Fiery Embrace?

Reading old patch notes trying to catch up on things and saw this was changed. It now adds a fire damage component to attacks? I tried looking at in game to get exact information but the detailed information is just a blank page. I hope someone can answer these questions:

1) What is the duration now? It used to be like 10 seconds 60% damage and like 30 seconds fire damage increase.

2) How exactly does the damage bonus get added on? Ie if an attack does 100 damage, what is the damage bonus from fire? Does this bonus allow you to go above the damage cap? IE Scrapper has a 500% damage cap, an attack that does 100 damage would deal 500 damage at the damage cap. Would this added bonus allow you to go over?

3) How does it effect fire attacks? What is the bonus?

4) What about the Dominator version from Fire Assault? How does it work now?

Last things 1st the Domnator version was renamed Embrace of Fire and acts in the same fashion as the old Fiery Embrace with no change.

for Brutes, Scrappers and Tankers all attacks were remade to have an additional chance for fire damage added. This is a 0% chance for damage. When you hit Fiery Embrace it makes them into a 100% chance.

The damage amount is around 45% of the damage of the power. Fully able to be buffed and effected by enhancements in the powers and outside damage buff.. This lasts for 30 seconds.

Since this is a Chance for damage much like a crit or a proc it will stuff happen even at the damage cap.

All IIRC, haven't played my fire tank recently
(also based on tank version not scrapper, brute)

20 secs, adds a fire proc (100% chance of firing) to each attack.

Proc is not (IIRC) based on the attacks damage, much like other procs are not.

PVP effects are the same as the original power.

a flat % of the damage the attack does is added as fire.

If you go into the detailed information of all the attacks, it will tell you how much damage extra it does.

It looks like it was programed so that all the relevant melee powers had a "if player has Fiery Embrace then..." rather than the power itself telling each attack what damage to add.

Technically, no, it doesn't let you go beyond the damage cap.
IT's bonus damage, not a damage bonus, and it is affected by damage bonuses.

And I wouldn't call it a proc. Unless you count Dual Pistols as a proc set (every power in Dual Pistols uses the same mechanic for enabling the different damage types and effects.)

Tomax got it nicely shown on all fiery embrace buffable powers (melee set of brute and tanker etc).

For example:
http://tomax.cohtitan.com/data/power...attle_Axe.Gash

•44.49 Lethal damage PvE only
•20.02 Fire damage (0% chance)

When you hit fiery embrace, the 0% becomes a 100% chance.

I believe on one of the old dev talks about Dual pistols, they did say the entire 'clip swap' was based on 0% and 100% procs. The suppressive fire has 100% chance of stun and 0% chance of hold, if you select a clip, it will swap to the right 100% chance. (-100% stun, +100% hold), same for the damage.

(kinda like how stealth works from the run IO, if just gives 100% proc chance once activated).
