Arsonist, The Manic Incendiary

The Arsonist is a close-ranged tank who uses fire as a means to an end. Managing his Overheat meter allows him to deal high amounts of damage to groups of enemies. Balance is crucial to victory.

• Your attacks will be weaker when you’re overheating. If you’re in a tight spot, Cleanse can immediately end the overheating period in exchange for extending its cooldown duration.
• Zero-Point Blast’s distance correlates to movement speed.
• Cleanse can be used to negate the fire damage received by Arsonist's passive.
• Dragon's Fury's fire proc chance scales with your distance to the enemy, close the gap to deal more damage.

Known Issues

• The UI Gauge is affected by the Guilded Coast water for some reason. Purely cosmetic, only affects how the UI is rendered.
• If someone can tell me how to implement a rope affected by gravity between two fixed objects (gun and the backpack), I'd like some help.
• Odd issues could possibly require a restart or file validation. Please try that and contact me (ethanol10) for bugs with a log file.
• Some options do not do anything (I think), If it doesn't do anything immediately consider reverting that option to avoid unintended effects. (One such option is the enableOldLoadout toggle, though I do believe this is disabled.)
