The flamethrower always missed or is obstructed, even when i’m right infront of the target firing…

Its rediculous.

Yeah, you really have to use it a good bit to get to know its limitations, mind you these are not weapon based issues as in skill or something, but faulty code or just aim old bugs

yeah its in the extensive bugs lists.

Skill #1 – The damage cone is actually where your camera is pointing not always where the flame animation is so it takes some practice to figure is out.

Skill #2 – You only get the explosion damage at max range, and if there is really anything in front of you, like a blade of grass even, it will usually get obstructed. If you aim your camera at the sky before you fire you will have better results.

Skill #3 – if you try and use #2 right after the blowback it will almost always get obstructed. If you wait untill #3 icon stops flashing after you use it and the CD numbers come up then #2 will actually work.

tip for mobs – after using the blowback, dodge back once, then use Skill #2 and you will get better results and it will make up for how the mobs charge right back at you.

Flamethrower should be unblockable and have a huge damage range, its a flamethrower.
