No change to it's max targets or 8ft radius.
SO happy! 
I had Burn in anyway, but now no more dancing around with Fault, Tremor, and Burn, to get it to do 60% of its theoretical damage (100% upon bosses that got Seismically Smashed then juggled). It will do more damage and with less finagling.
FE... have to find a place to add this in. OTOH, room now to remove Physical Perfection if Consume is going to be more dependable, so that should free room for it.
how do you like that build Heraclea? With brusing and AH (and potentially Fury of Gladiator) that's a lot of -rez!

And, Burn is affected by Bruising!
Big deal? It is because you can alternate T1 attacks on bosses to get +20 percent damage...
And, unless I am completely wrong, all the above ALSO stacks with Fiery Embrace, because the mechanics are different. How does +65 percent damage feel?
Oh yeah, it feels NICE.
Add in the buff to Consume, and the effects of SERIOUS recharge builds...
All the folks talking about how Brutes are going to displace Tanks don't yet realize exactly how much buff Tanks got here. Brutes should be feeling nervous.

Brutes get all the changes to Fiery Aura as well, sans Bruising. But Bruising was probably a needed boost to Tanks, given how everyone shouts about Brutes and their offense.|

Don't get me wrong, Castle! I love the changes! I'm just having to figure out how to rework my build to accommodate them, heh.

while im glad the fear is gone...im not going to be jumping for joy till i actually get to try it. if seen this before and wont get to excited . my fire brute has always had burn thanks to the immob in the PP. so the fear was never an issue. but now...less dmg. i could do ticks of 12 on my brute, with fe,rage and fury...but whats the dmg on tanks? anyone know the actual dmg tick??
40 50s so far.
if you dont like me....i dont really care.
respect is earned , never given
The damage should work out to be better than the fear version because mobs dont run out of the patch. I dont have exact numbers on me atm.

Fiery Aura and Fire Manipulation
* Burn
* Increased Initial Damage from scale 0.84 to scale 1.44
* Increased Damage per tick from scale 0.3 to scale 0.6
* Added To Hit check for Initial Damage
-edit, I would try it first, especially coupled with FE before commenting on how cutting the tick damage possibly gimped Burn, because it's quite effective now regardless.
my problem would be getting burn and it doing as much dmg as rain of fire...that would be totally worthless in my book.

Well, the effect on five targets is going to be quite noticeable. The initial tick is stronger than Combustion, and then you have all the ticks after that. So it won't slam quite as hard as FSC at the start, but close. I'm assuming that if any of the initial targets drop, some others can get caught in the burn patch's ticks, at least. So that's a lot of nice, there.
Burn won't affect as many targets as rain of fire, though. If you need a control power of sorts on your Blaster, it'll work better. Damage is about the same, probably, if most of your targets are going to be in Rain of Fire the whole time (if I'm reading CoD right). I always figured Burn is a bit tough to use on a Blaster, anyway.

Ok, I got a 50 Fire/SS/Body. He sucks soo much. I haven't really put in a ton of effort into him because, when they changed burn to fear, it got me all po'd so i never slotted him when HO's were yesterdays things. Anyone have a build for farming where I wont have the worlds worst endurance? Thanks guys!

Also Fiery Embrace now adds ~45% extra fire damage to all attacks for 20 seconds and this value can be improved by damage buffs.
I made myself a Fire/DB tanker with the specific understanding that Fire is full of skippable powers, so it's a good fit to a demanding secondary like Dual Blades. I did eventually take Temperature Protection and RotP late in the build, knowing they would not eat precious slots. Fire is not Invulnerability, where you get more slots than you know what to do with sometimes. Skipping them for Burn and Fiery Embrace may be workable, but I'd probably want to slot those powers if I take them.
