Thread: 19% base experimentation = .....884 max flamer?

If a flame thrower is anything like an llc there is a dilema speed is fine but power has its own virtue. Just depends on how you personally use the weapon. It is just that simple, and most of the high level players will agree. There is something of value in getting a supreme hit when the occassion calls for it. If you use your flamer as a first hit or desperation weapon. High damage is what you want. If you want to spam high speed is better.
Example in pvp I never use my llc unless I knock the player down, but if I get in a pinch and it looks like I am going to lose I yank it out and hit the single two. If it works to full effect even an armored opponent will feal the pinch one of these can squeeze out. I have noticed that I can three to four fold the max damage with my llc. Not sure how much a flamer multiplies but even it if it is two fold. Those extra fourty points can come in very practical.
For every person I have had ask me for a fast flamethrower someone else has asked for more power. Just my two cents.
