Yesterday fighting hellhounds I noticed that my inferno spell (usually doing 78 damage) did 273 damage to each hellhound surrounding me. That is like the sickest damage I've ever seen dealt. How come hounds from hell are weak against fire? Is it because "inferno" is flames from hell itself?

All undead have weakness against fire, I know this cause when I die with my Necro and my minions turn on my allies, a fire elementalist can kill them in a single spell. I thought they took double damage, like holy damage, but maybe they take more.

Weaknesses are odd...
Sometimes, they seem to have no effect beyond normal damage, x2, or even x4 damage.

100+ damage meteor spell which would normally deal ~210 damage did 440 on a hell hound earlier. If you cast Fire Storm or Symbol of Wrath on a group of them, you'll see some getting hit, for say, 21 damage (although, those are normally different monsters in the group not weak to holy), some will get hit for 42, and some get smacked for 84 o.O

Do they have a stance, such as Frenzy, and you just don't see when it activates, so they take another double damage in addition to the natural weakness?
