I feel like SOMEONE needs to mention to the devs to buff the fire shield to either make it a full shield or you get heals when using the fire damage reduction shield. Absorb heat cancelling nerf isn’t a huge deal considering we FIRE TANKS can find a workaround. It’s just isn’t fair that fire has a lower defense compared to other tanks and still have a damage reduction shield; it’s basically like fire only has 1 shield which is the hard light shield. They wanted to nerf the absorb heat exploit.. FINE, but they could’ve at least buff the shield.
Me & ALOT of other people liked the sorc aura......y take out a free aura that showcases/ highlights the " sorcery " power 😅 i even liked the earth one too thats crazy man
I'm confused how the absorb heat change of canceling stops the heals "makes sense", but has the complete opposite view on on artifact swapping being good/allowed and not canceling their affects when they're cancelled/uneqipped 🤔.....
because one is a power and the other is an equippable artifact? By your logic then if I use a pet trinket and then take the pet trinket off the pet should disappear too, but does it? Are you telling any player that ever swaps the pet or henchmen trinket they are exploiting because they don't have it equipped anymore? How about a supply drop? if I drop one and then switch to another trinket should the supply drop disappear too? Am I able to swap absorb heat with another power mid combat? no you can't because they don't work the same as artifacts.
@@ObsidianChill You're trying to act as if it's a false equivalency. I'm not here to argue, however, you ARE/WERE swapping powers just like you would with a artifact. Are you going into the load out and swapping the power? No. But you would use absorb heat like activating an art or trinket, cancel mid move while keeping the procs of it just as if you swapped and artifact after proccing, and then be able to activate another power ALREADY in the load out while still proccing from absorb because you canceled it just as you'd activate another art with the previous canceled/swapped art already procc'd.....
@@CodenameRawTV you are trying to compare artifacts to power abilities lol. They aren't the same thing. Name me another power in the game that worked like absorb heat. IF you cancel any channel do you still get the damage and effects? If you cancel rage's channeled hate, which was modeled off absorb heat you stop the damage and the healing. Arts don't equal Powers so the entire argument is irrelevant
@@ObsidianChill I'm not "trying" to do anything. I factually stated how it's the same. And you're also confused by my stance. I wasn't condoning absorb heat pre-change.

They adjusted a fire bug...but apparently they didn't fix the bug that prevents u from canceling the move? You can still get stuck channeling? Also...how is this not akin to clipping in dps role where u cut the animation and get the full benefits of the attack?
@@ObsidianChill i know they're aware of it....was wondering ur opinion on fixing this.. but not that? Did they adjust for some type of monetary thing? I'm starting to think most of their adjustments are for financial gains. Sadly.
Yoooooo I switch back to earth bc I thought that ugly soul link aura was a glitch from the brick pet 😂😂😂I could not figure out why I still had that aura no matter what power set I had 🤦🏾♂️
Earth and sorc already have strong pet builds and they got buffed. I mean, I'm all for it but at least give love to the low IQ AI of the suppressor turret. Dumass bot be bodyblocking everybody
side note on brick earth shatter move it does decent damage on targets where the Brick CR is 340 in the open world with no artifacts or allies, each time I hit fortify golem it did 32k damage using the new ability on the target so when the Bricks cr goes to 430 cr on live this may be close to 50k ticks maybe without mercy or source shard or Aquaman buffs opening a stronger battle build for tanking!
Hopefully they change fury’s projectile hit move to something that will 100% hit a target like crystal does. All it takes is for an add or boss to move slightly and then that slow projectile misses and you do no damage
Sidekick is higher damage if you are not applying the earth/sorc power interactions for crystal/fury or using Fortify/Offering. However if you use the Mercy artifact with Sidekick its higher base damage
(OFF: I hate that they felt the need to make Zatanna say to avoid the Gorgon's gaze; it's obvious that you shouldn't do what the enemies tell you to do, or at least it should be.

Yeah absorb heat was a necessity in new elite content especially with a tanking power that doesnt come with a full shield... gl tanking those beastiomorphs in CTe without it.. yeah you get 20% more healing but you still cant face tank or else all of your heals will be taken away basically thru the damage you take from face tanking. Stoke flames doesnt heal enough and burning determination doesnt really matter with as hard as they hit and since youre stuck channeling Absorb heat, you cant get the burst heal from backdraft or the group breakout. RIP fire tanks and CHMe runs with no healer. Oh but they buffed Earth tho so everybody get them power switch tokens! What a fucking joke. Greedy devs. They really need to quit manipulating the game for the soul purpose of getting money from us and actually make content that is worth the money
CHMe runs without a healer shouldn't even be a thing that is because the raid itself is trash. I did TTE+ plenty of times with and without Absorb Heat, its not as important as you think it is, there are plenty of other options depending on the situation. Or you can still use Absorb Heat in face tanking and have the extra heals and defense increase.
I'm confused as to what this comment even means. What in the world makes you think fire can't do ChmE without a healer after these changes? I'm with Chill, that alert is way too easy. Elites should require a healer. That alert is far too easy for an elite imo.
@@marianosantiniello2213 I also have a video of a Earth tank doing CHMe Plus without a Healer on 1st boss and there still was no issue. If Earth can do it, Fire certainly can

I bet anything that “bug” was always known about and it wasn’t going to be changed until earth and sorcery were getting some attention. I use rage but if I was ever on fire , absorb heat was a real nice move to have to tank similarly. Why not just leave fire tf alone? A nice little clutch power to keep things going. It’s not like fire is op and absorb heat definitely didn’t make it op.
