Burn always was buffed by BU, Assault, FE, insp etc.
I don't believe that has changed.
Taking It On the Chin I-16 Tanker Guide
Repeat Offenders
It has changed. I made a fire/ice tank 3 years ago and got him to lvl 43, When they changed burn. I shelved him in hopes they would put it back, and now they have. Ins, FE, and Assault have NO effect on the damage output of Burn. i attacked a boss with Burn, then Burn+3 rages, then Burn+3 rages+FE. all 3 attacks did the same amount of DOT at the same rate. Any idea?

lvl 50 Emp/Dark, lvl 50 Thug/Pain, lvl 50 Fire/Shld, lvl 48 Ill/Rad
lvl 45 BS/Regen lvl 42 Ice/EM
This is because the DoT remains unchanged, most of the damage now comes from a frontload which is about 3/4 of the damage that burn puts out.
Frontload? I am not familiar with this term. Whats the Frontload and how does it effect Burn? I also thogh the dot was like .20 or something like that so even if yo doubled it it would still be under 1.0 there for wouldnt show a change on the DOT. (the .20 was just a excample i dont know what the damage is actually)

Frontloaded means a good portion of the damage (I think a good 75-80%) hit as soon as the patch is dropped then the DoT for the remainder of the damage. And YEs it is affected by Buildup and FE, I can tell just by looking at the numbers as they pop up.

FE and BU have buffed Burn for more for over 2 years , maybe they changed it after you "shelved" your tank. Mine is 6 years old and he has never been shelved so I have lived through all the changes and nerfs
