Good content overall to the post (though a log would have helped) - but please write in paragraphs, try out the table formatting instead of posting in (admittedly patriotic and thus mildly heartwarming) arrows and colors, and toss some WD-40 on your exclamation point key; I think it's stuck.

Original Post:

Hey guys, I found out something very very interesting today.
With the last beta build, combustion was changed in a positive way.
It seems like the damage of combustion's ticks is now based on the damage dealed by your applied DoTs in 2 seconds (before damage per second).
Sounds complicated so let me explain with a calculation:

If your Ignite deals 15k damage per tick (means 15k damage every 2 seconds), your Combustion also ticks with 15k instead of 7,5k before. Hope this is not just a bug!!!!
The same affects the Pyro-DoT with a little exception. All buffs/debuffs that increase the dealed spell damage are ignored for the calculation.

Did some tests without gear:

Buff -----------> PyroDoT -----> Combustion per Tick

None ---------> 418 ----------> 278 (=418/3 * 2)
Int ------------> 424 ----------> 283 (=424/3 * 2)
Rune ---------> 468 ----------> 278
Int + Rune --> 476 ----------> 283

So, it doesn't matter if you're standing in the Rune of Power or not, Combustion deals still the same damage concerning the Pyro-DoT component.

EDIT: Haste even doesn't affect the calculation with Pyro-DoT.
The Pyro-DoT ticked with 11294 damage every 2,80 seconds and with 1,500 Haste Rating procc every 2,72 seconds - both ending with a 7529-ticking Combustion (11294 / 3 * 2 ~ 7529)
