Ember Rework idea. (May add art later, on my to do list)

[Teoarrk]

 

Just as a starting note: this is taken from a longer document on Google Docs, but this is the only section that is ready now.

Goals of this post:

• To present a concept for Ember that will make her more dynamic
• To modernise her kit.
• To make her fit more in line with DE's planned changes to DPS frames.

Not goals of this post:

• To tread on anyone's toes
• To make anyone have a bad day
• To make anyone from the Hunting game mode thread think that I've stopped drawing. I'm learning the basics again. Anatomy is a lot harder than I remember.

To start off with, I would not change the base stats of Ember or Ember Prime. They are fine as is. Now, for the changes.

Passive: Carnot Timbre

Just as the primordial Archimedian Carnot described, an ideal heat engine does not lose energy to it’s surroundings. Our creation gains energy from its surroundings, far surpassing the presumptions of that ancient mind.

All enemies killed with heat damage by either Ember or allies in Affinity range add 1 energy to Ember.

 

Passive: Mote of Agni

Even the hunger of that ancient fire have been tamed by Orokin ingenuity and given an eternal host.

Alt Name and description:

Passive: Perfect Black Body 

Spoiler

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_body

An engine of idealised purpose meets the demands of its task.

Ember has a scale, 1 to Overheat.

To rise on the scale, you need to use an ability. To lower, you need to stop using abilities for 10 seconds.

This passive ties into how strong Ember's abilities are and some of her other stats. Open the following spoiler tabs to see the effects.
