can we increase the flamethrower range?

I think my previously posted suggestion, wherever it ended up being, was that FT should deal bonus damage to enemies that are suffering the BioBlaster DOT

2 problems with this idea:
Flamethrower by itself, ST and AOE, would remain a boring "don't move for X seconds and let the game plays for you."

This would be Stormblood all over again and the tick fishing will be back.
Remember being at 90/95 heat during Stormblood, using Flamethrower but not getting a tick and failing to enter Overheat for your burst window?
We could also have possible jank about the dot not refreshing correctly or missing a dot tick.
Even if SQEX keeps the Flamethrower on GCD we're going to suffer tick fishing again.

In short, the inherent problems to Flamethrower would remain and would possibly add one because of how Flamethrower and the dots are weirdly coded.

Easy solution is to not have it tick up heat, but dump 50 heat at the end of its duration. Which would also require you to not interrupt it early.
But SE seems allergic to risk:reward situations like that.
