Why is firestaff the only weapon in the game without CC?

What do you mean, you don’t see all the noobs on the forums asking for Firestaff flamethrower to be nerfed?? The problem with Firestaff is noobs constantly cry about it on the forums so it can never be in a place where it is used in top level wars. You still see noobs asking for ridiculous things like cooldown on flamethrower when they have never played the weapon or have any sort of implication of what that means.

It doesn’t have a CD because it can be stopped by any ability including scream. What kind of question is that?

If you think that is anything close to normal gameplay you are clueless. Players can barely get that in wars.

Exactly this. People think flamethrower is OP becuase they forgot their keyboard has a W button on it… Only the bad players struggle vs a flamethrower.

LMAO is this guy saying that spear is stronger than FS ? You barely see 2-3 spear user / war roster on EVERY server while FS light are literally top 5-10 of EVERY war and can rack up over 30-40kills. FIRE STAFF doesn’t neeed CC , FS/IG is one or the STRONGEST combo dmg / cc wise . FS dmg is OFF the ROOF. Nerf 40% dmg FS and give it CC I agree

Not true. Top companies (para, bonzai, fae) have some.
It can be flamethrower or it can be meteor padder.

Propaganda? I literally shard actual game stats.

By definition what you are doing is spreading propaganda LMAO.

According to everyone who faces a life staff they can outheal 5v1 so that’s kinda like CC.

Nope, I played with and against them on Abaton. They don’t. Maybe some tried to abuse the meme shower perk a bit but in serious wars they slotted 0.

Give us stagger on burnout hits and prevent it from going through people. Should reasonable considering the long cooldown it has.

that is his ONLY argument because he saw a screenshot somewhere and now believes it’s the norm. Not to mention that the mage has 2 weapons and part of the dmg comes from the second, if that second weapon probably is a IG that deals aoe dmg.

You called me a liar and insulted me for the claim. Thats why i shared the screenshot.

Keep trying to deflect tho. Maybe you can convince one of the AGS Devs to make FS even more OP. Maybe then u can finally be good at this game.

AGS dev’s are not the smartest but even them can see that what you are saying is ridiculous and yes, you are a liar.
You claim that FS is capable of dishing out 3M dmg in 1 OPR.
Firstly, the person that obtain those numbers was using 2 weapons, not just 1.
Secondly you screenshot means nothing, I don’t even know if it was a mage or a naked guy punching ppl it’s just an cropped image.
Thirdly, learn to press “W”… that is all you need to survive the infamous flamethrower.

Keep doing what you’re doing.

Fire staff didnt need CC,
until they decided to let people dodge while CCd. (Seriously who came up with this?)

Now it needs CC because theyve forced it.

Wait, “poison” is a CC now but “pushback” isn’t? And you also want two ability perks for fireball instead of the one that every other ability in the game gets?

If you want an actual answer, its because we don’t need another IG/VG combo with 3 slows, 3 roots, and 2 staggers all while having huge aoe and high damage potential.

Delete flamethrower and give it some kind of CC, ok.

Or use the best CC weapon in the game as a secondary, Ice Gauntlet. Also can pair well with blunderbuss, rapier, and a void gauntlet.

FS is fine, beyond fine. It’s also ridiculously easy to use.

Can you not swap to another weapon to incorporate some CC into your build?

In addition, when do weapons just become skins of each other if they all need to do that same thing.

Ey thats just the game we play though right? AGS is very clear that they want PvP to revolve around heavy chain CC and complete lockdown of the enemy’s control over their own character.

So it just feels a bit odd that firestaff is the only weapon that cant do that.
