Firthrowers, and throwers as a category (even if there's only just one right now!) could be so much cooler than just a straight line. They don't really compare in the slightest to launchers (well, jackhammer) for AoE, even if they feel like they're meant to be complements to each other.
So I suggest... making firthrowers and any future throwers attack in a cone shape! Similar to how hyattr breath works right now. That is, it starts in a 3-tile wide line, but after every two tiles, it gets an extra tile wider on either side.
You - three wide - three wide - five wide - five wide - seven - seven, so on.
The base firthrower could be 4 tiles long, for example. But... things that increase attack range, like Gigantic and Long Barrels, could increase the length of the line by 1 instead, the width growing with it. As is, they do nothing.

Gigantic or Long Barrel range

(Not really a 'balance change', but a new squirt gun thrower that applies soaked would be funny, pls dev)
