After twice bringing this issue up in the PTS and also trying to contact yannick through twitter and getting no official response either way ill try yet again...

Firestarter expertise upgrade bonus needs to be changed at the moment it is "damage" this only applies to the initial explosion not to the burn this makes expertise/proficiency on this skill not worth any time/effort to raise.

For example the Burn sticky bomb gets a burn damage increase it make no sense that firestarter does not have the same bonus this needs to be fixed ASAP.

Riot Foam expertise upgrade bonus is Ensnare Health this is totally useless and also makes the skill not worth the time or effort to raise it's expertise /proficiency this skill should get an ensnare duration bonus to make it worth the effort and again should be fixed ASAP.

These 2 skills are part of my two most played and imho fun builds and i'm a little annoyed that they have both been ignored by the devs even after the issues have been pointed out by me and others during the PTS.

Hello @D-A-R-N,

Thanks for reaching out and apologies for the delayed reply.

I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing an issue with firestarter and riot foam expertise upgrade bonuses.

Can I kindly ask you to provide us with a few short videos of this occurring, so we can pass them along to the development team for further investigation?

Many thanks and if you have any additional questions, please let us know.

Hello everyone, thank you for the feedback on the Firestarter Chem Launcher and Riot Foam Grenade expertise bouses and your disappointment when using them in-game.

I have made note of this thread and have passed this feedback over to our Division team to document. I can not promise you will receive any kind of official answer from our devs on this topic, but your concerns have been noted.
 
As this is not a bug report but rather feedback on some of the game's specializations and skill mods, this thread will be moved to our General Discussion area, thank you.
