Hi there,

I just made novice Commando on Tuesday (Patch 8 day) and I noticed that my Flamethrower Flame DoT only ever seems to tick on health. I was under the impression (from being lit on fire various times in the past) that a Flamethrower would randomly DoT one of the HAM bars, not always health. I am fairly sure that in going from 2010 to 2020 that I have only ever seen a health flame.

This could be something that was changed a while ago and I just didn't know, or it could be new. Anyhow, let me know.

Thanks.

PS. I would like to also thank the Crispy Quenkers that were a part of this experiment. May they rest in peace.

Flamethrower has always hit the health bar.

Ancient weapons and hokey religions are no match for a rocket launcher in your backpack.

Ahhh... I see....

Thanks, sorry for the noob question. I don't know where I got the idea that the burn was random. Well, that might make some pistoleer Body Shot3 a little more important.

Edit: Changed pistoleer shot from Health to Body.

The initial hit can hit any of the hams but the burn will only hit health.

Personally It would go a long way in powering up commandoes ( and beleive me, they need all the help they can get ) if the flame landed on a random stat. Either that or designate each flame to attack a specific stat so you would have control and versatility

Considering all other DOT attacks (or as far as I remember) were tweaked to work that way (i.e. initial hit on the same stat the tick affects) in one of the recent patchesit seems strange that we were left out...

It would be nice if it always hit health, when I was leveling I always hated getting a burn on a mob then either miss or hit the other bars. It was annoying seeing my XP vanishing with the burn.
