they need to Replace the (Explosion damage with Periodic Damage.) ‘Damage over Time’
its an AOE weapon /Damage Over Time. to support the team. not a Cannon !
[ Incinerators ] don't need Explos Damage , they need more 'Periodic Damage. it's an AOE /DOT Weapon

Yeah their decision to nerf it like that and put the “main focus” of the gun to be the explosion of the canister of fuel hitting the enemy rather than the fire puddle doing the damage was pretty retarded
But then again the main reason they nerfed it to the ground to begin with had nothing to do with balance or gameplay, but because Jotuns came out and they just were a worse incinerator right out of the box so they had to destroy incinerators to get the inci enjoyers to buy jotuns and spend sweet sweet money

ya i was thinking ever since i got 8k points in a patrol match because the bots would just sit in the puddle/ after the update now they run away from it.
'they nerfed it before they updated the bots running away from the puddle.
they should put it back the way it was n leave the updated bots to run from the puddle.
i like the initial hit damage they do but the problem is it needs to be a direct hit to do the damage.
i also really dislike how bots just run out of the puddle or completely avoid it. it just makes dealing damage all that more troublesome. ive tried jotuns in raids but they just dont do as much anymore as they used to. ever since they updated the bots to book it out of the puddles its just caused the jotuns and incinerators to struggle.
the problem is you have to hit the enemy directly with the jotun and incinerator to get the perk going at a reasonable pace. i mean it does decent hit damage but having the focus of the weapon being hitting someone directly instead of them being in the puddle is kind of pointless.
another thing is that enemies constantly avoid and run out of the puddles as i stated above, this causes the weapons to be less effective. in raids its just not really that useful. in pve in general its alot more tedious cause you got enemies with hard hitting weapons like mastodons but they just drive out of your puddles as you hit them with it. sure it helps your team mates but your damage output on them falls off alot unless you got a stupidly fast reload and can keep pelting them with jotun / incinerator shots.
