I just had this crazy idea (sry if it has already been discussed) for a new Grandmaster Fire Trait…

Reasons:
- Lack of good fire traits (I know this is not a full offensive trait as we could expect from fire, but looks solid)
- Lack of defense if traited for offensive play
- Lack of sense for fire aura (obtainable with focus / D/X combo / Conjured axe)
- Lack of build diversity and different playstyles/mechanics

Consequences:
- Speccing 30 fire will open a new mechanic that could give sense to fire aura, burning on crit, burning proc runes, Glyph of elemental power and so on, exclusive to the elementalist
- A new defensive tool outside of water and arcana
- Something that is useful in every environment: PvP – PVE – WvW (from duels to zerg)
- Something that is not just a passive buff (like diamond skin) but scales with player skills and requires timing on some spells (like staff fire 3)
- Useful in every weapon set, not buffing a single one

We are elementalists, our fire trait line should give our burning something strong not only for condition ele

Obviously, it needs an internal cooldown like 3 or 5 seconds each target (similar to glyph of elemental power), so spamming scepter fire auto attack will not be op.

You could add that to pyromancer’s puissance since the might stacking requires you to be in fire attunement anyway.
