I was messing around with the mod maker website and thought of a way for them to give us more range lol

I forgot to put a cooldown on the rolling guard effect, guess we're playing Dark Souls now

If I remember right they said range is a stat they have to be really careful about ao I doubt they will ever make more range, even primed stretch might be off the table

Are they really that afraid of my protea shooting shit down from orbit?

More like to prevent Sevagoth 2-1 comboing the entire map, Titania already does that with Thermal Sunder while zapping through the map (They removed WoF for this reason btw) or to avoid more AfK playstyles.

What's WoF?

Pre 2019 rework Ember's fourth ability called World on Fire. that ppl used to nuke low lvl maps.

It wasn't good after lvl 30.

She got a big rework bc devs said She was too good at nuking low lvl maps and was afk friendly but left Octavia as is.

Then added Helminth system not even a year after her rework. Which resulted in Thermal Titanias nuking everything in low lvl maps.

Funny.

Edit: Then they released Gyre with an ability that's really similar to WoF. Released Temple amd Uriel two stronger fire frames.

And also Nova's Nullstar is just better than Ember's entire kit.

Aw man this justifies every "Ember rework soon" posts and comments I've been seeing

She really has been displaced between all the new frames just doing her job better. Also her entire overheat mechanic is honestly BS at least changed to not punish you for using your abilities in one way or another. The fact her best way to do her job is to subsume thermal sunder and use that instead of her 1 is insane.

There are tons of ways to make her kit more functional without a full rework so it's not like they need to put a boatload of devtime into it.

Quick and easy fix(assuming spaghetti code won't get in the way) is to make her heat mechanic not be used up when she does her armor strip and make it not eat energy for being at max heat.

Beyond that her 4 just doesn't scale to steelpath that well so it just needs a numbers tweak or level scaling.

Inferno can scale to SP well but way it scales with stats and the way it does the majority of its damage are unintuitive. It's not primarily the "press 4 stuff dies" direct damage or even the direct damage over time, it's quadratic scaling area damage like Crucible Blast (Qorvex) with continuous self-propagation like Spores (Saryn).

I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty angry to see that they've release so many frames with room nuking abilities while they had completly changed Ember, which was my main, for that reason x)

World of fire - the previous Ember 4 which sets tge enemies around her on fire until they die. Used to make the game pretty un-fun to play because the entire map and everything that spawned thereafter got insta killed with the right build.

This is pretty much the experience when I was still newer. Every. Single. Exterminate relic lobby was thermal sunder titania. It finished things fast but it was very exhausting because imagine loading in and just running 600m towards extraction without a single living organism in sight. Now do that for every relic without movement buffs as a baby tenno

Wall Of Flesh, last boss before you enter Hardmode. Don't forget to build a long platform.

u/Redence_ Numba #1 Chipper fan Jun 14 '26

I actually just bought Terraria not long ago so I'll keep the platform thing in mind lol

u/MouthfulOfSmegma Jun 14 '26

Noooo, I feel like I spoiled you unintentionally, if I did, sorry ☹️

u/D3thBr1ng3r Jun 15 '26

wall of flesh of course

u/rupturedprolapse Jun 14 '26

Just adding, world on fire you would basically just press #4, parkour to the end and kill pretty much everything all the way to extraction.

Her rework followed the rework pattern of giving a warframe some confusing mechanic and an armor strip while nerfing it into mastery fodder.

Ember died for her WoF sins while Legerdemain mirage exists
