    Burn

    POST-ACTION

    This thread is specifically about the power "Burn" from the Fiery Aura powerset.

    Now, we all know the buff to Burn has made it an astounding attack, especially now that the Fear component is no longer an issue. However, on my last couple of farming runs, i've noticed mobs running out of my Burn. More so Bosses than anything, (but that's probably because all the Lieuts and Minions die before they can run).

    Has anyone else experienced this issue?

    I have a Level 50 Rad/MM. I can agree that with enough recharge, all that AoE is completely unnecessary. I originally had Irradiate, Electron Haze, Neutron Bomb, and Psychic Shockwave as my AoE abilities. This worked out quite well, though I eventually stopped using Electron Haze due to the long animation and low damage. I dropped it for Proton Volley, specifically for the set bonuses from Sting of the Manticore. I can have a steady rotation of Neutron Bomb > Irradiate > Psychic Shockwave without trouble, aside from the typical "OHGODI'MSOSQUISHYDON'TKILLME" ordeal.

    I also have enough powers to form a strong single-target rotation, consisting of Neutrino Bolt, X-Ray Beam, Cosmic Burst, and Knockout Blow (from Leviathan Mastery). I have Achilles' Heel procs in all of my Rad attacks besides Proton Volley (because it's just an IO mule), and stacking on top of Reactive, it's just ungodly. Easily my favorite toon to play despite the obvious drawbacks of being a glass cannon.

    Listen, boys. I know you're debating between Archery and Fire, but have you ever considered Radiation? Defense debuffs, high energy damage, THREE AoE attacks, and you can slot in -Res Procs? Take a peek for yourself, this is the build I use. Cheap, plenty solo-capable, though I do keep purple insps on hand just in case.
