Waaaaaaay too many down things

Extra damage, more range, but REALLY low ammo or high ammo depletion rate, and really low afterburn.

This.

Maybe a no-airblast flamethrower like the Phlog, making it an ideal offensive weapon and direct opposite to the Degreaser's Puff N' Sting tactics. And a much better way to deal with enemy Demoknights and Pyros. But it should indeed be significantly weaker on afterburn.

Only if Valve actually TOOK these suggestions in consideration when making the stats...

Those were the exact thoughts passing through my head as I typed that, even the bit about Valve not taking stuff into consideration...! I was intending it to be LIKE a dragon, but it had to have a downside, so no afterburn and less longevity beacuse the fire is MAGIC!

Positive
+33% Afterburn Damage Bonus
+25% Afterburn Duration
Afterburn cannot be completely extinguished - merely reduced to 2.5 seconds more afterburn (unless touching Resupply Locker), all healing sources will reduce time but start healing only after the 2.5 seconds is over, Pyros and other weapons which prevent afterburn now get 2.5 seconds of afterburn. EDIT: Exceptions are the Spycicle and the Dead Ringer as they will be rendered useless if afterburn continues.

Negative
-25% Maximum Ammo
-20% Direct Fire Damage Penalty

Here's what I think;

Negatives

-25% health on wearer
-20% faster weapon switch
-10% faster move speed
-5% Airblast knockback
No random critical hits


Or it can just be a reskin :P

Too strong buffs and too weak nerfs, but I suppose this makes it balanced, still...

So now Pyro has 130 Health AND moves slower than a Demoman?

I like these stats. Afterburn is pretty fun to use for me and I've been wanting Valve to add a Flamethrower based on afterburn.

In my opinion afterburn's purpose is just a bonus to cause disorder to the enemy team by forcing them to find ways of extinguishing it, but since there are now so many anti-afterburn functions this is ability is almost obsolete...

Well, if the fact that afterburn ALWAYS was where it wasn't completely extinguished might revive it just a bit. Valve would probably never add that though.

Also added range on this weapon's stats could help apply afterburn to enemies so you could do more of a "hit-and-run" tactic. May have to nerf one of the other stats though.

its uncompatible :(
