 100 / 200 Electricity damage.
- Shield bonus, damage multiplier, minimum damage, and status chance are affected by Ability Strength.
- The shield bonus stacks additively with base shield modifiers, and the amount of shields gained is determined by the affected Warframe's base shields at rank 0. Since Chroma has 100 shields at rank 0, a rank-3 Elemental Ward with a maxed Redirection and Intensify will increase Chroma's shield capacity at rank 30 to $300 + 100 \times (4.4 + 1 \times 1.3) = 870$ .
- Electricity damage is effective against Machinery and Robotics but less effective against Alloy Armor.
- Electricity status effect chains 50% of Elemental Ward's base damage to surrounding enemies in a small area of effect. Shocked enemies will also be briefly stunned.
- Arc damage bypasses obstacles in the environment.
- The final damage of an arc discharge is determined by the amount of shields and/or health lost by incoming damage. For example with a maxed Intensify, losing 100 shields from a single instance of damage will produce an arc that inflicts $100 \times 10 \times 1.3 = 1,300$ Electricity damage at rank 3 to a single target as long as it's within range.
- Self-damage and damage from environmental hazards can also be converted into arc discharges.
- Arcs can strike the same target multiple times, and arcs can be produced in quick succession should Chroma and allies receive multiple instances of damage that exceed the minimum threshold.
- Arc range is affected by Ability Range.

Emits an aura of noxious fumes around Chroma and affected allies that increases base reload speed by 15% / 25% / 30% / 35% and holster rate by 15% / 25% / 30% / 35%. Within a radius of 5 meters, the noxious fumes also have a 25% / 35% / 40% / 50% chance per second to deal 5% of an enemy's maximum health as Toxin damage with a 100% status chance.
- Damage chance per second is affected by Ability Strength, while the damage is not.
- Toxin damage is effective against Flesh and Ferrite Armor and bypasses Shielded and Proto Shields, but is less effective against Machinery, Robotics, and Fossilized.
- Toxin status effect deals 50% of Elemental Ward's base damage per tick over 9 ticks in 8 seconds. As the base damage constitutes 5% of an enemy's maximum health, the ensuing proc will deal a total of 22.5% of the enemy's max health as Toxin damage in 9 ticks over 8 seconds, bringing the total damage to 27.5% of the enemy's max health.
- The Toxin damage will only be applied to an enemy if it is not already affected by a Toxin proc, but can occur as soon as an existing Toxin proc expires. As such, its effect cannot stack with itself but can refresh itself every 9 seconds.
- Damage bypasses obstacles in the environment and does not decrease with distance.
- Reload speed and holster rate bonuses are affected by Ability Duration.
- The amount of reload speed gained is determined by the affected weapon's base reload speed.
- Damage radius is not affected by Ability Range.

Encases Chroma and affected allies in a layer of frost that increases base armor by 25% / 75% / 100% / 150% and creates an ice shield that reflects incoming fire back to their source. Reflected damage is increased by 150% / 200% / 250% / 300% and has a 10% / 15% / 20% / 25% status chance.
- Armor bonus, damage multiplier, and status chance are affected by Ability Strength.
- The armor bonus stacks additively with base armor modifiers, and the amount of armor gained is determined by the affected Warframe's base armor. Since Chroma has 350 base armor, a rank-3 Elemental Ward with a maxed Steel Fiber and Intensify will increase Chroma's armor to $350 \times (1 + 1.1 + 1.5 \times 1.3) = 1,417.5$ . As with all other additive armor bonuses, Elemental Ward's bonus is applied before multiplicative armor bonuses.
- Cold damage is effective against Alloy Armor, Shielded, and Infested Sinew, but less effective against Infested Flesh and Fossilized.
- Cold status effect reduces a target's movement speed and fire/attack rate by 50% over a duration of 6 seconds.
- Incoming hitscan and non-hitscan projectiles are physically redirected. As such, obstacles in the environment can prevent reflected damage from hitting enemies.
- Hitscan projectiles are reflected directly to the source enemy regardless of distance from Chroma. Melee attacks are not reflected.
- Non-hitscan projectiles are reflected in the direction of the source enemy.

Elemental Auras of any type from two or more Chromas do not stack, i.e. two Heat auras do not increase damage nor health values, and if you had both a Heat and Cold aura, only one of them would be active on allies, the first aura stays until you move out of range or it expires.
Has a casting delay of 1 second. The animation interrupts movement and other actions.
Elemental Ward cannot be recast while active.

Main article: Everlasting Ward

Everlasting Ward is a Warframe Augment Mod for Chroma that allows allies to retain Elemental Ward's effects upon moving out of its range, lasting for a percentage of Elemental Ward's remaining duration.

StatsEdit

Rank	Duration	Cost
0	50%	6
1	65%	7
2	80%	8
3	100%	9

In a pinch, the bonus Health provided by the Ward can be used as a quick heal, as the Health granted is automatically added to your remaining health and is not reduced from your remaining health when Elemental Ward wears off.

Can be used to great effect on Survival and Exterminate missions where enemies approach you from all directions and are often difficult to locate or target. At maximum Ability Strength, the damage reflected can easily finish off weaker enemies and potentially stun any survivors.

Works very well with weapons that require you to reload frequently or have long reload times.
Can reduce recharge delay for Cycron or a Kitgun equipped with Pax Charge, however, it does not affect recharge rate.

Properly modded, a Cold-oriented Ward can provide an armor bonus high enough that can counteract the armor penalty generated when casting Effigy.

Allies who enter, leave, then re-enter the radius of Heat-oriented Ward will not regain the buff on the same cast of Elemental Ward. This results in an empty space where the bonus health should have been, even if they took no damage at all.
- This causes Medi-Ray and other healing abilities to attempt to heal the player, but if the player gets out of Elemental Ward's range, their health will return to normal again, wasting the health restored in the process.

ENERGY 50 KEY 4	Effigy Chroma turns his pelt into a massive sentry that strengthens nearby allies and engulfs enemies in elemental attacks. Energy Drain: 10 s^-1	Strength:100 / 200 / 300 / 400 (damage/tick) 500 / 1000 / 1500 / 2000 (damage/second) 1000 / 2000 / 4000 / 8000 (health)
		Duration:N/A
		Range:N/A
		Misc:20 m (attack range) 30 m (stun radius) 5 m (knockback radius) Sentry 5 (ticks/second) 15% / 30% / 45% / 60% (credit chance) 25% / 50% / 75% / 100% (credit bonus) Chroma 20% (speed bonus) 50% (armor reduction)

Chroma sheds his outer pelt, imbuing it with elemental energy to sprout wings and converting it into a stationary floating sentry with 1000 / 2000 / 4000 / 8000 health. The sentry will attack all enemies within 20 meters with a continuous stream of elemental energy, dealing 100 / 200 / 300 / 400 Heat, Electric, Toxin, or Cold damage per tick. The sentry is capable of unleashing a radial attack that inflicts 200 Heat, Electric, Toxin, or Cold damage to enemies within 5 meters. The sentry can also unleash a radial roar to temporarily stun enemies within 30 meters.
- Sentry health and continuous damage are affected by Ability Strength, while the radial attack damage is not.
- Effigy's elemental breath attack does 5 ticks of damage within 1 second making the base damage per second 2000.
- Damage type is based on Chroma's current elemental alignment, determined by Chroma's energy color.
  - Heat damage is effective against Cloned Flesh, Infested, and Infested Flesh, but less effective against Proto Shields.
  - Heat status effect deals 50% of Effigy's base damage per tick over 7 ticks in 6 seconds. Ignited enemies will also panic and flail around for a brief period.
  - Electricity damage is effective against Machinery and Robotics but less effective against Alloy Armor.
  - Electricity status effect chains 50% of Effigy's base damage to surrounding enemies in a small area of effect. Shocked enemies will also be briefly stunned.
  - Toxin damage is effective against Flesh and Ferrite Armor and bypasses Shielded and Proto Shields, but is less effective against Machinery, Robotics, and Fossilized.
  - Toxin status effect deals 50% of Effigy's base damage per tick over 9 ticks in 8 seconds. Toxin damage bypasses shields and is able to directly affect health. Multiple instances of the Toxin DoT stack on the same target for increased damage over time.
  - Cold damage is effective against Alloy Armor, Shielded, and Infested Sinew, but less effective against Infested Flesh and Fossilized.
  - Cold status effect reduces a target's movement speed and fire/attack rate by 50% over a duration of 6 seconds.
- Enemies affected by the close-range radial attack are ragdolled.
- Sentry attack range, stun radius, and knockback radius are not affected by Ability Range.
Enemies killed by the sentry have a 15% / 30% / 45% / 60% chance to drop additional credits.
- All Credits that drop within 10 meters of the sentry yield 25% / 50% / 75% / 100% additional credits.
  - The range is not affected by mods.
- Technically increases credits income by 3.75% / 15% / 33.75% / 60% while the Sentry is active.
- Credit chance and credit bonus are not affected by Ability Strength.
While Effigy is active, Chroma can fight in his lightened form, gaining 20% movement speed but with a 50% armor reduction.
- Speed bonus and armor reduction are not affected by Ability Strength.
- The armor reduction is a multiplicative penalty that's applied to Chroma's total armor (e.g., with a maxed Steel Fiber and Intensify, Chroma with Vex Armor at full capacity will have his armor lowered to $350 \times (1 + 1.1 + 3.5 \times 1.3) \times 0.5 = 1,163.75$ when Effigy is activated).
Effigy drains 10 energy per second while active, and will deactivate if Chroma runs out of energy, sentry health is depleted, or if manually deactivated by pressing the ability key again (default 4 ).
- Activation energy cost is affected by Ability Efficiency, and the channeling energy cost is affected by Ability Efficiency and Ability Duration.
- Chroma cannot gain energy from Squad Energy Restores or Energy Siphon for the duration of the ability. However, Chroma can still replenish energy using Energy Orbs, Rage and Hunter Adrenaline, Orokin Void Death Orb energy restores, Energy Vampire, and while in the Rift Plane due to Limbo's ability.
When deactivated, Chroma can teleport his pelt from anywhere onto himself. This will stop movement and interrupt any action Chroma is doing, such as reloading, leaving a player vulnerable.
- When deactivated while sliding, Chroma's pelt will be reapplied to him without triggering the animation, even if the player immediately cancels his slide.
Both the initial cast and the return of Chroma's pelt will cease any actions as they are a two-handed ability.

Main article: Guided Effigy

Guided Effigy is a Warframe Augment Mod for Chroma's Effigy that allows him to control the Effigy, dealing rapid damage to enemies in its path and stunning enemies at the destination.

The sentry usually unleashes its roar a few seconds after deploying. This allows you to quickly deploy the sentry for a temporary stun to all nearby enemies.
The pelt can be Banished, preventing damage from non-banished enemies while still being able to damage all enemies normally.
The pelt gains shields from the Shield Osprey Eximus Specter.

Heat Status Proc Changes

Heat Status procs now reduce targets' armor to 50% of the original value, with subsequent Heat procs refreshing the duration. Not hot enough for you? Applying the Status proc multiple times also turns up the Heat, dealing more damage per tick as the flames increase.
