The only bonus I can think of from origins is for the Nem staff or the Blackwand vet powers. Other than that it only dictates what form of enhancements you can buy.


EDIT:

The real elites quit the game son.

Yes, that's "simply" all that was done. Spoken from a true PvP vet that I'm sure PvP's on a regular basis.

Funny when you tried to kb my fire tank with power thrust and it didn't do jack (and you got wrek'd son).

You two seem to fail to see what section you're posting in. This is for PvP. Although 2 kb IO's is more than enough for PvE, you need at least 41 points of KB protection in PvP or you'll get thrown all over the place.

And since you'll probably want to pick up phase it will be even easier. Keep in mind healing flames can take a res kb io as well.

Yes I was extremely offended. Isn't it obvious from my posts? Complete and total nerd rage. Next time I'll try and keep my cool. /sarcasm

Funny how when someone doesn't agree with the majority this kind of stuff happens.

I like burn, leave it the way it is. Nuff said.

I don't understand how you don't see how negative your post came across about pvp as well as the stalker reference being a bit vague, but since you're so full of personal attacks and seem to be completely unable to grasp my points I'll skip my replies for someone that's worth them. Try to lighten up a little and figure out how to be constructive without being so defensive. Good day to you sir.

I'm glad to hear your opinion on this matter. In mine it totally is worth the power pick for reason stated in previous posts.

No because that's not what the power does. It doesn't take much to figure out how to control aggro in this game. A gimp half brain dead monkey could work it out eventually. It reminds me of powers that kb and people that cant stand them, yet others love them. Just because you don't like the effect doesn't mean others don't as well.

Did you not notice the part when I talk about where when and how to use the power? How about the part where a lot of powers are situational? Heres a hint: if there are none on the team don't use it. Just like if a fire troller is laying down fire cages I wont bother using ice slick on my troller.

And yes I know they aren't imm powers, but they all keep the baddies in your patch, some even cancel out the fear effect. The point I was trying to make is that if you think outside the box the power can be useful with more than just imm powers.

A long long time until one 5mil IO can replace a power and a large amount of end usage with one slot. 2 slots and you're just about at acro levels without the extra toggle.

Also a long long time ago FA was a different beast. Its been changed since then. Healing flames was buffed as well as temp protection. Its lack of damage output from the nerf was made up for by the buffs to these powers. Yeah it isn't enough, but its other aspects of the set that the devs need to focus on, not burn IMO.

What I'm saying is it give players options. From my standpoint that's a good thing. I wouldn't be opposed to putting the imm power into one of the shields or toning down the fear effect. But the dev's put it there for a reason and so far I haven't heard a option that would change the power to something I would like better than what I already have now. If I wanted a burst damage type power, I'll roll a shield tank (like I did). Leave us options, don't start cloning things from one set because its good on another.

Now its lousy stalkers and pvp isn't worthwhile? Like I said before, I'm glad you have your opinion, but I like PvP even though its a shell of its former self. I play stalkers and I don't find them to be lousy at all. I can see why you would think its moot from your view on PvP (as well as most of the people that play this game) but I don't.

I think the problem is you must not know when, where or how to use the power not the power itself.

Ever hear of taunt?

Foot stomp, fault, ice patch... shall I continue? And I don't know about you but when I team there is usually a AT with immobilize. Again you ignore the fact that a lot of people like to team in this game and rely on teammates for support in some way shape or form.

I wont argue that cj is better, but not everyone wants to loose a power pool choice just for cj.

You must not "lol pvp" much. Burn is extremely useful against stalkers. As far as AoE defense, the AoE damage from burn ticks so often that it'll rip through elude like it wasn't there.

But didn't scrappers just get blaze mastery in their epic pools...

Char, RoF, fire blast and fireball are all ranged attacks last I checked.

He said fiteklub. Divine avalanche, a power you wouldn't touch in zone pvp, is great for standing in front of each other and mashing buttons.

I no rite.

Glad we still have silit around.

He wuz 1 of the greetest of al tym yo.
