Flare passive needs to be reworked or reverted. Full Stop

One of the biggest issues with the new Fire staff rework is the new Flare passive, AOE splash on heavies. This literally rewards players for missing their heavies. This should be completely reworked into something else or just reverted to the old passive. Lowering the Skill ceiling like this is just bad. There is 0 justification to reward players who can’t land their heavies. FS changes really aren’t even that OP but the flare change is pretty dumb and just straight up rewards players for missing their heavies. IF anything the splash AOE should be like less than half of the normal dps of a fs heavy. No reason to have players shooting and miss and hit the ground or the wall beside you and still take full damage.

I think completely changing it into something else is better. We want higher skill ceiling not lower.

Just make it so it only does the splash when impacting a target not against objects or the ground. Done.

I don’t even use it, I can land my heavy attacks and I rather have the projectile speed. But it’s stupid to be rewarded for missing I agree.

Yeah just makes no sense to work like that. Literally dumb.

I am pretty sure someone missed me, hit a tree, which then caused it to hit me. I thought it was funny.

exactly.
