Because Nuke + Catch a Breath + Transference is soo hard

wut

too long?

Honestly, If you were only concerned about balance.. you would have picked an underpowered set to pick holes in.

I'm off to play my strong and pretty.

Why would fire cause critters to slow?

If I set you on fire would you crawl to a pool of water or try and get there as fast as possible?

Bonfire, Rain of Fire and Burn all have this effect. It's not like the Fiery Aura set got singled out here. It's Fire counterparts in the blaster, corruptor, dominator and controller AT's got stung with this little feat of developer thinking aswell.


Personally I don't think there is a balance issue in the FA set. Like the people above, I feel that if you really have to point fingers, point them at SD. But then again, I think the SD set is fine the way it is and comparing the two is like comparing apples to oranges. Sure they're both fruit, but my gawd do they taste different.

But at least you caught on to one thing I was trying to point out: Don't take it if you don't like it.

If your not happy with Burn because of the scatter, don't take it. Worried about loosing your immobilization protection by not having burn; take combat jumping like fire tanks have been doing since the dawn of time. But don't tell me that if I light a bonfire under your ***, your going stand there.

Let me get this straight....


Your upset because the only way Fire Aura can compete with Shield Defense in terms of DPS is to take Burn which causes critters to run away from you for 2 seconds then back to you?

Personally, I still feel that FA is one of the best secondaries for PvE melee. From time to time I still farm with my Fire/Fire/Fire tank and my SS/Fire/Mace Brute. The scattering effect of Burn can be easily fixed:

- On a Brute by getting an AoE Immobilize from a patron.

- On a Scrapper or Tank by teaming with someone with an AoE Immobilize.

This is a multi-player game based around teaming, isn't it?

Or another option is that you could use the free server transfers at the moment to move characters that you don't play anymore off server to make room for your future altitis.

gunna take a stab in the dark here and say... "dont bother" with that toon in pvp

well in that case, seeing that you like soloing and defenders i would say try kin/ice

are you sure you don't wanna make a kintroller instead?

Am I too late for the rooting?
