The flamethrower needs more power ....

[/Zero\]

The flamethrower is cool, but the problem is that it does not make enough dps even with weapon related bonuses.

The secret is using "Fury of the Faithful" once you put enough of DoT stacks.

But yeah, without it - pretty lame weapon.

[2D > 3D WEEB 4 LIFE]

It's a good niche weapon.

nah its a noobtrap should be deleted not buffed.

Buffing it = No more noobtrap.

It was a perfectly good weapon then FS Nerfed it into the ground.

It's a pretty fun trash cleaner, but it must have some other uses to be good. Otherwise it's barely any better than a light axe (and you can probably kill trash faster with the axe anyway).

Best hordeclearer option for zealot. Ofc now it doesnt burn crusher stacks, but it shouldnt in the first place

[[Countess]Vol†z]

It used to be a great room clearer back in the day. Used to kill everything including elites when paired with chastise's armor ignoring perk. They nerfed it pretty hard, now it's just a gimmick weapon, only good for having fun on Malice and below.

Zealot himself with about half of his melee arsenal (mostly faster and lighter weapons) is a much better trash-cleaning option.

[just.dont.do.it]

One rather big problem with the flamethrower as is - it's not really possible to tell which enemies are going to die from burn damage and which one will continue to whack at you while being "well done". It's one of the most obscure weapons out there, and proper timings can be only obtained via experience which a particular given flamethrower / difficulty.

Flamer is AMAZING at what it does, and that's stagger entire hordes before you and the squad drop 'em. Literally the best CC weapon in the game if you run it on a solid melee build.

[Hunny]

On Damnation it works well with some support, not so much taking trash wave alone, though doubt any weapon is balanced to take something alone.

[RED]

It's what I run on my melee zealot build, made it a trash clearer and crusher-wave helper, all damage buffs to carapace enemies and the like - plus good burn time, cloud radius, and ammo.

Handles trash hordes and staggers just fine on Damnation.

i think its still pretty good. it clears hordes like there is no tomorrow and you can grill monsters with it if you´re willing to spend alot of ammo.

Have you ever tried well-done Beast of Nurgle? Asking for a friend.
