The beams deal firedamage over time to enemies touching it. Totem range is 100.
The beams will only link between adjacent totems and the caster if they are within a certain range from each other. If a pair of totems are placed too far apart, or the caster moves too far away from a totem, or the path of a beam is obstructed by something like a wall—those links will be broken.
Fire damage dealt over time by the beams is considered burning damage, and therefore benefits from increased burning damage modifiers. The damage of the beams is also affected by increased fire, elemental and totem damage passives, as well as damage over time and spell damage modifiers.
