Fiery Embrace, Alpha Slot Questions, Just random things

On Fiery Aura's Fiery Embrace power, I notice the damage bonus you get is modified by the base damage of the power. For example, Energy Punch would do lets say 20 additional fire damage while an ET would do like 80.

My first question is, is this modified by damage bonuses or enhancement bonuses at all? I would try and test this but sadly my only fire aura character is on test server which is down.

My second question is a bit unrelated but its about alpha slots. The alpha set is a global bonus, how does it work with the other Incarnate Powers? From what I understand, only the +DMG Alpha effects the other incarnate powers. Does this include the power that grants a moderate fire damage to your attacks?

Going off that question, is the fire proc Incarnate power modified by the base damage of an attack? Or is it a flat value?

Edit: Another question completely unrelated, where can I host my Avatar picture? I've had like 3 different places now and they all keep getting deleted or something. Thanks.

Fiery Embrace increases the base damage of a power. That increase in base damage is a fixed amount, but, +damage buffs increase your damage by a percentage of the base damage, so it has a multiplicative effect instead of an additive (like Build Up would). It's also a fixed attribute of the powers that are modified (i.e. all your attacks have a 'if Fiery Embrace, do X amount of extra fire damage' comonent).

The +Damage alpha increases the damage of Judgement. I don't believe any other incarante abilities are impacted by Alpha.

Reactive adds proc damage, so it's not impacted by any sort of +damage.

Flat value, like IO procs. It's why procs are wonderful in buzzsaw chains.


Also, the soon-to-be-released Archetype "Origin" Invention (?) sets will have a specific proc for each AT... which will fire at a fixed number of times per minute (so that it's as effective in a slow recharging power as a fast recharging power, since it's usually applies a character-wide effect, like adding Fury for Brutes).

I'm reasonably certain that all aspects of the Alpha Slot Boosts except for the +Recharge on the Spiritual line effect Judgement, Lore, and Destiny.
