The flamer was nerfed last year as follows:

I could come up with the following compromise with @illwieckz:

This comprimse was difficult to reach, so while this issue is open to discussion in theory, I'd strongly prefer if y'all would just agree to it with a thumbs up if this proposal is at all acceptable to you, so that we can take some immediate action to get the flamer back into the game. This doesn't have to be the last balance change, just a starting point to find a middle ground between the initial OP and the current UP states.

:shrug: I think additional changes for flamer are required. I'm not convinced this is enough to bring the flamer back into the game, but the flamer is quite weak so this buff is fine.

Having tested the flamer yesterday a bit, I tend to agree, but let's do these changes first and re-evaluate from there. I've talked to @illwieckz on IRC and he'd be fine with the two buffs also without the range nerf; so I'll PR only the two buffs for now.
