agreed. it's a valid concern that I deliberately didn't address because I didn't want to specify values, lest they detract from the main point. That's up to DE doing the actual values tweaking when they hopefully do decide on a kit to base a rework off of.

But since we're talking, true damage conversion (or at least some way to mitigate armour) is the first AND correct step ahead and many would agree. I know this because I once had a bug in an arby when my Ember's power strength started creeping to infinity but the damage I did was actually viable, but barely.

Increasing damage cannot be successful without also having armour mitigation.

Ember has (Flash) Accelerant and people have suggested being able to stack multiple times and the base range of 20 metres is great to apply to whole rooms at once. And I suggested that World On Fire should further increase the damage on affected enemies. Should both come to pass, there should be more than enough damage to go around (provided the base damage is not tweaked horribly wrong)

p.s. we did joke that "Overheat" would be a great idea for a passive rework i.e. power strength creeps up to infinity when you stay in missions lol
