Burn for Scrappers

Okay I have been playing my Spines/Fire a lot since i18 because of the burn changes but I noticed something immediatly...Burn was missing now. So I immediatly assume I can now slot it for accuracy right? Well...I can't. Then I look into it and see brutes and tankers can now slot it for accuracy. So I sent in a petition thinking it was a buy and I got the response, "Please bring all questions to the player question forums, thank you have a good day!" Which has nothing at all to do with me sending a message that says, "Scrapper's Burn is not accepting accuracy enhancements like the Brute and Tanker version."

So I guess my question is...is this a bug or did the Devs just decide to screw over Scrappers with this change?

Bug. For now, the only way to get around this problem is Accuracy through IOs and global Accuracy/ToHit bonuses.

Speaking of burn, do both the patch and initial AoE have a 5 target max, or is there a proper 10 target limit on the initial damage, or what? I still don't wanna waste my time on it if it can only ever hit 5 targets.

Five dead targets right out of the gate is something you don't really want to skip.

Burn could always miss. It just ticked so fast (5 times a second) you likely never even noticed it.

Does it not take PbAOE sets? If it does (I know the Tanker version does, as I picked it up again on my main, a Fire/Fire Tank), then you can get accuracy that way.

But yeah, you definitely should fit this in if you can... my tank was good for AOE before with Combustion and FSC. Took out Combustion and grabbed Burn and... yeah. Makes the old setup look weak.

It's gonna be more than 5. As soon as something dies, which will be well before Burn finishes, it'll start burning someone new in range, just with a lower duration.

On my Fire/Fire with the way Burn is set up now, I can give some forgiveness that Scrappers got Cremate instead of Combustion. My Fire/* Scrappers still grumble a little bit.

I have it slotted with obliteration and I can tell you right now it isn't recieiving the bonuses to accuracy. Not in any visable way and in a purely subjective way it misses more often than it hits.

I love the change I just want to see it fixed.
