The Flamethrower Turret is a deployable skill which deploys a turret to burn enemies at close range.
Details
Special Effects:
Throws an arcing projectile which explodes on contact with an enemy or a horizontal surface.
The projectile bounces off of a Shieldbearer's shield without detonating.
Upon explosion, deploys a flamethrower turret.
Turret spews flames out of both sides in 2-second bursts whenever an enemy is in range, inflicting victims with burning effects.
Burning effects last for 2 seconds and deal 8 base burning DPS per effect.
Turret must wait for at least 3.6 seconds between flame bursts.
Turret can be destroyed - remaining health is indicated by a small yellow bar above the turret.
Only one turret per Flamethrower Turret skill can be active at a time - attempting to deploy a second turret will destroy the first one.
Turret ceases to function if the player goes too far away, but resumes operation once the player comes back into range.
