Burn

This thread is specifically about the power "Burn" from the Fiery Aura powerset.

Now, we all know the buff to Burn has made it an astounding attack, especially now that the Fear component is no longer an issue. However, on my last couple of farming runs, i've noticed mobs running out of my Burn. More so Bosses than anything, (but that's probably because all the Lieuts and Minions die before they can run).

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Are you a scrapper?


They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

This is an important question.

Tankers and Brutes have a taunt component in their Blazing Aura that will keep things on them. Scrappers lack that taunt aura in their Blazing Aura.

Things that won't run from a Brute or Tank will run from a Scrapper because the damage Burn deals overpowers their desire to kill you. Most things will run away when you deal enough damage in a short enough period of time if you give them the chance to.

Indeed. Turns out, people don't like being lit on fire. While I can't back up this claim with scientific data, I feel it is a solid theory which also applies to pixel-based fascists and swamp monsters.

That's crazy talk.
