A forenote, I'm not trying to be offensive.

Yea, just as it would on most other weapons. The main problem with the Ignis though is that it's base damage is... insanely.... insanely... INSANELY low. Another heat based weapon, the Silva & Aegis, has this same exact problem.

It could be a very amazing weapon if they buffed its damage from 35 to something like 45 or even 50. A ten or fifteen point difference doesn't seem like much, hmm? Well, the new Sword & Shield is a good comparison.

Ignoring the fact that it's a crit based weapon, the 50 base damage vs Silva's 35 is a HUGE difference in how much it does when modded. Even if I removed all the crit mods and built it as I would Silva & Aegis, I'd still be using it in all of my missions.

If Ignis got a buff of 10-15 damage, suddenly it'd be like a close range Tonkor, minus the boom and more of the fwoom flesh crackling noises intensify.
