Infernos are OP.

prankenstein · April 2013

Once, before On Alert, I was killed by a Fireball crit, so because Freeforms are obviously better than ATs in every possible way, the completely obvious conclusion is that Infernos are OP and need nerfed.

Infernos are obviously OP for these simple reasons: Their charged fireball does way too much damage for time charged, It has 3 AoEs, and needs no thought to build.

For testing for this, I used 100% reliable Cryptic Math values, Legion's gear, and no advantages, traits or Specializations. Foremost because obviously everyone has access to Legion's gear, and this is showing how powerful the AT is even without massive stat increases. This is obviously a foolproof and ironclad test of my skill too.

The Charged Fireball attacks deal way too much damage. It attacks not once, but twice with its ridiculous numbers. With the aforementioned setup, and 8 Concentration stacks, it hit for 3000 damage fully charged, and then 1200 damage in AoE. This obviously is significantly Overpowered, who cares about the 3 whole seconds you sit there, charging up your attack, unable to move? With attacks such as Defile, I may get 1,000 damage taps, or with Ice Blast, maybe 3,000 damage taps, but who wants to be jumping around when they fight things? For these reasons, Fireball is OP.

The Inferno AT has 3 whole AoEs, showing amazing build skill and foresight from cryptic, and how they're obviously hacking their own game to be such geniuses. Between Fire Breath, Flash Fire and Conflagration, which, obviously can't be used in synergy, because, that would be a nightmare to fight. I can get around 400 DPS. This is overpowered in PvP because everyone knows AoEs and tagging are the way to go in Hero Games.

Finally, as has been pointed out many times by the armchair build gurus and intellectual savants of this forum, ATs need no build skill to create, as Cryptic has already created the AT for you, and you have to choose nothing. Nevermind the specialization trees, traits, optional powers, travel powers, gear, stat choices, or power rotations. Cryptic obviously does all the work for you. This can be seen from the complete lack of defensive powers or heals, showing just how much offensive prowess and power this Archetype possesses.

In conclusion, this AT is way too easy to do well with, and has way too much offensive power. Infernos are OP.

um...?

ok.

EDIT: hurhurhurhurhurhur, I get it..sorry I'm a little slow..

You didn't even mention Fire Strike. Range 100, infinitely spammable while moving at full speed, can apply a DOT on every attack, and if the target has fire snake on them it does more damage. It's practically a high speed sniper rifle attack that you can spam while jumping around like a swankbag, and nobody can even stop you because you can put, of all things, crippling challenge on it, which if nobody remembers, completely and utterly rips through blocking.

And nobody's even doing anything about it!

Exactly, and it does like a whole 500 damage, even without crits! Inferno OP. Please nerf.

Seems I didn't make this obvious enough for some people.

Let alone fiery form by itself does AOE DMG...so you have 3 aoes PLUS your passive to deal DoT! Plz cryptic nerf/balance it.

Sorry that was more for those who will take your post as a serious one. I expected any new thread posted April First to be a part of April Fools day.

I apologize as well, I felt quite cynical when I posted my reply.

Much love, enjoy April Fool's Day next year too!
