Guild Wars 2

Hi there,

I was trying out the gauntlet fights yesterday with my guardian. I traited “Inner Fire”, the one where your toon gets fury if he gets burnt.

So I went to add on the “Burning” gambit before my fight. Once inside, I hear my character screaming “it burns!” but I don’t see him getting any fury at all.

The trait is already kinda meh on its own since guardians have to get burnt in order to get fury. Question – Is this burning gambit working as intended, and therefore, I can forget about that “Inner Fire” trait completely (since I don’t use it in either pvp or pve at all)?

What about using a necromancer instead? If I were to cast Well of Power, do I instantly gain aegis (converted from burning), haste (converted from cripple) and what not? How about consume conditions? Do I get to heal more?

Or transferring conditions ability via arcane thievery via Mesmer?

It’s not actually “burning” condition, it’s a special debuff.

Skills don’t work either, Engineers Shield reflect skill does absolutely nothing in there, what is the purpose of having skills if everything is immune to them, why even have these skills…

Never count on your skills actually working beyond the most generic possible situations.

Its rubbish that skills and traits don’t actually work…

Whats the point in having them at all?

However, it could just be a oversight/bug on Anet part. There are that many traits/skills, they are always forgetting about some of them…

Also, a dev said you need to change your build to complete some fights but you do and the traits/skills don’t work.

I doubt it’s an oversight, more like they don’t want you to have the option. If it really applied burning repeatedly you could also do things like transfer it to enemies, boost ‘consume conditions’ a little or convert a bit of fire to aegis every so often.

Consider that this is the same game where defiant and unshakeable by design obsolete many skills, traits and stats when fighting champions/legendaries.
