I think the “Searing” effect is not working properly, I’ve sent a clip showing the weird numbers.  
I am using a Bow with Fire infusion and Plague Quiver, I un-equip the quiver to make fire dmg in the clip.

I am trying to proc the “Searing effect“ by applying plague + Fire dmg, damage numbers are.  
Fire Damage : 38  
Burn Damage : 8  
Also there is no visual clue that I am triggering it, but this might still not be in the game.

Afterwards when I attack with fire only the numbers are.  
Fire Damage : 48  
Burn Damage : 16

For some reason Fire on its own does more damage than Plague + Fire.

I can confirm this bug and its sad because Overload is currently the only advanced status. I wanted to make a plague build but filling the purple bar then useing fire does nothing currently. There have been others reporting that this is not working on the discord as well.

Thanks lads, I am escalating this because I have also seen numerous chatter on Discord it doesn’t seem to work.
