AR Ignite peak anyones interest?

[Ankhammon]

Just wondering what the fandom thinks would be a good way for a fender/rupter to leverage this power to it's best.

 

What combo would you choose and what about it would make you want an AR char?

 

I can think of two that I would want to try Poison and TA. both of these have options to hold something in place while you ignite it for loads of damage.

 

What you all think?

I've got it on my AR/TA corrupter, entangling arrow + ignite is a thing of beauty.  You could also go the traps route, since traps has web grenade.

Any immobilize.  I would even go so far as to say that I wouldn't play AR without an immobilize.  The immobilize can be primary or app, that doesn't matter so much, just so long as you can stack it enough to hold bosses in the burn patches.  You might also want to look at immobilize procs.

yeah, good points.

 

I've just always ignored AR since a friend of mine unloaded full auto from his blaster into my sonic defender and it tickled. 🙂

What would u put in it for procs?

If only they would give it to tanks they would double the radius.

AR cones hitting their one enemy for double the surface area? Allow me to be the first to call for a nerf of AR tanks!

I feel like AR might be at it's best playing alongside a gravity controller utilizing wormhole and fold space to continuously tightly clump mobs. If you had a friend that wanted to duo in such a way I would try that.

Ignite can still be decently useful on an AR / Martial blaster.  Bosses can get shoved into a corner with Ki Push, and Ignited. A couple kicks to knock them down some, maybe a 2nd Ki Push.  Admittedly, there's often better / safer ways to handle a boss for a blaster. But something about shoving them into a corner, setting them on fire, and keeping them there.

 

I do of course, have the Winter chance for immob proc in it, though.

As an AR Blaster in the old days I found Air Superiority to work well with its high Mag Knockup.  I would think you'd have to work pretty hard as a Defender to not have a hold or immobilize for Ignite.

I use Char on my Rad/AR to keep bosses stuck in a radioactive flame patch of death. Slotted Lingering Radiation can help help too!

I have every AR/whatever Blaster in the game.

The only power you need for Ignite is hover/fly.

The Epic power Bonfire, with KB->KD, and then Ignite…. Hawt!
