At this time of the Forumpocalypse, I can think of nothing better to post than the need for Defebcers to strongly embrace the fruitsalad psyche and team like its 1999 with other Defebcers regardless of level, origin, or powerset in hopes of rebooting the player community through action since our bully pulpit won't be available. Thank you for tolerating run-ons, bad punctuation, and silly allusions to prior board posts.

I'd have more defenders if we had Fire Blast.

Oh, this has nothing to do with anything.

Defenders will likely get /Fire Blast when they get /Thermal Radiation.

However, the Devs are already giving Thermal Radiation to the Masterminds. I guess they decided they didn't want to cop out and give another AT the same proliferation. Scrappers and Tankers both getting Electric Melee and Electric Armor was bad enough...

to me it's a toss up...

Emp/Fire is a combo i've wanted ever since I became the self-proclaimed Emeril Lagasse of Empathy...

TA/AR is a combo I've wanted since I realized how brokenly powerful the combination will be.

I think you underestimate our fools, sir.

Why /duel is a bad idea

Empathy/Fire? What would your character name be? "Feel the Burn"?

For me the concept actually came out of the i16 customization - the idea of coloring fire blasts white and making them holy fire. What to pair that with, though? Why gold-tinted empathy, of course. The gods aren't too pleased with all of the villains nowadays, you see.

The only thing I think I want more than Empathy / Fire Blast would be Empathy / Fire Manipulation (or Fire Manipulation / Empathy, depending on how an AT like that might be designed).


Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.

One of the very first characters I wanted to make was a cleric/priest type named Father Marcus (based on an old D&D character), who I wanted to be Empathy/Fire. This was 5 years ago. Much to my dismay /Fire was not available for Defenders, and I instead used Dark (with the concept modified to be a fallen priest). It just didn't have the right feel and I deleted him shortly thereafter.

I saw the fire attacks as holy fire

too many "retired" fire tanks probably have variations of that name. (buff to fire armor please....)


YMMV---IMO

Castle's in the Defender forums! *throws a net over him*

Once in every so many issues, the devs come in and acknowledge that this forum exists. Anything more and then we really start to question why Vigilance hasn't been changed to benefit defenders.

And Castle, add in +recharge(helps damage, but not in a broken way) and make Vigilance work solo and the vast amount of hate toward Vigilance would be gone.

I expect that it's because they are a thematic pair, just like tanks and scrappers getting both Elec armor and Elec melee.

Because, you know, Thermal and Fire aren't thematic pairings.

Hey, you get Flamethrower and Ignite, that's a start!

Fixed. Sometimes I think the Defenders need to take Arcana's "How to Trick^H^H^H^H^HCommunicate with the Devs" course.

Wow, got a dev to reply to me without directly calling them out...

and while I like the name (maybe "I Feel The Burn" and use Absorb Pain way too much?) It will be a cooking-related character :P

My Fire/Pain Corruptor is named Searing Solace. It's not that out of character. Especially now we can sync up the colors.


The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
