Burn no longer has a fear, so mobs don't instantly flee when you drop it. However, they still respond to it like they do all patches and eventually try to get away from the pain. Since most of the damage was moved up front, its not really a big problem. Just be sure to use Burn as your last AoE, instead of your first, and that should help you out.
Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.
Well, I slotted it up as I leveled and only use it last now. It still scatters what it doesnt kill, but Im getting a feel for how to use it with Katana. I was pushing it at 0/8 and went back down to -1/8 as I accumulate some of the set pieces I am looking for via AE tickets.
Thanks for the input Strato
Made a Kin/Fire, was having fun, then decided it was a bit squishy for my tastes. Remade as Kat/Fire. Was humming along swimmingly, until I just got Burn. I know the fear was removed, but that dot seems to send the running just as bad. I was excited about the Lotus Drops, Flashing Steel, Burn combo. Thing is, it seems to be scattering them so badly, Im dying on my lttle lvling farm from all the scatter and actually killing slower most times.
I have read what the AI is doing from the running threads, but am quickly becomming disenchanted by Burn. I didnt seem to have this issue before with Kin, but maybe it was its much slower killing speed of mobs?
Will this be an ongoing headache? Im really loving Katana and have a nice concept, but am wondering about rerolling again as Kat/? or Making a BS/Shield that Im reading so much on of late.
Any input from Kat/Fire's or anything/Fire for that matter on the Burn issue? Seems like what I have read about Spines/Fire is that folks are having similar issues?
Thanks for any help or input.
