Didn't they announce this was going to get changed in i22 as it's not WAI?

I fail to see how it is not WAI. The in game description of the power is: Burnout allows you to instantly recharge all of your Primary and Secondary powers. Burnout is very expensive in terms of endurance, and reduces your maximum endurance slightly for 60 seconds after use. You must be at least level 14 and have two other Speed Powers before selecting Burnout Recharge: Extremely Long

No "they" didn't "announce" anything of the sort. Where do people get these bum stained rumors from? Oh yeah I know...


The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Confirmed. Never had 20 of them, I think the below pic shows 16 but topped at 17. It seems to work better casting Hell on Earth on 2 different pets as I originally cast it twice on the Demon Prince and only got 10 Living Hellfire before the duration ended.

Now if only I could get suit and tie mafioso/federal agent style thugs I'd have the enthusiasm necessary to play my thugs traps

Thanks ricodah

How's it feel power-wise? Would you recommend building for this or does it just feel like a gimmick?

I cannot speak for ricodah, but when we did an all-MM ITF and there were 4 (?) gang wars and/or living hellfires. It was no gimmick, the crew totally owned the big bad Cimeroran/Nictus beast.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.

You're welcome. I don't know power-wise how strong it is, I just have an old Demons/TA MM built with SO's that I tested it on using the alternate build. It is a little gimmicky getting a double Hell on Earth every 11ish minutes. Probably better than double Soul Extraction since you do not have to kill your pets to do it.

If you are taking Hasten anyways and have the spare power picks, I say go for it. SS and Burnout can both be effective with just the initial slot so you do not need to use extra for them. But I would build for it later, around lvl 40+ after essential power picks are already taken.

From the thugs pov, it makes for a great panic button when the excrement hits the rotary air moving device. It has certainly pulled my character's bacon out of the fire on more than one occasion solo and it is a pretty powerful attack if you have only one target for them to focus on (they make short work of Adamanster... just saying). It is certainly a situational attack, you're not going to have it every spawn and frankly you shouldn't be able to; but when you need it, it is golden.

It feels WONDERFUL to have 26 pets beating the stuffing out of an AV like Nightstar or Siege..WONDERFUL.
