Fire Shield

While this power is active, you get a good resistance to lethal, smashing and fire damage. Fire Shield also provides minimal resistance to cold damage. You must be level 41 and have Bonfire or Char before selecting this power.

Melt Armor

The searing Heat from this power is enough to Melt the Armor and defenses of all targets in the affected area. Melt Armor significantly weakens the Defense and Damage Resistance of the affected targets. You must be level 41 and have Bonfire or Char before selecting this power.

Recharge Long Minimum Level 41 (Blaster) Effects Ranged (Targeted Area of Effect) Foe -Defense(All), -Resistance(All) Enhancements Enhance Accuracy Enhance Defense Debuff Reduce Endurance Cost Enhance Range Increase Attack Rate Set Categories Defense Debuff Accurate Defense Debuff

Rise of the Phoenix

If you are defeated, you can rise from the ashes. The fiery resurrection blasts nearby foes with an explosion and knocks them down. You will revive with about half of your hit points and endurance. Rise of the Phoenix will actually leave you invulnerable.

(Note: The Phoenix will strike a total of three times, with two seconds between strikes. Each strike automatically hits enemies within range and deals heavy damage, a magnitude 4 stun, and Knockback. If enemies stay within the 25' radius of the Phoenix's attack for all three strikes, nuke-level total damage and a very high magnitude of stun will be dealt. Powers that make enemies immune to Knockback (such as many holds and most immobilizes), enemies with inherent Knockback protection (such as Arch-Villains), and nearby walls and corners can all become tactically important when this power is used.)
