    Im gonna be really frank with you guys. Fire bomb nerf didn’t work. I mean seriously, I’m on the outside of it, get hit by it, and then I’m on fire for 65 dmg/ second for 19 seconds. I’m wondering why this sudden love for fire weapons, and yet the frost weapons get the butt of the nerfing. Not balanced.

    Can you share the battle replay so we can see that you were outside of it?

    The firebomb circle is just super poorly made as it doesn't really show where it's hitting the water most times. I feel the mortars work much better, maybe because they hit the water quicker & waves have less time to change.

    That was buff not nerf for firebomb. Useless, it should be less damage for less duration at edge. Promote proper usage of weapon not spamming I see lots of shooter having more than 2 firebombs.

    Seriously man there has been a lot of increase in fire bomb and all the players seems to have one now and sometimes 2 or 3. I know for sure devs are gonna nerf it in next update if they go by stats but it will be too late atleast for me.

    People complained that they were getting hit on the edge of the firebomb, and even though the damage was low, the duration and increased cannon damage was the killer.
    So Rovio listened and changed it, so that the duration is reduced the further from the centre you are, but it will tick for the full damage.
    Now you want damaged minimised and duration minimised, might as well throw it on the pile with frost if that is the case.

    The one issue I have with firebomb is it constantly hits for very long duration even when outside of the circle. I'll make a note to record it next time this happens, but it's the only mortar weapon that does this.

    Wait, you mean I'm not the only one to get hit by a 10 second burn slightly outside the FB circle?

    I get hit for 1 second by firebomb on the edge. The circle always is a more forward than what is shown.

    I can’t because I wasn’t recording the battle. But I’ll make a video to show you what I mean.

    It’s like 10 seconds if you are on the edge. Fire weapons are extremely powerful and they definetly over power the frost ones. Not fair.

    I've been noticing what seemed like surprisingly long burn times when I was on the very edge of the circle. I've also thought "Wait, I thought I was out of the ring" and still got hit with several seconds of burn. I can't say for sure but I do think Rovio ought to investigate the falloff radius on FB and make sure it's working as intended.

    There are times I only take a few seconds of fire at the edge, other times I take a good 10 - 15 seconds. Not sure if it's a bug but it's damn annoying.

    There was taking high damage from the edge too before the update. Not just fire bomb all mortars. I don't think if it is a bug but it will good to get an explain from devs.

    It's hit and miss. Usually when my FB catches an opposing player on the fringe, it does a 1 sec tick or doesn't count. Reversed it really sucks.

    This should be looked at in line with Mortars though. A mortar shot on the fringe deals significantly more damage than what a Fire Bomb would and there should be no difference.

    Excuse me?

    Part of my responsibilities as MVP is being polite. However.

    Did you even read the whole post before commenting? Or are you being a troll?

    Actually, that's not the issue here. I got burned for 10 seconds on the outer rim of an FB the other day in Chillzone. At first I thought it was the result of another FB. But I think someone should look into the outer rims of the FB.

    I’m a mk5 at 3600+ Infamy. So yes I do have an opinion on what’s overpowered and what’s not. I’m also a free to play player. All skill. Anything else snide you wanna say?
