I have too many dps toons. I want to diversify my portfolio a bit. I have a fire dps'er that I'd like to switch over to spamming flamethrower. So, I'm deliberatin... what is the best way to use flamethrower in a build?
The obvious thing flamethrower has going for it is the stun. So, I'm thinking sentinel mastery or straight-up cc. I like my toon's theme, and I don't want to relegate them to a very niche roll that I never get to use. And I would like him to have some value on a team.
My brainstorming efforts on this topic have been more akin to a gentle breeze. So, any good ideas out there for pyromaniacal fun-times?

Combine it with Absorb Heat to be the pyromaniacal support person you were destined to be.
Now hold it, we are into something 👀

Can take the Sentinel spec/Mastery approach if you want (less personal dps then, but boosts the support/CC aspect). You can use the free movement of Flamethrower to get up and throw Mini Mines in front of a mob, as well as simply to adjust Flamethrower's narrower cone. I took the Fire ult just to try it out- it's not amazing, but adds some burst AoE dmg and CC. Gears mostly for Int, w/ some Con and End or Dex.
