SR/MA Tank (Fiery Embrace?!?)

OK..

I'm playing a SR/MA tank, yet under the detailed info for me MA powers it keeps mentioning extra fire damage from fiery embrace.. What the!? Why is that there?

Also, I don't see info on bruising for the tier 1 attack? Isn't that usually listed? It is the tier one that always has the bruising, correct?

Anyone know what is going on here?

Yeah the fiery embrace thing I found odd, but bruising is not listed on any tier 1 attack, because it is listed and described in your inherent power Gauntlet.

OK. Good to know the bruising not being listed is normal. Although, most other ATs have their inherent abilities also spelled out in the individual powers (scrappers crits, controllers containment, tanks auto taunt, blasters damage bonus, etc), but *shrugs* oh well, whatever...

But the fiery embrace is just plain weird... Is the fiery embrace effect now listed for every tank secondary powerset, just in case of FA as the primary, or is it only MA that gets this special treatment?

Because Fiery Embrace now causes attacks to deal additional fire damage, rather just increasing fire damage by lots and non-fire damage by a little bit, it counts as a property of the attack rather than as a property of Fiery Embrace. It's just a property that most combinations cannot actually access, so just ignore it.

Fiery Embrace used to be a damage buff that interacted with all your other powers that way.

Nowadays, Fiery Embrace simply activates a "mode" on your character. Each of the attack powers had to be modified to include what to do in this mode.
