SummaryIncinerate - Duration bonuses and penalties do not affect Incinerate damage or DOT length on Insanity.
- Damage v armor (2.4x multiplier) and shields (1x multiplier) is instant, and does expected damage.
- Damage v organic health does majority of damage instantly on impact, then does DOT for total length of ~2.64s (actual), always* divided into 180 ticks.
- Total damage v organic health is higher than expected (1.267x), but does not vary with duration bonus from Tech Duration research or Mechanic.
- Bonus damage scales with Tech Damage research. (DOT / impact calculation bugged?)
- Impact damage is 0.867x expected damage, DOT damage total is 0.4x expected damage
- Incinerate DOT will instakill a Husk.
Reave- Duration bonuses and penalties do affect Reave damage.
- Biotic Duration and passive duration bonus combine additively. Insanity duration penalty multiplies that sum.
- Damage to protections is applied instantly, damage to health is applied in relatively equal DOT ticks.
- Total damage v protections is as expected.
- Damage v organic health is very close to expected.
- Measured DOT length was shorter than expected.
General - Both DOTs tick about every 0.015s resulting in many ticks per cast on an organic target.
- Tick rate is about 60 per game time second.
- DOT length is lower than expected for both on Insanity. (time compression?)
*Except one time the Trooper was laying on the ground after being ragdolled by the grenade launcher. That Incinerate only did 150 ticks for whatever reason and had reduced total damage (relative to other tests) as a result.

Basic Test Setup
Level 29 Engineer Shepard - Insanity
Overload 2
Incinerate 1
Reave 1
No armor bonuses to power damage
Research and passive investment will be noted when applied.
Damage multiplier was 0.307848 on both Aequitas and Zorya (same chronological point in game), and is accounted for in script to show theorycrafting numbers.

Health Tests
Since there are hundreds of total ticks, I am not going to post them here. But I will post the summary. I put them into excel though (to work with them), so can reference them later if need be. If you are bored, here are the dots.
I also thought that the testing methodology might be screwing with Incinerate's DOT, so I did a test that was different. I got the same bugged total damage, and am not going to post it unless requested.
--
Husks (Aequitas) - 300 Health
--
Incinerate 1 - Mechanic
**Instakills Husk, cannot be used to get total damage
**Second "DOT" tick was for 974 damage
**180 "normal" damage ticks
--
Reave 1 - Mechanic
Cast 1
Time: 2.426s 166 ticks
Total Damage: 110.764
Cast 2
Time: 2.42s 166 ticks
Total Damage: 110.756
40*3*(1+0.15)*0.8 = 110.4
**2.76s calculated time.
**~60.1 ticks per second "game time"
--
Blue Suns Trooper (Zorya) - 200 Health
--
Incinerate 1 (No Bonus)
Time: 2.614s 180 ticks
Total Damage: 164.707 Impact Damage: 112.667
112.667/130 = 0.867
DOT damage = 52.04 , 52.04/130 = 0.4
--
Incinerate 1 - Mechanic
Time:2.591s 180 ticks
Total Damage: 164.712 Impact Damage: 112.667
Time: 2.609 180 ticks
Total Damage: 164.71 Impact Damage: 112.667
**~86% damage at impact
**Mechanic does not affect Incinerate organic health damage
**Extra damage artifact? -> 26% extra damage
164.71/130 = 1.267
--
Incinerate 1 - Tech Damage 2
Time: 2.636 180 ticks
Total Damage: 197.650 Impact Damage: 135.2
Time: 2.645 180 ticks
Total Damage: 197.654 Impact Damage: 135.2
130*(1+0.2)=156
197.654/156 = 1.267
135.2/156 = 0.867
(197.654-135.2)/156 = 0.400
--
Incinerate 1 - Tech 2, Tech Duration
Time: 2.638 180 ticks
Total Damage: 197.654 Impact Damage: 135.2
Time: 2.656 180 ticks

Total Damage: 197.652 Impact Damage: 135.2
Time: 2.643 180 ticks
Total Damage: 197.654 Impact Damage: 135.2
**Mechanic has no effect on Incinerate Health Damage
130*(1+0.2)=156 expected damage
197.65/156 = 1.267 times total damage
180/3 = 60 ticks per "game second"
2.64/3 = 0.88 time compression factor?
--

195/3.24 = 60.18 ticks per "game second"
2.833/3.24 = 0.87 time compression factor?
