I currently have flame 1 and it takes about 11 seconds before I fire again, does it ever get better?

When u lvl up, flame 2 u c a big differemce. When u get flame 4, u have a 45 Flame speed mod so you still will have a slow flamer.

a speed sliced flamethrower is your best friend. Mine is 3 seconds, and makes a world of difference. You also get more speed the higher in the column you go, but for now, slice for speed, damage isn't all its cracked up to be

I have an FT that has a speed about 4.0, and I only fire every 8 - 10 seconds as a Master Commando.How doyou all shoot so quickly. I have found nothing works to help my shoot any faster. I feel so slow in battle.
I had to take a fencer and a TKA into the geo-caves. They tanked for me, without them I'd be useless. I really enjoy being a commando even though many things do not work. I wish I could do things with out a probot, pet, or melee person to tank for me. Without someone to tank, things can go from bad to worse quite quicky.

It basically works that you shoot every (2.3 x the speed of your flamer) seconds, at FTIV. If that guy's firing every 4 seconds, he must have a 1.8 speed flamer. Unless he got a Krayt thrower made at 2.7 speed and got a 35% Speed slice, I don't see how that can happen.

Thanks Razer. I've always wondered how that has worked. Heh, I'll give you all my math questions

Is this delay thing new? I was a commando a few months back and just recently picked it up again, and I don't recall that insane delay when I played it before. I can understand the delay for the fact you won't be able to spam the flame attacks, but what I absolutely hate is the fact if you use a flame attack it delays all combat for 10 seconds or so. I can't fire a completely different weapon until the delay thing runs out, and that's kinda gay in my opinion. It would be like a smuggler holding the weapon the wrong way and shooting himself with panic shot, and delaying himself. I just got flame 3, and havent tested it yet, so I can't see if the delay lowered, but I didnt see a big difference from flame 1 and flame 2.
I wish they finally gave the master smugglers to choose the ability to pick whether you get a speed or damage slice. I bought 3 flamethrowers and all 3 were sliced for damage. One of them got a 34% damage slice which would be pretty damn nice if the flamethrower wasnt 5.3 speed
