Editing Firebug (section)

==Helping the Firebug==

*The Firebug doesn’t always do enough damage to exterminate the specimens that are rushing towards him, so be prepared to finish off the smaller, faster specimens, as well as the larger ones with more health, especially the Gorefasts and Bloats, with supporting fire. Firebugs are horrible versus Scrakes and Fleshpounds, and need help in eliminating them. Husks are also 50% resistant to a Firebug's Flamethrower. If you see a Firebug struggling to kill a Husk with a Flamethrower, they would probably appreciate help. Remember, however, that they are highly resistant or invulnerable to the fire damage the Husk does, and you are not, so try to avoid attracting its attention to you while attacking it.

*If at all possible, don't kill a burning specimen. The longer the specimen burns, the more burn damage the Firebug gets, and the faster they rank up. The obvious exceptions are Fleshpounds, Scrakes, and Gorefasts that get too close without 'crisping up'. Husks are also a viable target if the Firebug is having trouble with them.

*The Firebug is a supporting class; he is there to ensure that you do not get overrun, so choose a suitable place to fight from where he can provide you covering fire without having to put himself in danger to do so.
