I just fiddled with Mid's for an idea of a build with Ninjutsu Secondary...hehe...Flaming Ninja Monkeys anyone Muha ha ha
So you want your target Deep Fried or Original Recipe 
Fire Melee is too heroic so it can't be proliferated.
>_>
<_<
Placate is recharged.
So no one has an interest in seeing Fire Melee added to the Stalker Primaries? I though some of you hard core stalkers would be interested in another primary that hopefully like electric melee could have some nice animations...like Elec's Assassin's Strike.
Any thoughts? The OP has a generally good idea on the subject and like the brute boards...if you petition hard enough, you just might get it added (cough, cough...Claws for example)
The problem is all the placating we do negates the aggro of any petitions we make. You'd have to Assassin's Post Castle after Buildup+saturated Against All Odds to get anyone's attention. But Stalkers will never get Shield Defense to pull it off T_T
When did Shield defense come into the conversation? Thought we were talking about Fire Melee as a primary. Shouldn't be a problem due to small DoTs...it's basically like Spines with a small Fire DoT instead of a Toxic DoT.
Ah, yes. Fire melee. For the silent, unseen killer.
Let's see. Produces bright light? Check.
Makes a very noticible sound? Check.
And wait, what's this? It also emits a very noticible amount of heat?
It's brilliant! And I thought Energy Melee was good.

Brutes got Claws because it was an easy port. The people asking for it all this time had nothing to do with it.

You underestimate the amount of feedback the devs use for their updates.

The DoTs don't really last that long, and if Spines can work with it's DoTs...why can't fire melee as a stalker primary?|

And as for "brightness", with the ability to re-color our powers...we can dull the look and make it so we don't stick out like a sore thumb.

If I can stand out in the open, shove a katana in some guys back, use an ability that makes him forget Im there, then shove the katana in his back AGAIN thus killing him (all while his friends 30 or so feet away just sit there not hearing this going on even though they could just be like "hey..bob, is that your blood? bob? bob?) then I can make belive that a flaming ninja can sneak around =)
Could always make Hide have something to do with heat ripples in the air.
It's not like Elec Armor/Melee is subtle either...
as soon as scrappers get EM....
No one goes there anymore, it's too crowded...

All I can say is that Burn from Hide would be hilarious! But seriously, FA would probably go through some pretty drastic changes if it was put on Stalkers.

I don't think they'd have to do anything drastic.
Naturally, Blazing Aura would be replaced by Hide, we'd get a new power to replace Burn, and they'd probably tone down Fiery Embrace, how much? I'm not sure...but if they kept Scrapper values...125% damage buff to fire type attacks...in addition to Build Up and a Critical from Hide? that would be DISGUSTING
<QR>
This thread is still going? I thought the entire community of stalkers already came to the conclusion that any other melee set left unproliferated would have been a billion times more kick *** than Broadsword...including Fire melee...no, especially Fire melee.
I still say all those players that say Broadsword is the bees knees would have loved Battle Axe way more. The damage would be like BS...but more! Seeing as that's all in BS's corner (except kick *** sword options), I think we were gypped out of getting Fire Melee this round.
I just wish there were more than 2 sets with powers like Parry.

I think the funny thing about that is alot of stalker players were hoping to give up Parry in exchange for Whirling Sword to give the set distinction from similar sets.|

I like unique powers. That's why one of my favorite powers is Chain Induction.
I think everyone liked that power, they liked it even more when it stopped sucking and got fixed

I would also love to see "Assassin's Flames" as a clone of Breathe of Fire...since it's rather useless most other times. Something for animation like: drinking from a vial (like the science pack costume animation) and spit flames at the target. As per the secondary effect of Fire, I'd also love to see a minor 3-4sec DoT to the Assassin Strike.
Past that, if they port over Fire Aura...it couldn't be much worst then Electric Aura
