Firebug skill: Barbecue is very weak and should receive a buff

[LunaticMaster]

The latest buffs to Firebug and it's arsenal has made the Ground fire perk even more powerful! That is fine but now the weaker skill the Barbecua has been left to gather dust in the corner.
So in order to make the Barbecue skill more interesting and stronger, i have few buff ideas here!

1. Make the Barbecue skill increase the after burn damage by 30%. Currently the after burn damage is very weak and together with the extremely short after burn duration, the trash Zeds sometimes survive being lit on fire! How horrible!
2. Zeds lit on fire move 10% more slowly than usual.

Ok what do you guys think? Do you agree that the Barbecue skill is a lot weaker than the Ground fire skill? Therefor some kind of buff for the Barbecue is in order.

I never even consider using BBQ..

Ground fire all day no matter what load out.

And that is why it needs to be buffed. Because it's bad and nobody uses it. A pointless and a weak skill...

What do you think about my small buff idea for the Barbecue skill? Would you try it?

Why not.
Tbh i still find use for BBQ on spitfires and helios (ground fire on spits feels wack imo)
And if i remember correctly, BBQ can out damage ground fire... but it takes a bit longer vs groundfire's a couple seconds of 2x dmg multiplier

So yeh, a buff to that skill is welcome.

Same thing. I use BBQ for weapons I'd never shoot the ground with : Spitfire, Helios Rifle (and until the latest update : the trenchgun). So It's not exactly worthless... just highly dependent on your loadout.

It is true that it could use a lil' buff though. Afterburn was waaay more effective in KF1.

I was basically stating I don't consider BBQ at all currently - so yes, a buff would be nice so we feel like there is a real "choice" to be made when picking the perk.

Meanwhile I'm out there spamming ground shots with spitfires when I see a big crowd coming lmao...
