u forgot > crossbow needs to lowers ricochet CD ....why doesnt already is something i will never understand

Using current numbers:
ACB is 120 PPS.
FT is 100 PPS.
Ricochet every 2 ACB would be 50 PPS.
Spreadshot is 72 PPS and 5 heat.

Assuming ACB would reduce R cooldown by 15s, that would raise ACB potency worth to 145 pps.
FT over 10 seconds is 1000-1100 potency.
ACB+R over 10 seconds would be 1450 potency.
Spreadshot over 10 seconds is 720 potency.

With scattergun on higher potency and generating 10 heat, it's obvious that Flamethrower would die and its only optimal use would be tick fishing or using the downtime to grab a coffee.
Which I wouldn't mind if Flamethrower was truly relegated to the emote state until they rework it.

It's probably the most boring Flamethrower I've ever seen in a video game.
