Uses for Burnout?

Well when I heard about the power I thought it was something that people had been asking for for ages but it was considered "too powerful." Then we finally get it, and I started wondering what to do with it. Then I started realizing most buffs have a don't-stack rule, and started wondering if there's really anything that would be dramatically better with the ability to double cast something. Plus it only works on primary/secondary powers, not epics, pools, or temps.

Has anyone figured out any really GOOD uses for Burnout? To justify taking the powers and the endurance hit.

EDIT: Meant to put this under archetypes and powers. Whoops.

Adrenalin Boost?

For bonus points, the detriments of Burnout are basically negated by the Recovery Aura that gets recharged, too.

I haven't actually had the chance to play with it yet, but it seems to me that Burnout could have been made for Controllers (and, by extension, Dominators). Cast your single-target hold, then your multi-target hold…then Burnout and cast them both again? Burnout could have been made for holding archvillains.

Any class who has extremely powerful powers that take a long time to recharge could get a benefit, when you get right down to it. If nothing else, you could pop Moment of Glory (or its equivalent for other melee defense sets) twice in a row for double the Tier 9 fun.

Nuke-Burnout-Nuke? Depending on your nuke's crash, of course.

I only plan on taking Burnout on one character, my Spines/Regen Scrapper, to get Instant Healing up more often. Her endurance bar doesn't move all that much anyway, so it's no huge loss to my endurance.

What's the best recharge time you can get on Burnout?

Off the top of my head Warshades seem to get some use from this. They could do Eclipse > Mire > AOE > Nuke > Pop a Blue > Stygian Circle > Raise Fluffy > Burnout > Raise another fluffy and change into the next spawn ready for another Mire-nuke combo.

I think anything with SR would love it, you could almost have Perma Elude.

Elude-Burnout-Elude will NOT work. The Elude 'no endurance recovery' debuff is flagged as superceding any other buff for its duration. You'd still need to pop blues like candy.

One With the Shield, Moment of Glory, Rain of Arrows, Strength of Will etc are better options. Biggest thing I can think of to take advantage of it is an x/Rad Corruptor or Defender, who gets a lot of 'nukes' - Nova, EMP, Fallout, Mutation, Burnout, Repeat could be fun in bad situations.

My cold/ice defender might take it especially for TF's with multiple Av's

Being able 2 benumb 2 av's, multiple sleet, ice storm and 2 blizzard's going at once is nice especially with heat loss for end recovery and more debuff's.

I was on a LRSF awhile back with a cold corr we rushed the av's and pretty much did what I mentioned above with 2 toons and the AV's went down fast, will be nice to do this with 1 toon.
