Ok since 18 went live I have found a number of bugs that I have chocked up to bug reports but I have yet to get any feedback on them from players or devs so I figured Id toss em up here and see if anyone knows anything else about them.

1st : Burns initial damage is being delt back to the blaster casting burn and is equal to the damage delt to enemies. I was buffed up with BU + AIM + some buffs from teammates and was able to do around 700 damage to myself. Thats kinda a problem. I checked on tanks and brutes and neither had this problem so it appears to be a blaster only issue. Not sure if the fact that my blaster is red aligned has anything to do with it.

2nd : Upon becomming a villain my blaster recieved "Countdown to Frenzy", I finished the patron missions and used the ingame rewarded respec. Upon finishing the respec I was again give "Countdown to Frenzy" AND was automatically given "Frenzy".

There was another one but I cant remember what it was ill have to check my log. Anyway any confirmation on those bugs?

Buggerall, I just made a topic about the Blaster Burn issue without seeing this topic. I have tested to see how it's working and it seems to be working as follows:

  • It does the initial new front-loaded damage to my character upon use.
  • It does the initial new front-loaded damage to enemies caught within it's radius.
  • It does NOT then do the following DoT damage to my character. It DOES do the additional DoT damage to surrounding enemies.
  • It still frees me from Immobilization effects (I think this is probably where the bug lies).
  • It is still applying its defiance buff correctly.
  • Upon it's use I register a Power Icon for burn featuring the same numbers as the power itself does when "info'd". However in this one the front-loaded damage number is halved.
  • When surrounded by 5 enemies or more (new!Burn's target cap) the self damage does NOT reliably occur (sometimes, sometimes not). Any less than 5 enemies within its radius or none at all leads me to take damage.
  • Verified to be occurring on other Blaster characters with different Primary powersets.
  • The damage applied to the player character is affected by outside damage buffs (Build Up, Aim, etc).
  • The damage applied to the player character is affected by damage resistance variance.
  • I am able to kill myself with overuse of the power.

I can also completely confirm your second bug as I just bugged it ingame myself. I just switched my Blaster's alignment to villain today and completed a Patron arc. Upon completion I immediately respecced. I was granted the (working) Frenzy power once the respec was complete with no wait time.
