What's the math on duration vs power perks for a leggy flare gun?

    Just got a rare power perk from raffle and I'm just wondering if it's worth to knock a rare duration perk out of place for it.

    I personally chose rare duration over epic damage in my flare gun, but it depends on what you prefer; more and faster damage or longer duration of effect.

    Well i used to use flare gun. I think the basic dmg calculation is dmg x duration. So imo the calculation should go this way
    1. = (Dmg+additional dmg) x duration
    2. = Dmg x (duration+additional duration)

    If you ran the flare + cannon with burn perk combo, duration make much more sense comparing to damage, longer time so you can make the shot easier. But if you have more weapons like shooter and the flare cann is not the main game changer for you i would go damage.

    With the -+ 10% from flare gun, the damage output should be some what very close to each other, i believe. Or you can give me 300 pearls to remove the perks and i can test it for you lol.

    If he's already running the Flare gun now, I would assume that he's set up for the burn damage combo with Blast/Explosive cannons, in which case, duration is better because it gives you a potential chance at getting another shot in. And even if he doesn't, a teammate might.
