A: for when u want to mock your victim by plunging your sword really deep.
B: it's space metal.

See how easy that was;)

This is a game where you can run around as a golden ninja that fights with tentacles and a giant laser gun- I don't think realism is too important. Have you considered the fire is meant for appearance, and looks better at the base?

And to play the realism game as well, what if the rapier is made of some heat resistant metal that won't bend?

There's no point in telling someone to redesign a purely cosmetic item in a sci-fi/fantasy game because its unrealistic, if you want something that's so accurate then why don't you design a "realistic" skin yourself instead of needlessly attacking others' hard work?

I mean who says that the metal doesn't have a huge heat capacity? This not only wouldn't make the metal bend, but it would also heat up the rest of the blade. That would essentially still make it a functional rapier, without the flames getting too much in the way, so it can be used like one.

The heat/flames is basically more salt in the wound.

I agree that for effectifveness, the flames should be at the front of the blade rather than the base, but:
A: It's a cosmetic item, it doesn't add any fire damage.
B: Now imagine impaling someone who is now going to be burned around the point of impact.
C: Grineer rapier. Why resist this.

They hated Jesus, for he spoke the truth.

"It's not the way I want it so it sucks"

I think he means the fire is too "straight". Maybe make the fire more "wild" and maybe show the metal of the blade glow with heat around the fire on the base. Still a fantastic design though.

yeah and i was complimenting his incredible brain capacity, check your privilege dude

because the fire emits from the grip, not the blade?

If the heat originates from the hilt, then by the tip of the blade the heat would dissipate. Space metal probably has better insulation than metals from Earth.

You conplain abou the realism of the metal, but how exactly whould the gas that ignites to make the fire travel up the blade to start at the tip?
