Powers

Char

Incapacitates a distant foe by Charring them with smoldering soot and cinders. The target is left helpless, choking on the soot. The target will take some damage from Char, but the damage is very trivial.

If you are defeated, you can rise from the ashes. The fiery resurrection blasts nearby foes with an explosion and knocks them down. You will revive with about half of your Hit Points and Endurance.

You must be level 41 and have Fire Blast (Rain of Fire for Dominators) or Fire Ball before selecting this power.
