I agree with Mayson. This didn’t need changing. Fortunately they made fire way more deadly instead of making it safer so now more runs end to fire. AHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I disagree. Catching a pixel of flamer fire, being staggered, and having a groaner hit you for like 80 health damage since you didn’t have toughness felt awful to play around. I think either removing instant toughness break or the slowdown would’ve been fine.
I’m fine with Flamers shredding you or the initial blast from the fire grenade shredding you.
But it was so stupid that just touching the fire with your toe instantly drained your Toughness to 0.
RN I still don’t think it is in good shape, too much damage combined with slow and stagger just makes it severely cheap.
Just to take a page out from L4D2’s Spitter, their damage is a ramping, dealing low initial damage and ramping up every tick. Heck, the damage even ramps down a little towards the end to give some leniency!
Bad latency? Hell, server stability is an issue in itself half the time.

That is literally what they were trying to do but they don’t know how damage works.

The fact that its registered as a “tad overpowered” gives me little hope. I assume its sarcasm, but i also wouldn’t put it past them to change 50 damage per tick to 49 per tick.
Damn, even the fire isn’t safe from getting nerfed.
Oh well, there goes my barbequeing fun.
Fire didn’t require a nerf. Unfortunately, it also had fairly stupid implementation that deserved to be improved. Unfortunately yet again, said stupid implementation was done in such a way that most reasonable changes to it would result in a nerf of fire danger.
However, FS actually handled this situation quite fine and adjusted mobs to compensate, even if not fully.
This aged like milk in the sun, ngl.

Boy howdy i sure do love when the flamer runs up behind a bulwark, fires through, i kill him, and I still lose 3/4ths of my health because i walked forward a little too fast and the game decided the fire was still active. What engaging gameplay.
Very glad that the minimum health to survive fire is literally ogryn with an hp curio or tipple hp on a zealot. Good luck if you want to run a psyker.
Fire works now ayyyyy
