lots of people are thrown off by the new afterburn mechanism, they use health packs way too early, and after I die, like 30 seconds later they die. Against firebirds, if you're hornet m2 you should use a health pack the moment you start getting burned, unless a, you're drugging, b, you have paints against it, c, you've got isidas behind you, d you can kill the firebird quickly (rail, thunder,smoky etc.), e, you've seen the firebird get shot so you know it has little hp left.

Awesome weapon. This is one of my favorite weapons. It hits a lot and the afterburn is horrifying in the positive way. It's nice that the afterburn stays so long :D

Afterburn is too overpowered. 30 seconds, SERIOUSLY?

It's regular damage is already very high. They should lower it to 15 seconds or something.

Someone said that M3's afterburn gets as high as 55 seconds - is this true?

Though Firebirds aren't that annoying in matches since I'm capable of maneuvering my Freeze to such an extent that they can't even hit me but I will still be getting Inferno.

I use a M2 Hornet...

After the rebalancing I noticed a new behavior when hit by a Firebird: even if it just slightly touches you with the flame, you slowly but inesorably end up in an explosion after slow burning!

It takes more than 30 seconds (if not more) before stopping the fire consumption of your tank.

In the meantime either you are supported by a fellow Isida or you have to use your precious first aid kit...

... or simply accept to die.

My question is: isn't this rebalancing too... unbalanced for the burning effect of the Firebird?

Yes,  but the Isida can continue to give heath to you until the burning effect is over 

What I don't like is that the burning effect lasts too long, in my opinion...

I agree that Firebird is a short range so needs a powerful weapon, but how it has been adjusted is too much: more power to the flame, less time to burn a tank after the hit, that would be better....

Personally I find the effect slightly unbalanced. Also, fire deals a lot of damage when hitting you. Generally, fire is OP. So are twins and rico.

+ Not fair for the opp team if they have  no freeze or isida.
