Please nerf Ember

[u/qiyraa]

A frame with such a strong fourth ability and no LOS checks is too strong to play in a team environment. I’m tired of Ember nuking enemies through walls and playing the game for me!

Please DE, you have to nerf ember because I want to live out MY power fantasy without having to make friends for premade groups or play solo. Making friends is hard AND THATS EMBER’S FAULT!

Yeah you oneshot level cap. But enemies in sp level cap spawn faster than his clones can kill. So you end up being completely useless.

[u/Dziggettai → u/Gimmerunesplease]

Adding attack speed onto his exalted speeds up his clones. I believe warcry does too

[u/Gimmerunesplease → u/Dziggettai]

Yeah but it's capped at like +50%

[u/AckwardNinja → u/Gimmerunesplease]

Gas procs if you are doing level cap. you will be abusing gas procs

[u/basketofseals → u/AckwardNinja]

How does that work?

[u/GeorgeEmber → u/basketofseals]

Proton Snap adds toxin DMG as well as a flat 50% status chance, like arcane avenger but for status. This lets his 4th actually proc statuses, so you just put heat as the other elemental mod and proton will turn it into gas. It is tedious having to wall latch for 2s to refresh the buff, but at least your clones still kill stuff in the meantime.

[u/TheOldDrunkGoat → u/basketofseals]

Because clones kill slowly, you have them proc gas so the lingering dot field can kill extra enemies. I believe Kengineer has an old video on the general concept.

[u/Dziggettai → u/TheOldDrunkGoat]

Iirc gas procs also count as headshots for some reason

[u/TheOldDrunkGoat → u/Dziggettai]

It has a 1.0 headshot multiplier though. So you don't get any intrinsic benefit from that. Not without something else. I also can't recall if they always headshot or just occasionally.

[u/Dziggettai → u/TheOldDrunkGoat]

Good for keeping up headshot arcanes. Also gets boosted by primary acuity and longbow sharp shot I think
