Fiery Embrace?

So, not only does the info on the power not tell you the buff that it gives, but if you go into your Combat Attributes your damage bonus doesn't even budge (although buildup certainly does.)

Power fail or description fail?

fiery embrace was changed to add a 100% chance of fire dmg proc on all your attack powers, so it wont show a dmg bonus anymore, but it will also allow you to surpass the dmg cap

The power doesn't affect your damage bonus at all. What is does is activate a second damage number on all your powers. It's most like Containment really, an additional damage entry in every power you have which is dependent on a condition (in this case that Fiery Embrace mode is on).

FE itself just activates "Fiery Embrace mode" for 20 seconds.

So it's a description fail really.

It varies. It's a percentage -- most people say around 40% -- of the damage the attack did.

Nah its better now because it places the proc on all attacks. Before it only boosted fire dmg unless I'm remembering incorrectly.

Its actually pretty good now. my /fire brutes made a huge improvement in performance with the changes.

It went from being essentially worthless on anyone not a FM to being one of the best self damage boosts in the game.

Well, I am a fire/fire scrapper, so it should have technically decreased my damage output quite a bit, since it was another build up that gave extra damage to all my attacks on top of it since I am all fire.

It's still better, for several reasons. One being that if you're at the damage cap, Fiery Embrace still adds damage now. Before, it didn't.

Just a note: Fire Melee isn't all fire dmg. Many of the attacks are split.

Fire Melee is the least to benefit from the change, but at the high end of dmg boosts the new FE far outperforms the old version.

Right, it breaks the rules and lets you do more damage than any other primary if you are using big buffs like a lot of inspirations or Fulcrum Shift.
