Fire

Command the power of flame, directing gusts of heat and protecting allies with targeted blasts. Players who choose to wield the wild and unpredictable forces of Fire have to be tough. Fire characters like to get up front and blast away at enemies, and tend to draw a lot of attention. They also want to spread their flames so they can do as much damage to groups as possible.
Specializing in Tanking abilities, Fire is a Power Set available for a character during Character Creation.
