Backfire needs a better way to maintain stacks

10 seconds without a hit and all the stacks are lost is incredibly frustrating to play. Give it 20 seconds. Have 10 stacks drop off every 5 seconds without a hit. Anything but the current model because it takes 90-120 stacks just to make similar dmg with a comparable build that can swap the hazard/bleed resistance with crit dmg. Playing in a group and trying to get stacks is laughable when everyone else can out DPS you. It could be a really fun build (similar to D1's Classified Striker) but as it stands NO ONE uses it. It's completely useless in DZ PvP because by the time stacks are built you're already dead for the simple fact that any crit build can out DPS it without worrying about building stacks and losing them. When doing CPs or DZ landmarks maybe I'll get lucky where the NPCs spawn and can keep the stacks going but in most cases I lose the stacks and have to start over. Then if I'm able to get 120+ stacks and actually do some net positive dmg most of the NPCs are already dead and I can only annihilate the remaining few. So much potential wasted because of a poorly designed mechanic.

i dismantled my HAZ pro build that i used with the backfire for the very same reason , stacks need to stay on at least 20 seconds to have any leverage against meta smg builds , after those 20 they would decay at a rate of 20 per second maiking it another 30 seconds until you are back to 0.
and if it was up to me i would freeze the stacks between encounters just like the chameleon.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
