So...a DoT (Damage over Time) does not kill targets? Only DD (Direct Damage) does?
So is Scorch worthless?

I've tested my theory several times this morning and every time, I run all over the place with a freshly cast Scorch on the target which shows no health left...and it won't die until I give up and use Poke or Swarm to finish it off.

I think this is a general overall setting in the game.
I've noticed that my pirate never appears to die from simply being poisoned, nor does my ship sink from simply being on fire.
I have fled both my pirate and my ship, while poisoned or on fire, and still survived with 1 health point many times. I dont think DoT weapons will take that last 1 HP unless it does so on the initial attack.
Edit: Its a great attack for leveling, good reps for low damage.
