Ember 2.0 [A New Hope]

[TheRipper7]

sounds rather intresting

[DeadScream]

For people saying 9 enemies would be too much : This skill is called WORLD on fire. 
 

Why would I use it if I can't set the world on fire ? 

Even without being a moving ability, it should be a giant AoE with true damage to every enemy inside it, not only meteors spinning around and hitting three enemies at a time, making them laugh if they are not infested è__é

I would like to bring up this thread because, let's be honest, Ember still needs love... no wait... it needs even more love now that dmg 2.0 is out!!

Here are my opinions for Ember - take them for what they're worth. I acknowledge ahead of time that other people may not see Ember the same way I do, so your take could certainly vary.

Ember, in my mind, should be the flickering flame - scorching enemies in an unbroken dance of cleansing fire. She is not a tank - she is a rapid, scorching force that should rapidly disrupt enemy groups, and utterly incinerate those too weak to stand in her flames for more than a moment.

Bring her base speed up to 1.2. She is supposed to be a fast, darting causer of mayhem. And fire.

Keep her health, armor, and shields as-is - that's fine. Again, not a tank.

Keep her energy as-is. Trust me, I'm getting there.

Ability 1: Scorch (25 energy). A hit-scan ability (no projectile, instant effect) that forces an enemy into "AUGH I'M BURNING" animation for 1/3/5 seconds, and causes 100/200/300 Fire damage. If cast on an enemy a Frost frame has Frozen or is affected by the Cold status effect, the enemy instead takes 250/500/750 Blast Damage with a 100% status chance. Duration, Range, and Damage affected by mods.

Ability 2: Dragon's Breath Rounds (50 energy). Causes all projectile weapons you use and your allies use to gain +10%/+20%/+30% Fire damage for 3/7/10 seconds. Enemies a Frost frame has Frozen or affected by the Cold status effect take double damage when shot by this effect. Duration and Damage expandable by mods.

Ability 3: Conflagration (50 energy). The Ember rapidly punches the ground, creating a rapidly expanding circle of fire that blasts outward in a radius of 10m/20m/30m, causing 250/500/750 Fire Damage and 250/500/750 Impact Damage to all enemies caught within the area of effect, with a 50% status chance. If an enemy a Frost frame has Frozen or has an active Cold status effect is within the area of affect before casting, that enemy and all enemies within a 3m/5m/10m radius instead takes 500/1000/1500 Blast Damage. Range and Damage expandable by mods.

Ability 4: World On Fire (100 energy). A rapidly cast ability by the Ember, the Ember flicks a bolt of fire at an enemy, which causes 500/750/1000 Fire Damage per second with a 50% status chance for 3/4/5 seconds. While affected by this unnatural fire, any enemy within a radius of 5m/7m/10m to the enemy affected will also catch on fire, with the same damage and status chance. This continues until there are no further enemies within range. Enemies a Frost frame has Frozen or with the Cold status effect before being affected by World On Fire will take 1000/2000/3000 Blast damage with a 100% status chance. Damage, Duration, and Range affected by mods.
