I just want them to increase the potency so that it's the strongest skill to use after bio blaster is on cooldown. Also, allow us to move when channeling it since it seems to come with a built in Provoke for enemy AoE. PvP has shown that it's possible to have abilities that can be channeled while moving, so they can incorporate that in PvE scenarios as well. And let it generate like 5 heat per second; we are shooting fire, you know.
Flamethrower do a 80 Potency damage per second in a 10 sec duration, which means 200 Potency per 2.5 GCD. This isn't really much, and it's worse than the Auto Crossbow that have a Potency of 140 every 1.5 sec (Math take this up to 233 Potency per 2.5 GCD, which is 15% Stronger) and don't lock you away from a possible Ricochet usage in between.

Bio Blaster only do a total of 300 Potency AoE, and you have to wait 15 sec in order to make it really effective.

Just to remind you something. Bioblaster and Flamethrower are pretty much useless on Boss. Boss that can summon a whole bunch of add aren't that numerous, and they die fast enough that the Auto Crossbow do the work all alone (+ Chainsaw, which deal a fair amount of damage AoE and can be used with Reassemble).

Channeling a spell for 10 second feel really bad. One option can be this : make Bioblaster and Flamethrower combo with Scattergun. Allowing one of these 3 to generate Battery as well.

Considering the actual Issue with MCH DPS, I know some people desire more tool against single target, in order to make the MCH great on it's own. Putting Marksman's Spite like "Mug" while replacing Flamethrower can be effective in my opinion. Bioblaster will not have many use too, but it can be rebuild into a utility tool for the team (Like a HoT, why not ? You can spread poison, with can't you spread Potion ?)
