So I logged on to my ol' lvl 50 fire ice tank to find that his burn power has had its damage decreased. Did this power really need further balancing since the implementation of ED? It might have had several nerfs after that, I don't know for sure but it bummed me out to see the 3 dmg DoT on its own, fully slotted for dmg and 5-6 dmg DoT with buildup and fiery embrace. Might as well make burn heal the mobs 5 HP DoT for 10 seconds once they come in contact with it... C'mon devs, you're killing us here. You're really killing us.
Anyhow, the well scripted email I got regarding this when I sent a question/petition last night asked me to post on here so that maybe there would be a chance that a Dev would stumble on it and at least read it.
Cheers

The last change to Burn was a buff (for Tanks) that shortened its recharge time. It hasn't had its damage nerfed any time since ED that I recall.
Well it's doing less damage now so something was changed. I remember it doing more than 3 for jeebuz sake. It was late at night so I'll do a lil more research on the matter and see if it had anything to do with enemy resistance. It was an AE mission too so I'll check it out. If I'm wrong about the whole matter then I'm truly sorry for wasting everyone's time. 
"Fully slotted for damage" does that mean you've still got it 6 slotted? Because if that's the case there's your issue right there. You're not going to see anything like your old pre-ed damage unless you slot out some IO sets, maybe - but more realistically - get used to changes, if it's been that long since you've played a tank created years back.
Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!
Repurposed
no, its only 3 slotted dmg for obvious ED purposes. I had made this tank shortly after ED and right about the time mobs would run away from the burn patch which was probably the same time, don't know.
Anyhow I think I found the problem and as embarrassed as I am able to admit this, I have made an error. The lack of dmg was because of the custom mob(not my mission) I was up against had fire aura. Well I'm relieved and at the same time ashamed for my snarky comments. Sorry for wasting everyone's time.
G'day

Fully slotted Tanker Burn vs. even con targets should be showing at least twice what you are reporting.
You were either attacking mobs way above your level, ones with high fire resistance or both.

No offence but did you even read the other posts, the OP said it was because he was fighting custom mobs from AE that had fire shields.
Actually he didn't say that. He said they might have resistances so he would check. 
And further down the thread, the OP confirmed he was indeed fighting custom mobs with Fire Aura:-

I believe that qualifies as a "Burn". From a technical standpoint.

HA!
At least this thread has a happy ending. Misunderstanding cleared up, nobody complaining about the i15 accuracy nerf, peace and tranquility reign.

For now.
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
In general, the game is old and complex enough now that almost every complaint people make is going to require them to actually post some kind of data, because there are too many variables and unknowns.
"Burn is doing less damage" in this case was a "WHERE, against WHAT, is Burn doing less damage?" question, but it might have also been a "SINCE WHEN," if the OP was referring to a very early issue. It could also have been "Less damage than my Scrapper," for example, at least in some cases.
We need information in the OP when people post these kinds of things! And every thread that's about something working differently needs to specify whether or not it's in PVP, a PVP zone, or Mission Architect.
