You make my head hurt.
Doom.
Yep.
This is really doom.
/sigh
wall of text is bad m'k
Fulcrum Shift has been changed 2 times already from what I've read.
Also, Fire Control used to have WAY more Fire Imps than they do now, not to mention they have 1 attack, no resistances and a glass jaw. Pleaes do not nerf herd when you have 0 idea of what you're speaking of.
I believe there was a 'pet nerf' way back so at least noe there are only 3 imp and not 3 spawns of 3 [9].
didnt it used to be, a fire controller got 5 imps instead of just three ? but i do agree if they would just quit with the senseless nerfing it would be better.

How is this a player question? Technically it asks a question I suppose:

But it seems to be for a dev response, which doesn't happen in the Player Questions category (questions to players, from players).
Also the OP refers to "facts"

Half my global don't even light up cause of these facts.

But I didn't see any facts in his post; only a bunch of objective comments.
I'm confused. 
What a waste of time. 1 star.
You do realize the have nerfed fire control more than once right? They used to get more than one set and they used to spawn at the same level as the player but now they are -1 level.
Calling for nerfing is against forum rules and is stupid considering the past nerfs to the set in the first place.
Shut down the computer, go to the front door and walk outside, make sure you do that daily. 
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

I think it was 9-12 they could have out at once, given that they waited a LONG time for it to recharge
I occasionally (usually from the same troller) saw over 15. Depended a lot on their charge slotting, which would be pre-ED of course

Didn't they JUST do this by making imps ignore recharge?
A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!
Off the top of my head
Fire control:
Multi-imps reduced to 3
Imps reduced by 1 level
AOE hold reduced in duration and recharge
Bonfire - Knockback made unaffected by enh/buffs to fix an exploit (perma bouncing higher levels on the spot)
Imp attacks no longer affected by recharge
Kinetics:
Fulcrum shift vastly affected by target cap (all AOE powers were but a single FS can no longer damage cap the entire team)
I recall FS being reduced in effect for controllers, the buff originally being the same as defenders, but I dont recall exactly when.
ohh
edit to add epic powers reduced in base damage, at least in part so they dont get crazy strong with fulcrum shift

Recharge became irrelevant in this situation. When you summon new imps, it kills the old ones.

ok then what you guys are sayin that if they did change the fire controller ability...then people would still play like they have been? i doubt it...i'm just sayin i heard about the radius of dominator shockwave...they give one respec after you solid build a toon then you gotta pay for a respec even after the fact you did respec trial and it still takes me about 4 respecs just to wipe out w/e i may have in the toon
also for all of you really got something smart to say...don't turn this into a personal issue cause this is just a game..i fight in real life and i doubt any of you kids i would pay attention to.

Do the respec right the first time and you dont have to do another. Nerfs never bothered me any in this game, so you can't speak for me.
If you dont like it you can take your money and run.
And I have been a martial artist for 27 years. I dont think you would have much of a chance with me....kid.

[/ QUOTE ]CEM means the recent change to make ALL pets immune to recharge buffs, meaning slotting */Rech IOs into your Summon Imps can't make them attack faster.

What are you talking about?
You get
1 vet respec per 12 months
upto 3 earned from trials
Then 1 free per issue*
Plus:
Recipes available on Wents
Real life option to pay
*past performance is no guaruntee of future, but its pretty likely to continue
If the recipes are valuable and you wish to move them, then buy the respec recipes. If they aren't 'worth' the cost of a respec recipe, then they obviously are not valuable.

Just noticed this ...I'm pretty sure they're talking about how fast the imp's attacks recharge, rather than how fast the imps themselves recharge

You are correct, cause the imps was only using one attack because it recharged so fast.
It is a good fix(not nerf) not a bad one. It makes it so pets cycle through thier attacks now unlike before.
To the OP: it's a bad idea to try to pass off a rant as a question. Instead, warn people that what they're about to read is a rant. You actually have a chance for some supportive responses that way. People don't like couched rants.
Also, employ breaks in paragraphs. If you find yourself too worked up to break your thoughts up into bite-sized chunks, you probably ought to calm down before you proceed.
Now, as to the subject at hand: I have a friend with a 50 fire/kin. He has some high-level Portal mission that he uses to farm clumps of demons standing around, to all appearances discussing the weather (I'm told they're alternate-universe CoT).
I gotta say, this guy does just rip right through'em all on his lonesome without any semblance of risk. They're conning orange and red to him, so it's pretty darned impressive to behold.
Not advocating a nerf or anything--but yowza!

good for you, you want a cookie? I tend it ignore mooks too.
I can't tell from your post whether you are advocating changes to fire/kins or opposing them. On the one hand, you're complaining about powersets becing changed too often, and on the other, you're complaining that fire/kin has been pretty much alone?
(Aside from the changes Catwhoorg listed, of course.)
OK can some developer or whoever explain this to me? all of these toons they keep changing damage and what not but there is yet one toon i ain't seen nobody did nothing to at all....city of heroes fire kinetics controller. you mean to tell me out of all toons like a dominator with the power shockwave to be changed in radius but you can't make any changes to fulcrum shift? I hardly play the game anymore cause everytime I go to play it's something new for no obvious reason. Half my global don't even light up cause of these facts. Just like they say "purple recipes" are random but I have toons like others seem to get the drop repeat on the team lol. yeah i understand they have bugs and all that jazz and i'm not complaining, but about every account has a fire kinetic controller. but nooooo it's ok...i just want to see some changes with the toon and i think the reason why is cause they know they will lose even more people. i read something about how they changed pvp to make it equal for all archetypes, but who in this game actually do pvp on a fire kinetics controllers? i've seen fire psi pvp but you wanna change the dominator to give more power and the radius of a foot stomp of a brute? issue 15 and fulcrum shift has no type of adjustment and we have damage point? which brings another point, people that are like level 30 make a team to kill level 50+ in cap and then when they hit 50 they don't even know what powers to pick or slot it. i mean yeah you play it how you want, but when someone send me a tell and ask me "hey do you have rest slotted any" we have a prob. anyways, like i was saying though, how is it that fire kinetics controller gets all this glamour and fame, but all these other toons it's "nerfed" thank you come again! type of ordeal. if you guys can "change" just the power "shockwave" on a dominator...why can't they change how many imps a fire controller has?
