BWR - Changelog 30/04/23

Force-A-Nature
+ Gain 20% accuracy bonus against targets you knockback
Attempting to make followup hits more likely to connect when knocking people around.

Compression Blast (excluding phlog)
+ Airblast provides knockback to self while airborne
~ Self knockback similarly diminishes based on pressure
This experimental change is meant to provide pyro a little extra base movement as compensation for diminishing returns from pushing players, and tacking some pressure off of unlocks to have movement.

Backburner
+ Reduced afterburn cost penalty to +100%
A minor buff to make up for the increased utility of airblast.

Manmelter
+ Mini-crits burning targets and extinguishes them, rewarding a guaranteed crit
+ Decreased afterburn penalty to -40%
- Added -15% damage penalty
- No longer cleans jarate, gas, or milk from teammates
- Reduced healing on extinguish to 20
- No longer heals teammates on extinguish
Rather than making the manmelter more reliant on teammates, this change intends to expand on its usage by the pyro to be able to combo off of his own flares. Damage and afterburn are lowered to compensate for this expanded usage.

Third Degree
+ Damage linked with all enemies within 256 Hu of target
+ Increased health gained on hit to 30 HP
+ Can gain overheal with health gained
+ Removed healing peanlty from packs
- Increased damage penalty to -33%
- Increased health penalty from healers to -75%
- Added 25% slower firing speed
- Removed healing penalty to targets on hit
- Removed health regerneation to self on hit
Rather than being focused on targets linked by healing, this version extends it to any enemy group within close proximity to provide the pyro with a substantial buff to help in his survival when numbers aren't on his side.
