Guild Wars 2

We all got butt*aped by those cof flame thrower guys once, right? Now … I wonder if you would stay at the current FT or would you pick this one, if you could:

• damage of flame jet increased by 100%
• flame jet reduces the movement speed by 50%

something like that :o i’d like to try it :> imba? up? :o think about it for pve and pvp

funfact:
on launch the juggernaut trait granted permanent stability while wielding a flamethrower and decreased your movement by 50%.
turned out that it was
a) hurting the concept of fast-paced combat for the engi.
b) was perceived as too cheap cc-escape for the engi from other classes.
therefore we got the mightstacks instead. to increase its offensive capabilities.
still FT was subpar for a long time since the base dmg was simply too low and there was no real utility on that kit, appart from #3’s knockback and the insta-blind on #5 for stomping.
the recent changes to give it lots of blast-finishers (welp, one with a really short cd) and the 33% dps increase made it a viable choice again that I’m totally happy with.
the only thing I personally wish for is to change napalm into a circular field, since blasting that thin line is a PITA for most of the times.

i’d only change its reta weakness – make it hit 5 times in 2,25 seconds like fumigate, not 10

^^There are times I’d like to use FT, but often that’s cut out due to the retal issues. Adjust taht in a meaningful way and I think it’d get a bit mroe use.
