requires better aim than a rocket or sticky
smaller radius
it seems pretty similar
and unlike the former an arc
ill admit the arc makes it a little more difficult from long range but it's still not that hard to land a burn; and short to mid range is obviously a cake walk
It does 6 per second for 10 seconds + the 20 for the initial hit which is 80 total, or if you get a minicrit for hitting a burning player that's 101 (only enough to kill a kunai spy). For comparison standard flare does 90 or 150 to burning players (enough to kill any light class).
well yea on it's own it doesn't do that much damage when up against an enemy with full health but if you use flamethrower for a second then switch to scorch it works too well as a combo (also for if the enemy is already somewhat damaged).
Sure flaregun can be more deadly but it's very dodge-able unless you use the degreaser.
I think either lowering the afterburn time
or damage would be a fair nerf.
