why if the projectile speed is slower, why would there be less of an ark

I was thinking as I had looked at the projectile model that it look like it could self propel itself and so it could travel in more of a straight line and the -projectile speed because of its size.

Pros
+15% damage
Direct hits melt the enemy
10x10 blast radius

Cons
-50% projectile speed
3 second reload
-30% movement speed while active
does less damage the further the enemy is from the blast radius (goes down in 5's)

Im thinking a shotgun flaregun would be pretty cool here.

So it fires pellets that ignite the enemy team?

It's supposed too be a shotty with flaregun animations

When a flare is shot it explodes in mid-air releasing 3 mini flares.
They land on the ground, creating little pools of fire.
When walked over will ignite the enemy.

Just lookin to change things up a bit ;)

Fires three flares in burst, but only using one ammo, that do 1/3 the normal damage of a flare. When they hit the ground, they explode into three smaller flares, on a minicrit it explodes into 5, and on a crit into ten! Miniflares do 1/3 the damage of the big flares.

Three times the reaload time.
*The idea for the flares exploding into smaller ones came from the Goguler's comment.

Shotgun-ish stats:

+30% extra bullets per shot (Deals up to 108 damage at point blank range)
+On Direct Kill: The next shot made will ignite enemies.

-84% less clip capacity (only 1 clip carried at a time).
-50% slower reloading speed (1.5secs to reload).
-Direct Kill Buff is lost upon switching away from the Burst Shot for more than 3 seconds (switching back stops this, but not reset it - e.g. switching away for 2 seconds then switching back gives you 1 second of the buff if you switch again)

Give or take a nerf/buff, just thinking it could be still used as a combo - pairing weapon, finishing off an enemy, but also has afterburning properties for stronger enemies that keep far from the pyro (and out of their flamethrower range).

-20% fire rate
-15% afterburn damage
+25% damage on direct hit

Secondary fire sets off the flare midair, sending fragments of really hot metal hurling in a forwards focused direction. Shrapnel does not ignite targets.

(Hidden stats) Only minicrits burning targets. Shrapnel counts as fire damage in the case of resistances and vulnerabilities.

Skill shots people. How about detonate right before hitting someone for increased damage but no afterburn?

So you could meatshot somebody with the flare, that sounds like a good idea.
