Either your missing his point or you are chosen to ignore it. Which leaves you closer to death? If I throw a grenade at you that takes all but one hit right away? Or if I throw one that zaps you for a portion and then sizzles all but 1 hit from you? Dose that make it easier?

They both leave you close to death considering with firebolt/Viking funeral regardless of when you take additional damage you'll burn out all the same. The difference is any other grenade will leave you one shot. But then depending on your recovery stat you can start to heal and get back in the fight. With Viking funeral/firebolt it takes about 9-12 seconds depending on recovery stat to not be one shot and then another second or so before fully healed. That many seconds in game is an eternity

You are almost there. Now consider this. Most people throw bolts to keep you away or from afar. Not many get right in front of you like a fusion or that funky trip mine trick lol. In your view you are burning and need time to heal. In my view your lucky you have that. I hope they take that burn (which is also counterable) away. We will -blam!- the world of trials because of crybabies. Thanks to people like you all damage upfront straight up. You don't know how much I'm waiting for that hahahaha

You have no idea!! I'd love that! I'd rather it just leave you with 1 hp instead of the burn. (maybe that's a bit too powerful, but you get my point)
