Thread: Damage check please : flame thrower
Just made my first flamethrower and got a 420-827 5.0 weapon. I am wondering how this stacks up against others as far as damage / speed (unsliced of course). HAMs are 77/18/19
Thanks in advance !
this is what confuses me .. damage and speed go hand in hand in the experimentation .. your getting much lower max damage than I do (836) bu...................are you using advanced parts? I.E. handlers?
429-836 4.7 are my newest build on Flamethrowers (havent even put them out to the vendors yet)
nicolasa is probably using adv rifle barrels instead of non-adv ones
blither is probably using non-adv power handlers for more speed.
the faster you can make a flamethrower the better, giving up 20 or 30 damage to drop .3 or .4 speed is well worth it. If you have ever used one you would know why.
FT's are slow slow slow, most of the commando's i sell to want speed sliced with the lowest base speed they can get. Most will buy as many as it takes to get that 30 percent plus speed slice.
As a former commando i can tell you anyone low in the flame tree wants a fast flamer, anyone past flame 4 or at master lvls will want damage. just my opinion.

It's true that a Master Commando the speed for the autoattack isn't that important anymore, for the special timer, it still is even at master.
