Yeah, I know, guess that's what I'll wind up doing if I get another one. The Market makes it easier.

That's a bug and will be fixed Soon™.

Fire/Storm what ?? Controller, Defender or Corruptor ??


The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.

If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

We're in the Controller subforum, so I know what my money's on.

Yep, BV guessed it! Controller. Plus Airhammer, I think that only Controllers and Stalkers have access to Waterspout in their APP.

I took Bonfire for the first time on my fire/storm because of this proc.... and slotted with purples, its a monster. Mobs just melt when I get two bonfires out, it actually makes me feel a little dirty while farming.

Some mobs, I don't even use fire cages on so I can watch the flopping after freezing rain and bonfire. In fact, yesterday we just used bonfire to protect the reactor during a respec run.

They never got close....

Don't you know that discussion of power selection/slotting can ONLY be based on hearsay, rumor, idle speculation, and bald-faced lies??!? ~Elf_Sniper

I finally just got Bonfire on my fire controller myself and put the proc in it, and I must say... it's absolutely incredibly overpowered. It's a large AOE, it has a short cooldown (literally it's perma with just one Recharge enhancement), it's a 100% lockdown on anything without KB protection, and it's autohit. It makes me feel bad when I use it just because of how ridiculous it is.

Well I have it in my tornado and bonfire and I love it so much. Was the best thing that ever happened in a proc io. To bad that on the coffee talk there planning on changing it on these two powers. People are whining about them and ruined it for the people who really wanted this.

How does the proc work with the Kinetic Crash knockback IO's? Does it convert the knockback to knockdown or do the knockback enhancements work against the knockback of the proc?

The KB IO basically does -99% knockback enhancement. When you put enhancements in a power, the values are additive. So, one KB SO is 60% knockback enhancement, therefore if you had both in the same power you'd end up with -39% KB enhancement (-99% + 60%). Kinetic Crash IOs will eventually turn your KD back into KB.

Can you put more than one on the same character, or are you talking about two different characters?

Is this true? Are they planning on changing it? Even on Tornado?

In Bonfire and Tornado they normally do their Knock Back every 2 seconds with 100% chance. When they patch the IO, when slotted the Knock Back will always be turned into Knock Down but there will only be a 40% chance for the Knock Down to occur instead of 100%.

This change is obviously a reduction in power but even so the proc make those powers still INCREDIBLY good. They will just be more balanced.
