SoulDust Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I used to be a real fan of ember but I kinda fell off when they reworked her second..anyways I had an idea about her third. It's honestly pretty useless unless it's against infested or a Loki disarmed the other two factions. So why not make it like this. Fire blast melts incoming fire that passes through the ring and reduces damage..while still doing the damage it does now to enemies that pass through it. It'd be a nice feature to make the skill more useful and give her a bit of utility, and plus it only makes sense. Opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoidPunch Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I like it. Although I prefer an entirely new skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IANOBW Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I just wish it worked similarly to the sargus ruk or arson eximus large range knockdown of fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKhaun Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 No. Defense powers don't belong on a glass cannon mage frame. Just needs a buff, and I don't understand why they have left it broken for so long. Seems like they could just give it a nudge to make it something useful until they find the perfect solution, whatever that may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)MoriartyHaaaiii Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 An armor reduction factor (IE melts armor of affected units for the duration) of say 50% would add great utility to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulDust Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 no an armor reduction would be stupid because no grineer or corpus just run into the ring, wihch is problem with it already. Not to mention all of embers powers are weak to begin with. She's useless past lower levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egg_Chen Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hmm, it is even useless against Infested, they just wait outside the fire most of the time. I vote give her the Eximus version, bigger range, knockdown, expands outwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCometCE Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'd say have it interact with her Fireball ability, make it split her fireball off into 3 fireballs or have some kind of auto-targeting if you fireball through fire blast. Personally I'm one of the few who enjoys placing tons of fireblasts with max duration, would hate to see the skill go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealPandemonium Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Fire Blast should have a mobility component added to it so that it's actually worth using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)CryoPariah Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Any change to ember right now would be a positive one; too bad they can't just copy Ruk's powers right onto her, that would be a great deal of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much. Not every squishy is a glass cannon. Best case scenario she's a 'mage' but not a 'glass cannon' because she's covered in utility. Worst case scenario she's supposed to be a glass cannon and she's super OP. Either way these aren't benchmarks for comparing Ember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
