Fire/Fire questions

It's been a while since I've taken my Fire/Fire out for a spin, so I was curious if any changes had been made that I need to be aware of.

In particular, I was curious if the make-enemies-scatter Fear Effect had ever been removed from Rain of Fire (in which case I might pick it up), or if Hot Feet ever got changed to allow activation or effectiveness on a perma-hover character.

Of course, anything else I should know would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Nope, Rain of Fire is the same. BUT...blasters have access to AoE immobilizes by going villain and running a Patron arc, so you can get more use out of it that way.

Burn is now an effective attack power, as the fear in it was removed.

Hot Feet cannot be activated while in the air, but it does stay on if you have it running while flying. I don't know if it actually damages enemies, but it will remain active.

Indeed it does.

In my experience playing a fire^3 blaster, stuff doesn't live long enough for enemies to make it out of Rain of Fire. They generally run in, "oh noes we're on fire" and start to crawl away at a slowed rate, then keel over due to the other AoEs before they can escape. Try the wall in Cimerora for mass-burning enjoyment.

Uh huh. More so if you're standing there with HotFeet active, too.
