Sad I rarely go under Hell on earth.
You seem to forget this so.
Firestorm = More range = dps/cc sooner.
1-
You did. By stating to put back splash damage skill and making a passive "Firestorm". Yes it isn't alot of damage on the spot but still count. When you want to add damage to a class. It's because you find it weak.
2- Firebug=Class Firestorm=Perk
3-The idea of changing something in existence is a work around.
4.a-At maximum range Sc die generaly before getting to you.
4.b-Flamethrower is the best at applying the flame debuff, zed panicking while engulfed in flame. Also the alt. with mwg spam. They are all more then enough to free your mates. With firestorm you can do it from further.
5-Yes. Its the point of using firestorm. Oh but yes you can do it with heatwave. But heatwave only work on close up not at further range.
6-Perk
yromaniac... is best suited for ballistic weapon. No ammo needed, realtime shooting speed...
7-It was to proove the earlieast point. That it doesn't need to be changed in any way.
Thats weird firestorm can't be looked at has single cluster. Firebug class perk and related perk are like any other. Best seen has a whole, taking one perk out of it's class and analysing doesn't reflect it's utility and usage.
Oh just for the kick. Heat wave + Firestorm mixed together. Far to powerfull. Game breaking potential here.
Splash + Firestorm is almost of the same level. No need for firebug player to get to 1.5k kills in 10 wave hell on earth survival game. 1k is enough don't you agree?
Good day kind sir.
