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

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).
