This skill costs 5 SP on a class that is already quite starved for it, so could its effects be made a little better?

I'm thinking of:

- The targeting range should be the same as Firthrower, where it is shaped like a crescent cone.
- The scaling should start from 90% Fire ATK and SWA, and grow as 90/100/110/120/130.
- If there are no Ice Sheets on the area, it creates Cinders for 3 rounds (LV = 75% of damage).

That be all.

I imagine you meant 75% Fire ATK Cinders and not 75% of Damage, right?

If not, lemme just show you why that'd be a REALLY bad idea, with a Specialized/Spirited Flamethrower and 110 SWA and 80 Fire ATK and your proposed scaling adjustments, you'd be looking at LV199 Cinders.


Here's some changes I'd suggest:
- Crunched down to 3SP.
- Becomes a Cone Area instead of a Line. (I agree with this idea.)
- Damage adjusted to 100/110/120% SWA + 80/90/100% Fire ATK. Burn LV adjusted to 10/20/30.
- Damage further increased based on Explosive Art's effectiveness.
- Now also burns down Plants in the area. (Does 10 Damage to Plant Objects like Druid Plants instead.)

Oop, yeah that. 75% of Fire ATK.

My mistake.

And yeah all of those things are also cool. About the SP crunch, that is the reason why I'd want it buffed. If it costs 5 SP it should be strong, is my thought process about it.

[Slydria]

Yeah but considering the direction the game's SP economy is moving and how much expensive stuff is already in Engineer, I think it would be better if it got crunched regardless.

[Snake]

I suppose, yeah. We'll have to see where boss man will want to take it for Engie. Just hope Flamethrower gets some love, being the only expected-to-be reliable offensive skill in Engineer, done by the Engineer itself, given that Grenade Launcher got nerfed.

I would also be fine with a wide line if a cone is too jank.

[Raigen.Convict]

Make Engineer the better fire mage (jk) I would honestly find it making Cinders pretty cool.

A lot of engineer in general should be 3 rank max IMO. Flamethrower is OK it just costs too much on a class with outstanding skills, so it's never worth it to go out of your way to pick it.
