Lingering damage has caused problems with thorn to the point it's dot damage has been changed what like 3 maybe 4 times now? The burning makes sense but with a direct hit from the firebolt and then the burning it last far too long and you can't do anything to stop it

& unlike thorn, you can't kill someone with firebolts alone. Thorn was buffed once & nerfed once. What can you do to stop any other grenade from damaging you? At least with firebolts you have a chance to escape, & disengage if you get hit. Other grenades kill you once you're hit.

Firebolts? Plural? You get hit by two of them and it's game over. And run away? If the thrower got a direct hit wih t chances are they are around the corner, and they know exactly where you are, it's more hope to god they leave you alone

Not if you're good. Seriously, you have like an entire second to make a move when the firebolt hits. If you're caught, you should already be running away by the time you get the initial damage. & if you get hit 2 burning firebolts, that's your fault for running into a 2 on 1. Any other subclass will kill you with 2 of their grenades as well.

Jvp you are so dumb. Good players say it's op. Sweatys don't allow 2 sunsingers. 14 sec burn damage and 25 sec until next grenade, and that's just 1, hell what if it's 3 warlocks. Firebolt is an area effect grenade, you don't have to aim it. If you take away firebolt and warlocks cry about it then it indeed is an easy kill crutch. If you cant be successful without firbolt then that just proves how much of a scrub you really are. Grenades don't have to kill you instantly to be effective. Unless warlock is your baby mama class or you were dropped on your head as a kid anyone with a brain will understand that the firebolt grenade is to powerful for the state of the game now

Shhh the grownups are talking.
