Flare Up increases chance to hit?

as a caster i start %30 of my battles without flamecall and in these battles it feels like i miss a lot more. So i decided to try r16-r17 gems with and without flamecall buff, started my hits and and misses.

Destruction has a theory about situation, if i understand right its like "your gems chance to hit increases if its potential damage increases" well there doesnt seem any other explanation actually if what we doubt is true :]

FlameCall

R 17 red DD

R 16 red DD

without FlameCall

R 17 red DD

134/21 misses -----------------> %15.7

R 16 red DD

[Destruction]

My logic is that damage plays a significant role in determining if a gem connects through a set cnt threshold which is determined by your aura + skills.

would you be able to dodge a tidal wave easier than someone spitting at you?
