Can I get a critique on this. I’m very green and could use advice. I’m looking for a flamethrower build and couldn’t decide if I should flamethrower with bombs/nades or the one I just made here:

Please critique runes etc. Thanks!

Hmmm, not sure why it says bad link. I guess if you copy and paste the link works.

Firstly: You can only have 1 jewel per amulet in PvP. But aside from that, its mostly a matter of opinion. And here is mine:

You are splitting yourself up too much. Yes the FT benefits from power and condition damage, but going both? Leaves you no crit, and the FT is a crit machine. My advice?

Go for the rifle, rune of the knight/berserker and go with this build:

Reason for changes- Power FT works really nicely, and that build has 300 condition damage from firearms so it has a reasonable mix of both. And, it has a reasonably high crit as well, so your FT can trigger bleed, burn and vulnerability.

Also changed elixir s for Elixir R, as elixir R seems better, and isn’t bugged. R gives you a stun break and two guaranteed dodges S gives you evasion for 3s, but a longer cooldown and no weapon skills during. IMO, two dodges are pretty much the same as what S offers you.

And the thrown version works nicely on so many levels.

The build also has quite good condition removal from the elixirs, so you’ll manage nicely with that.

General idea is: keep your FT on for most of the time, while using rifle for the big hits and range. Use it for the net to get to people, for the odd blunderbuss/jumpshot before going back to roasting.

So you don’t think the shield abilities are worth it? Also does this buid have good survivability?

Thank You for the advice! Looking at it now!

For PvP it should do, condition removal is high, and your HP is off the charts. Toughness.. not so much.

And unless you are going for a conditions build, I don’t see shield worth it. Shield is fine… but I don’t agree much with the pistol.
2s single target bleed lol

You’re better served with a power build, unless they really buff pistol.

I’m not seeing rune of the knight/berserker, am I missing something?
