DC Universe Online Fire Power
Fire Power
Fire power in DC Universe Online is for those that like to get up close and personal and blast their enemies with spouts of raging orange flame. This will often mean enemies will give them a lot of attention, which is why Fire Power is common for those that like to Tank. They can also spread their flames to multiple enemies, causing as much damage as possible. Fire Power is broken down into two specializations: Ignition & Immolation.
Tanking – The Tank Role for Fire Power users have the following abilities. Firstly all the damage you cause will be penalized by 20%. But on the flip-side, using super powers increases your total health by 60% and healing received by 80%. Using Ignition will also make you a target for enemies causing them to attack you rather then your allies. Finally, you gain +3 perception, improving your chance of detecting stealth using enemies.
PVP – You gain a special advantage versus Gadget and Mental power users. You are immune to their debuffing effects and highly resistant to their controls. Some abilities will even provide you (and your allies) with total immunity to Controller effects. Attacking them may even inspire ‘Confidence’ within you, which for a short period of time will increase your damage to 55%.
I have compiled the complete list of Fire Powers in specialization and tier order:
Immolation
Immolation powers focus on calling forth fires from within yourself to affect the world around you. Immolation powers cause flames to well up around your character, causing damage to anyone in the vicinity. Immolation abilities also bolster your will to win, adding an extra element to help in combat.
