As for Embers i see few, but as for Ember Prime, well, those are increasing.

 

Last night made a survival in Ceres with 3 Ember Prime, just my luck.

 

 

As for buff/nerf, can't say, i don't have it ^^ can't complain of something i don't know/play

There are many reasons (what other people think)

 

1. People think ember is weak, and that is kind of true since here very low health does not compensate for her DPS

 

2. People hate the accelerant change

 

3. Ember Prime looks 10x better so people are going for that first.

 

The truth is she is quite strong, she might actually be the most op after the nova nerf. Her accelerant ability is fantastic in combination with fireball. Here 3rd and 4th abilities kinda of suck though. The third one lasts long but does DoT. And the fourth one has good damage but does not last long... at all its probably the shortest (duration) ultimate cast in the game.

She's doing pretty good nowadays, although the days of tanking are long gone. Q_Q Overheat, I miss you.

[Kuestenjung]

I just put 3 Forma into my Ember Prime and like to play her against Infested.

 

I don´t think she needs a buff, although I would like if fire blast would be affected by range mods or at least a bit larger.

Nah man

She good

They just hide ' n

Well then its just me

Rng probably hates me :(

Good ember players use her first two abilities. Bad ones use just her ultimate.

2. People hate the accelerant change

 

Basically this.

 

Ember was designed and implemented as a pure offensive glass cannony type frame, but they gave her a defensive skill and that's what she became famous for min maxing. They took it away and replaced it with Accelerant so she could debuff and CC to better use her offense. Everyone got butthurt.

 

Her new Accelerant skill is flatly overpowered. Don't let the thread derail to discuss it when someone quotes me to argue, just go look at the numbers on the wiki and realize it applies to fire damage from guns as well.

 

The problem is that her #3 skill has a very low max target count, her #1 skill is just not strong enough to lean on, and her #4 skill has a horrendously long cast time and is very mod intensive. It's just a design and history that has tied itself in knots and made her unpopular despite nothing being wrong with her.

 

Any day now her #4 will be made into a toggle, and she'll make a CRAZY comeback as it becomes trivially easy to just leave that on and tap Accelerant as needed.

Time to bring back the RIP overheat threads?!?

 

Ah the good ole days of warframe when people were less spammy on the threads about nerfs.

[Cybernetix]

A good ember will bring accelerant and weapons with fire damage. Fire blast is a bit meh, fireball is reasonable vs accelerant-coated enemies and world on fire is good but heavily reliant on mods.

 

The vast majority of people are still crying about overheat being taken away and are unable to adapt.

Can I please know what Overheat does?

This is exactly me, as an Ember player.

[Utarious]

A good ember will bring accelerant and weapons with fire damage.

This worked? I never noticed a difference.

 

Now I may re-get her.

Not in my eyes! 

[Sixty5]

I whipped out my Ember Prime a little while back to test and see how good she really is.

 

For any normal content she is a monster, the amount of Firepower (pun intended) she brings to a fight is amazing. Stacking up 150% fire damage on your gun also works rather well with the debuff accelerant gives.

 

Lots of fun to play, and very viable for most content is my opinion on her, the only problem I had was burning through my Energy pool, max efficiency does make up for that a bit though. Meh, more people need to run Siphon

[AntLion]

Ember's 3rd and 4th skills need some rework. Also Accelerant would be much useful if it stunned enemies longer than 1 sec.

Ult not in name, but in action.

[Genomax]

Ember's Accelerant is very potent right now, and she's a pretty fun frame to play. Only reason I don't use her as much is because I'm typically in mastery grind mode all the time and need experience on my weapons rather than my frames.

[Paradoxbomb]

Ember's my go to character for Infested, mainly because I like putting an Ignis to their warped faces and going to town. I never used her before the Overheat removal, but I think I would still prefer Accelerant over it. I mean 500% more fire damage is pretty brutal, especially with the aforementioned Ignis, and it makes Ember deal sick damage like she was meant to, rather than just steal Rhino's job.

 

That being said though, they could just add some damage reduction to World on Fire and make everyone happy.

I see more people play Ember than Vauban, Saryn or Banshee... for example.

I love using my Ember P. against low levels Infected, but not against anything else really,..

And the fact that she`s not resistant to fire herself, is just silly,..

If only more people were like you...

 

On topic, I love my Ember, I player her quite a bit. I'm all for buffs but as she is, I find her quite good fun to mess about with.
