Buff (or replace) Energy Font / Fiery Orb

[Uun]

The proc in controllers Overpowering Presence ATO is Chance for Energy Font. Dominators get a similar proc (Chance for Fiery Orb) in their Dominating Grasp ATO. Other than the damage type, these entities are identical. The procs are 1 PPM in the regular ATO and 2 PPM in the superior version. The entity self destructs after 20s if not defeated sooner. It has a 15 ft radius aura that ticks every 4s for 11 pts of energy/fire damage and has a 30% chance for a 3s mag 2 stun. Other than the proc rate, there is no difference between the regular and superior versions, which do the same damage. 

 

These entities are at or near the top of the list for most useless ATO procs. They're made of tissue paper and rarely last for 20s. The damage is trivially small. If the entity manages to stay alive for its full duration, it does 55 pts of damage. A typical %dmg proc does 71 pts of damage for a regular version and 107 pts of damage for a superior version. If slotted in an AoE power, a typical %dmg proc has a chance to fire against every foe hit, but only one font/orb can be summoned per attack. They also have a much lower proc rate than typical ATO %dmg procs (4 PPM for regular / 5 PPM for superior). 

 

Suggestions:

• Increase the proc rate
• Increase the damage (especially for the superior version)
• Allow more than one font/orb to be summoned per attack
• Replace them entirely with %dmg procs
