Flames of Prometheus past 50?

I just dinged 50...and noticed that I still have the Flames of Prometheus power. I thought this was supposed to go away at 50.

I'm not complaining, as I'm happy to have the +regen and +Recovery, but I'd hate to be balancing my build on a bug that will go away...

It isn't, I don't think. Is it there when you look at attributes

Perhaps you must unlock the Alpha Slot before the Flames go away.

It doesn't give you any bonuses any more at 50.

Go to your badges, there's a button you can click to cash in your Flames of Prometheus for a Notice of the Well (right under the badge for completing the Mortimer Kal SF). Not sure if you have to unlock your Alpha slot first.

The buff stays on your bar, but no longer provides bonuses once you reach 50. It will go away once you claim the Notice. You must unlock your alpha slot before you can claim the Notice, though, last time I tried.

:O it doesn't provide that bonus at 50? >:0

That stinks



Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.

Really? You get a free Notice that you can use towards crafting a Rare Alpha which will give you a much better bonus than the Flames.

Yeah because no one would want the Flames bonus *and* an Alpha together.

Moreover, getting an everlasting bonus to damage, health, and regeneration (albeit a small one) basically just for playing a villain would be silly.

Which is odd, since all my heroes (well both, since only 2 of them play iTrials) have been getting the Flames of Prometheus buff when entering iTrials, as have their Lore pets, even though they both have all 5 abilities equipped and have never done the required TF.

[Edit] Ah, Warmth of Prometheus... cheers Hopeling [/Edit]

No, that's the Warmth of Prometheus, which is a different buff.

Ah, silly old me - when/why did that come about then?

[Edit] Hm, a buff for joining an Open League? Fair enough! [/Edit]
