XenMaster Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Since her rework, im thinking why theres no Ember in sortie. Isnt that more nerf to her crowd control WoF build? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OvisCaedo Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I guess her 2 probably can still add a lot of damage, but I'm not sure how much that's worth when so many options exist for doing excessive damage anyhow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvelous_A Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Nothing. Her abilities simply don't do anything on high level, if they do, they are very situational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSG501 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Her 2 might be able to work for crowd control but there are better options for that in my opinion. The rework basically screwed over a build based around firequake and CC, which actually works pretty well at high levels imo, due to the range decreasing over time, that range nerf hurts. DE could have easily fixed this with a simple change to firequake (remove the range decrease and half damage output) but unfortunately DE didn't take any notice of us when it came to the ember rework (we told them the issues before it was even put in game...) and we ended up having a rework which failed to fix the issue it set out to fix (low level kill everything), still has no high level scaling and removed/stopped the one build for ember nobody complained about (firequake cc builds) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinKenshin Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 She has almost no role in high lvls, you’re suppose to play her in low lvl missions, even her description ingame says that somewhat At best you can make her a support but that’s about it. She’s not meant more high lvls and that’s totally fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially this, when you look past the legitimate limitations mentioned above. You have to stack her powers. Use fire-based weapons with accelerant on Sortie Enemies with High armor/Physical resistance. Understand how her 3, 2/accelerant, Fire Weapons, and her 4 stack. Using the Firequake Augment for knockdown gives a similar CC/Aggro delay to Nyx’s Chaos, But requires a bit more management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheliel Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 can't take Ember in a simple sortie? not her problem entirely wof can disable spy lasers, 2 can stun, augments can cc or support also visit the "how to un-squishy" topic to survive her with and then stack strength mods. artax can help her target her wof too, along with some defensive parkour she can still cope sorties 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't, as evidenced by your "un-squishy frames" thread. Spreading misinformation is way worse than just staying silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trst Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) Light CC and "damage". But since heat damage and status are both bad she's really just left with light CC. While most other frames offer a similar amount of CC if not more or at least more "practical" forms of CC so... Basically her role in Sorties is to be played by people who realize you don't need to always use the "best" loadout for everything or people that just want to play Ember. edit: I'd also like to argue that "pre-nerf" Ember wasn't a good frame or at the least she'd be viewed equally as bad currently. She was "better" but that's like saying a car that's been totaled is better than another equally totaled car because the paint was scratched less.

Hypernaut1 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) There's no huge difference between Ember now and before. She's actually been buffed. WoF was never some great high level CC that people tried to make it out to be, it was merely decent at best. definitely not some major game changer compared to what she can do now. And remember, if you recast you have original range...so basically all you need to do when you need that "awesome" ol school Ember CC in a pinch is recast, and it'll hit 5 targets at once, compared to just passively running around forever with it hitting 1-2 enemies per second. I still don't get why people act like it was some kind of god aura perma-CC ability. If you're bad with Ember now, there's no way you were any good with her before.

Her 1 is decent at locking down distant choke points or stunning a small group while you reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgabor Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Like others said, WoF still works just fine in fissures with Overextended. As for high levels, the frame is usable as a buff support and for killing Infested trash mobs but it's not particularly good at anything. Right now it's the kind of frame you pick for the lolz when you don't feel like picking anything else because it gives some bonus for fire damage for little effort, it's like current Ash but with fire damage.

It takes a charged fireball and 2.5 seconds to do that and copying from wiki Charge rate is affected by mods that increase casting speed (e.g. Natural Talent). The charge rate can be reduced to a minimum cap of 1.5 seconds. I guess it's pretty safe to assume over half of whoever plays ember casts with 2.5 seconds since all of her other abilities are almost instant cast) Honestly if I found myself in the middle of reloading and my options are charged fireball VS something else I'd rather pick the second option, maybe cast fireblast to smash away enemies even if it breaks reloading and charging doesn't. Personally I'd find it best to jump out of the way, take cover, reload, re-engage Edited December 12, 2018 by Olphalarepth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
