Flamethrower been for the longest time a love it or hate it type of relationship
The issue is it was always below average and a good indicator of it is the stats/amount of users
Flamethrower Nerfs over time (from what i can recall)
Old days
-[Disable "backstab crit damage]
In the more recent changes
-[Weapon perk one of the worst if not the worst in terms of impact]
-[Attunement doesnt apply to flamethrower(not even first tick, bug?]
-[Breaks stuns]
Future upcoming nerfs
[Light users roll after being hit (Indirect nerf, however as flamethrower you get hit a lot)]
[Burning damage from flamethrower doesnt increase Ultimate(other weapons like spear and bow bleeds do) another bug?)]
Overall we seen a trend of decline and nerf after nerf.
I have hopes that the dev will one day buff the ability to a point that it will be good
haha infinite flamethrower. this ability is the most braindead gameplay, it should be weak u use no mana and can cast forever LOL. actually it should be nerfed
Cooldown if they add grit to perk same like they did with IG’s chill wind . Otherwise it will be crap skill. I dont have any problem with this FT anyway I just swap to melee and I do much way more damage than this FT, also I dont get complanings
its overly overpowered when played correctly. i just dont see why this ability doesnt have a cooldown. so annoying to play against as a healer while the spell requires ZERO skill.
This ability is only good ability that FS mage can use, except fireball. It should be even buffed, not nerfed. FT dmg is low. Its good only because of burnout and consist but low dmg. When burnout will be nerfed then FT will be no existence.
Not true. Skill required is low, but its not braindead. If you lock yourself in FT animation in wrong moment when you are in mele range you are dead or very low hp. Depends on situation. But skill is far from braindead. Just easy to use if you do it in proper situation and moment.
Damage is not low but I would say average why its users are top ? Because it gives you the easiest way to farm points. I would say you deal less damage than melees and just put dots and tick on enemies clump. If someone did the most damage it does not mean he has the highest damage at all he can be a just good score farmer.
No dmg should not be buffed or nerfed. Dmg right now is in good spot. And its not usles with out bonus from burn out. Far away from that. It is just good skill vs mele. IT is not bad or not op.
