    Sweeps/jabs is 100% dot. Procs valkyn and will never proc nerianith.

    The jabs has some odd/bugged interactions with sets, see ravager and selenes, both of which can be proced without burning light by jabs.

    Sweeps will not proc scathing mage.

    Hurricane is 100% a dot. Not a single part is direct damage.

    Does it not share the same weird properties of biting jabs vis a vis ravager? Im not suggesting this is the case, just curious.

    Jabs proc the Burning Light passive, which in return Proccs ravager AFAIK.

    Not to be rude but this is wrong.

    (2 items) Adds 833 Weapon Critical
    (3 items) Adds 1206 Maximum Health
    (4 items) Adds 129 Weapon Damage
    (5 items) When you deal melee damage, you have a 8% chance to increase your Weapon Damage by 645 for 10 seconds. This effect can occur once every 10 seconds.

    Melee damage procs ravager. Jabs are melee.
    Jabs and morphs are channels and have an AoE component.

    Im especially interested if direct damage so that it procs scathing mage...so i assume either no direct damage or only the first hit?

    Does only the first hit or all of them proc chance burn light?

    So Scathing Mage will not proc off sweeps. It will proc of Burning Light passive. Since every DoT tick of blazing spear and every hit of jabs has a 25% to proc Burning Light it is possible to have decent up time on Scathing Mage. I would recommend you look at Burning Spell Weave. I think it is more damage, I could be wrong, and it might have a higher up time.

    This is how I understand it to work too.
