Because it´s the truth?
Can u answer to my question? Maybe just a troll? Or just sad because your skillrepertoire doesn’t find an answer?
The flamethrower is in a very good position now. It’s viable but not too weak or not too strong.
They are already nerfing efficient burnout. And next patch firestaff will go back to being the worst weapon in the game again since it loses 10% dmg.
People continue to cry about the poor firestaff which has no cc and no utility…
If you struggle vs a flamethrower you require a bit of training in how to play pvp. Not call for ft to be nerfed.

Who wants to see a guys chasing people with a flamethrower? Youtube is about entertainment and not about whats op. You will see rarely see Greataxe videos, cause its not entertaining to see people spam melee attacks, they wanna see sick aiming 
Flamethrower is the most stupid skill in the game. I doesnt even break cc.
But fix Lifestaff first. Thx 
you press one button and walk around with your flamethrower and talk about skillrepertoire hahaha
how do you know i even play fire stick? i only see one who doesn’t know how to help himself against flamethrowers. i don’t have a problem with any weapon with it…
lool, aiming a black hole is really difficult
It’s strong but there is def outplay potential. That, imo is a sign of decent balance.
If you just eat someone flame thrower, idk what to tell you… it’s not a instant ko, you gotta eat it for a while.
Flamethrower definitely needs to be fixed. Just a massive crutch that, in combination with pylon, has taken mage from one of the most skillful classes to by far the most noob-catering class.
The only people a flamethrower nerf would hurt are bad players, so I personally see no issue with fixing it.

Flamethrower needs a BOOST! I tested different builds on PTR test server where you are able to get a character level 60 with all items.
Flamethrower was in the bottom WORST builds compared to all others.
Best was Hatchet, Great Axe, Great Sword, Blunderbuss, and the Life Staff because you could never die with it.

y bro
Have test it too. With every other skill of firestick u can perform much better…perhaps players who demand a nerf should test flamethrowers themselves. 1 OPR match would be enough to find an answer against it!

They should gut Gravity Well and Reap. Also, they should remove every form of auto tracking. Because they require less skill than Flame Thrower because the game actually plays for you.
Let’s not even talk about BB, you know what. Actually lets, talk about BB and Strength builds in general. Strength builds have some of the most over-tuned mechanics in the game. Just look at wars where performance matters most. Balance the game off that. Strength builds needs to be nerfed. Or mage builds need to buffed. Because it’s not even close atm.

Grit alone on 300str is a game changer, i don’t do pvp anymore because how OP are str builds.
All STR weapons have 40 to 50% more base damage, multiple life stealing perks, CC, haste, and grit.
And ppl thinks that flamethrower is the problem.
Burn should be % damage, the more hp you have the more burn you take. That will make fire staff close to be usefull in pvp by melting bruisers and tanks.

People just want to wreck everyhting with every builds.
Some builds are better against one and bad against a second that’s a part of MMORPG.
The only nerf and rework need to be done are when some combinaison are too OP against everything
Counter flamethower ? Stun, Gem, distance, …

Where did you get the info about fire staff getting a 10% nerf?
Unlisted ptr changes. The efficient burnout perk on ptr is nerfed.
And light and heavy attacks 10% rescution? What about fireball? I’m a mage player and man surviving against hatchet and spear is hard enough as it is

No the only change I am aware of is the efficient burnout perk which basically takes away the solid burst potential of the firestaff. It is a big nerf.
fact
Yeah as well as 20% less roll after a melee hit on lights that’s just gifting melee easy attacks on a mage
