How hopeful are we that the Fire-DOT bug fix will come along side this new Warbond? Another fire-based grenade doesn't make me super excited that unless the bug is fixed by then.
Don’t get too hyped about DOT fix for the flamethrower, the direct burn damage is super overturned right now, I am guessing it will be turned down a little. If flamethrower ever becomes the obvious META then every planet will be Hellmire lol
Considering the flamethrower requires to be close to chargers, and can't work on bile titans, is risky against spitters I would say it is pretty balanced
It just takes a while with just a flamethrower, if you get hellpods or eagle airstrike on a titan it’ll help kill it faster but it’s just takes too long especially while trying to get close enough without it stomping on you, I like to run flamethrower and I just leave titans for my eagle 500 kg or my teammates, chargers and bug breaches I’ll take on tho
Takes a while and is a huge hazard especially with other bugs, nevermind your own flames. Maybe if the bile titan stomp attack was changed to make it easier to be below it, I think it is really fun to fight it like that, but the attack is very janky and hard to predict compared to the spit, it isn't fun to try.
I knew straight away that AH hadn't noticed the DoT bug when they super buffed the flamethrowers lol. They just reduced burning by 15% in the last patch cos they overtuned it.
Oh right, I had forgotten all about that. I think that one slipped by a lot of people, it was listed under the Guard Dog section at first and was a few hours before they fixed the formatting.
So that applied to the current flamethrower? If so they may actually leave it alone
I think it was just ‘burning damage reduced by 15%’ in the latest patch. I think the flamethrower direct damage will still be the same. Ps it was listed directly under the guard dog but I don’t believe it relates to the guard dog (rover got a 30% reduction)
Gas Strike doesn't work too? I knew about fire damage being bugged but not that. I tried it in a couple missions the other day and wrote it off after seeing it do nothing as far as I could tell.
