Tried that. Didn't work for me so I respec'd out of Ignite a looooong time ago.

Regular bosses aren't much of a problem, though - just the EBs. :/

Your Origin is just that: your origin. How you get your powers after starting out does not have to have anything to do with how you started out. If Batman can gain Technology powers (such as in Kingdom Come where his body is broken down after decades of crime fighting so that he has to resort to robot armies and power armor to continue) or Science & Magic powers (such as becoming immortal through the Science & Magic blend of the Lazarus Pit in Superman & Batman: Generations), then there's nothing wrong with your Natural Arachnos Soldier gaining Technology powers by having the backpack grafted onto his back.

Same goes for if they suddenly are able to fly or move at super speed (say, from the effects of being bombarded by the magical energies of Circle of Thorns' attacks or something about Cobra spit/venom triggered a post-Origin mutation). Your Origin doesn't have to be a straightjacket for your character's entire career.

Specifically, you can only carry a number of normal tips equal to the empty Public Fame circles you have, to a maximum of 3 normal tips (special ones, like Morality and Event tips do not count towards the limit), and no more normal tips will drop while you are at your current limit.

It's only a problem in the eyes of certain players who think they should never have to move once they pick a spot and on those who've become so addicted to AoE that they can no longer handle scatter.

...which is as it should be, especially for Corruptors.

ONLY if you just want to use Liquify as a knockdown patch.

Fire Blast might be stronger offensively, but Ice allows you to slot an LotG 7.5% rech, which is rather useful for the perma-PA.

Frozen Armor's defense, if you remember to turn it on (which I don't, most of the time :P), is actually fairly useful if your reflexes and observational skills aren't perfect, or if you're delayed because you were casting Ice Storm on the spawn or Radiation Infection on a nasty, and you don't manage to start recasting the Army the instant it's recharged (which has caused me to faceplant twice - both times from foes I'm fairly sure my 26% or so S/L def could've stopped if I'd remembered to turn on the Armor and popped one of the purples I was carrying ).

Liquify is too awesome to have a faster recharge. Besides, 5 minutes isn't so bad. Three L35 IOs gets it down to 2m33s and means you have to use it strategically rather than just spamming. Nothing wrong with that. Pair it with a set that you're going for massive recharge on anyways (say, Illusion Control where you want at least 200% global recharge) and you'll get it down to under 1m20s.

The only terrible thing about Gravity Control is how slow Propel animates (cut the animation down to 2s and reduce its damage accordingly) and blocks your view.

Only if the knockbacker is an idiot (doing stupid things like not blasting from directly above [especially with their AoEs] when they have Hover and blasting stuff directly around a Scrapper/Tanker/Brute when they don't, targetting through a S/T/B, attacking what a Stalker is clearly winding up for, not positioning themselves to have the KB happen towards the nearest wall, etc., especially if you don't kill the target on that or the next hit) or if the melee types on the team are extra-whiny and think that they shouldn't have to move around at all except to herd.

Otherwise, knockback is quite welcome.
