City of Heroes/Archetypes/Controllers/BGFireStormGuide: Difference between revisions

I took this power early and couldn’t possibly imagine playing without it, however, delaying it till after you get Stamina might be a good idea because it’s a heavy toggle (then again I managed just fine with it in the early levels). Combined with Smoke, Steamy Mist means that you can come up to melee range of mobs before they notice you, and combined with Super Speed it means invisibility without taking Stealth. It does slow down movement but SS negates that. It also provides a defense and resistance bonus for you and your team making it even better. One way to slot it is 1 end redux and 5 defense, that will give you 15% defense, which is noticeable. You could also slot it with resistance but its resistance is limited to not-so-common damage types, while the defense works against any type of damage. Either way, I wouldn’t suggest slotting it “evenly” with both, either go full defense or full resistance. I also don’t think that there’s a point in slotting it unless you can six slot it. Personally, I just have 2 end redux in it because I run it all the time and have many other toggles, if I could I’d six-slot it and put defense but I don’t have slots to spare.
