Flammenseele

Pyromancer / Selfhealer

He was once a comicartist from germany. In search of the perfect Idea for a comic he traveled to Milleium City, the City of Superheroes. But not only his mind got inspired. A mysterious force, called the CREAGON awakend him and his slumbering special powers to harness and control fire and flames. And so Steffen Meister turned to become Flammenseele, the flaming soul, aprentice pyromancer with the power to use the flames to heal himself.

Please feel free to comment (Nor about my english, im no native speaker)

Is there a good way to realise this concept? Wich healingpower would fit the most?

A list of self-heals can be found here: http://www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/Healing (thanks always Lohr!).

If I were to make such a character, I would combine the Fire and Infernal sets. I would take Fire for my attacks but take healing powers such as Regeneration, Resurgence, and Devour Essence (I would color them orange).

As you are freeform, you have room for a few extra powers so I would probably take Fire Form in addition to Regeneration for soloing or when in a group that has a Tank and Healer.

My line up might look like this:

1) Throw Fire
1) Heat Wave (retcon out of Fire Strike)
6) Fire Form
8) Conflagration
11) Devour Essence
14) Regeneration
17) Resurgence
20) Concentration (Technology)
23) Thermal Reverberation
26) Flashfire
29) Immolation
32) Toxic Nanites (Gadgeteering)
35) Fire Shield
38) Rebirth

I think this covers all the bases as far as power types go (passive, toggle, next hit buff, active offense, active defense, and energy unlock). As you can see, I'm a big fan of maintained powers. Most of these powers have synergy with another power in the build. For example, Heat Wave and Conflagration will trigger Concentration and Thermal Reverberation, giving you tons of energy. Begin with Flashfire as it will do damage while you maintain one of your other powers (it will also trigger Thermal Reverberation but not Concentration). Devour Essence is both decent damage and healing (it will also trigger Concentration but not Thermal Reverberation). Save it for when you are hurt and you still have Resurgence for emergencies. Also, Fiery Form buffs toxic damage so there is synergy between Fiery Form and Devour Essence/ Toxic Nanites. Fire shield and Rebirth are at the end because they will likely see the most use in end game lairs.

Empathic Healing would be perfect for you. It has a suitably flame like visual effect.

IMHO Empathic Healing may be the best heal in the game. My only problem with it for a damage build is that you have to stop attacking and target yourself while using it.

WOW!!! o_0

I'm stunned.

Thanks chovihano for that great build Idea!

Just printed it and pinned it to my monitor for advice on my leveling up.

You really put some thought in it and I really appreciate it.

I hope everything will work out as fine as planned.

I will let you know.

Flammenseele / Flaming Soul

Pyromancer / Fire Elemental

It all started as a simple visit to Millenium City. Steffen Meister, an comic artist from Germany traveled to the city of superheroes to get inspired for a new story he was working on. He visited the magic Bookstore for a signature round with the mighty Wichcraft.

All of a sudden the Store was attacked by Freezer, a supervillan from a permafrost planet far away. He was now match for Witchcraft. She defeated him in the blink of an eye.

But Freezer got the chance and used his powers on some of the visitors. Steffen was one of them. His heart stopped and is body was solid ice in seconds.

Witchcraft was shocked, when she realised it. But she called an old friend of her, a mighty spirit of fire, if he knows a solution for this problem. Only permanent and extensive heat could defrost Steffen and bring him back to life. So one of his small firewhisps linked his soul to the mortal and they became one person. Keeping Steffen alive and giving him access to control and harness fire and flames.

I'm glad it helped. If you love Conflagration as much as I do but you find it is an energy hog (some super-stats are better at energy management than others), you can re-arrange the order like so you get Thermal Reverberation and Concentration earlier.
