It does small smashing , large fire and 13 ticks of fire
Hi folks!
I'm working on a Fiery Aura tanker, and plan to take Burn. A couple questions, however. 1) The patch notes said that there is high initial damage, followed by a few ticks of damage. When I look at the details on the in-game power page, it still says 13 ticks of X damage over 10 seconds. The scrapper version's details have the initial burst, though. Which do I believe? |

2) According to paragonwiki, Burn, at least pre-i18, did not require accuracy enhancements and did full damage. Is this still true? When I read the patch notes, I did not see anything saying that it does need accuracy now, but a post in the tanker forums hinted that it does. |

3) I've never played a Fiery Aura tanker far enough to get burn, but from what I've heard, it does quite a bit of damage. When looking at the in-game details, however, it does less than scorch damage. Is this intended, and the only advantage for burn is that it is AoE? Or is it neglecting to include the initial burst? Thank you all in advance for your answers. |
14.4 smashing
138.2 Fire
7.2 x 13 ticks
total 246.2 damage
8.77 recharge with hasten and 6 Oblits +( 30% global recharge )
4.39 End
Compare this to FSC 190 damage and 7.02 recharge and 15.6 End , it is a keeper.
Thank you both for your answers!
