I have no clue if what I'm going to suggest has been suggested once before... but what the hell.

The firebug desperately needs improvement; that perk should be the shizzy, but all he has is a flamethrower, which is really awesome.

Therefore, I suggest that they give him, in addition to other suggestions anyone may have on "beefing" up the firebug perk, Molotov cocktails as throwing projectiles. They burn like a mofo and have wide radius of damage. This would be perfect weapon for the firebug...

ANOTHER FIREBUG TOPIC!

Maybe I should create one, just to make sure people havent missed the 5000 others made in the past week.

Btw Id pick molotovs any day assuming they burn in the ground for a few seconds at least. The current flame grenades are great but they are just one short burst of flame and feel kinda boring...

I still maintain the only real thing the firebug needs is for other classes to be balanced and him to have a cheap, low-medium power weapon like a blowtorch or something that low level firebugs can buy to get off the mark.... and while I think about it have a weapon that the firebug can use to coserve ammo.

Yeah, you are right; molotovs are simply a reduced version of a flamer thrower burst.

But, instead of nades, one could equip the firebug with molotovs and enhance his flamer profile :D...

I fail to see what effect the molotovs will have that isn't achievable with a short burst from the flamethrower.

They could keep burning for a while.
You could make a FIREWALL.
