Ring of Fire: This skill now applies 2 stacks of burning for 4 seconds when foes are initially hit. Decreased the burning when foes pass through the fire wall from 3 stacks for 5 seconds to 1 stack for 2 seconds.

Simplest explanation is that it gives an initial unavoidable damage (assuming they’re in range) and then a lesser damage by walking over the area. Rather than having all damage from walking over the “ring” and being avoidable.

The only other skills I can think of that acts like this are purging flames which already burns on creation, and flame axe ring of fire which the devs have forgotten exists. Bringing purging flames, down to ring of fire levels of burning would be a huge nerf and in need of compensation. And flame axe also wouldn’t matter since, no one uses it for anything, and the devs are fine with that.
