Fiery Aura

Overview

Fiery Aura is a standard power set that is a primary set for Tankers and a secondary set for Brutes, Scrappers, Stalkers, and Sentinels.

"You can engulf yourself in protective flames. Fiery Aura offers superior resistance to Fire damage, but weak resistance to Cold damage and no protection to Knockback. Fiery Aura is the most offensive of the defensive Power Sets, offering some damage output."

Burn

You can ignite the ground beneath you, freeing yourself from Immobilization effects. Foes that enter the flames you leave behind will take damage. You must be near the ground to activate this power.

Consume

You can drain body heat from all nearby foes in order to replenish your own Endurance. The more foes affected, the more Endurance is gained. Foes suffer minimal Fire damage.

Editor's Note:

Scrappers only: You can drain body heat from all nearby foes, and even the air itself, increasing your health, resistance against endurance drain, as well as replenishing your own Endurance. The more foes affected, the more Endurance is gained. Foes suffer minimal Fire damage. HP and End Drain resistance do not scale with enemy count, but will be granted even if there are no enemies nearby.

Fiery Embrace

Significantly boosts the damage of all your Fire attacks for quite a while. Also increases the damage of all your other non-fire based attacks for a short while.

Editor's Note:

Fiery Embrace works in two ways - by boosting the damage of Fire attacks, and by adding a Fire damage component to all Melee attacks with the extra damage based on that attack's damage. Critical and Toxic DoT damage is not affected. In PVP, the old version still applies. See Historical section.

Fire Shield

While this power is active, Fire Shield gives you good resistance to Lethal, Smashing and Fire damage. Fire Shield also provides minimal resistance to Cold damage as well as protection from Disorient effects.

Healing Flames

You can concentrate for a few moments to heal yourself. The power of the flames can also protect you from Toxic Damage for a while.

Hide

Hide makes you almost impossible to detect. When properly "Hidden", a Stalker can pull off Critical hits with his attacks, and even land a massive "Assassin's Strike" with an Assassin's power. When you attack or are damaged while using this power, you will be discovered. Even if discovered, you are hard to see and retain some bonus to Defense. Unlike most stealth powers, Hide can be used at the same time as other Concealment powers, giving you even greater stealth capability. No Endurance cost.

Molten Embrace

Molten Embrace superheats your attacks, increasing the damage they inflict. In addition, all your attacks will have a chance to inflict fire damage over time.

Recharge Long Minimum Level 1 (Sentinel) Effects Toggle: Self +Damage, +Special Enhancements Reduce Endurance Cost Increase Attack Rate Set Categories None

Phoenix Rising

If you are defeated, you can rise from the ashes. The fiery resurrection blasts nearby foes with an explosion and knocks them down and Disorients them. You will revive with about half of your Hit Points and Endurance. Phoenix Rising will actually leave you invulnerable for a brief time, and protected from XP Debt for 90 seconds. You can also use this power even if you have not been defeated, with weakened effects. The closer you are to being defeated, the stronger the effects will be. You need to be under 75% health to activate this power.

Editor's Note:

The Phoenix will strike a total of three times, with two seconds between strikes. Each strike automatically hits enemies within range and deals heavy damage, a magnitude 4 stun, and Knockback. If enemies stay within the 25' radius of the Phoenix's attack for all three strikes, nuke-level total damage and a very high magnitude of stun will be dealt. Powers that make enemies immune to Knockback (such as many holds and most immobilizes), enemies with inherent Knockback protection (such as Arch-Villains), and nearby walls and corners can all become tactically important when this power is used.

Plasma Shield

While this power is active, you are surrounded by pure plasma. The Plasma Shield gives you resistance to Energy, Negative Energy, and Fire damage. Plasma Shield also gives you protection from Sleep and Hold effects.

Temperature Protection gives you strong resistance to Fire damage, some resistance to Cold damage and slow effects, and grants minor, unenhanceable regeneration as well as provide very minor Knockback Protection. This power is always on and costs no Endurance.
