Desirability
Unless fighting foes resistant to fire, Firestarter[1] is a strong weapon. A +7 great mace of flaming is a decent weapon by itself, while the Inner Flame status boosts damage output (even against single targets) and is especially great at crowd-control. Having rF++ on top is nice.
The clear downside of this weapon is that the Inner Flame explosion can damage the wielder, dealing up to 25 damage after considering rF++. Therefore, users should be cautious, and early game characters should not use this weapon. The explosions will also create a loud noise, although noise can be useful to make the most out of the explosions. Fortunately, it is easy to swap to another weapon should explosions not be appropriate, or if fighting an enemy with rF+.
