Flamethrower damage

[danbuter]

Is flamethrower damage based upon the "normal weapon you are carrying, or is it completely independent of it? For example, if I plan to just use flamethrower from here on out, do I need to buy better rifles?

I myself have no idea, but I think Vayne has a engineer so I will bumb this and hope he sees it and knows the answer.

I main engi and I do believe it is based on stats. not your norm weapon. I cannot remember for sure as i run an elixir condition damage engi.

Vayne does indeed have an engineer, but he almost never uses the flame thrower. I'd have to test it to be sure. I'll try to do that later today.
