Guild Wars 2

Are there any plans right now to turn down the damage on burning? 131 ish damage a stack is a bit high for not having any condition damage gear on. and at 5 stacks for 5 seconds that is 3257 damage.

Having Cele at 560 condi damage give you 218, with still hits hard. 5 stacks for 5 seconds is 5,450.

Full condi at 1,200 is 317. and at 5sec 5 stacks, thats 7,937 damage.

I know that does not sound like a lot of damage, but most builds that use burning can apply it faster then you can take it off.

I dont know a good number, or place to start. but only what we have. It just seems high for what it can do.

(plz dont hate me, I play thief, ele, guard, and sometimes ranger, i can see on 3 of them that fire kills really fast, with and with out condi gear.)

Interesting fact before the patch 1 stack of burning did 350+ dmg/. tick I had my condi mesmer doing burning: 1 stack of over 1100 dmg/ tick… easily…

And you do not have a clue what full condi is.
My warrior is at 2900 condition dmg when fully buffed.
My mesmer has a base condition dmg of 2100…
My burning ranger starts at 1500 and gets 900 added (25 might with axe and 150 from torch… for 2400 condition dmg….
and so on.
My burning guard will do 1800 condition dmg with +20% druation and +20% added dmg from burning.

Problem is not the scaling of the dmg but the people who eat the dmg. condition cleanses whirls or projectiles in light fields , minus condition duration food, or cleaning runes or reduction runes will go a long way to mitigate dmg.

Guardian has ONLY burning… cleaning it is just having 1 or 2 condition sklills and a fast hand
Ranger roughly the same though I tend to IMMO people on the spot before spiking.
Mesmer is a pain but burning lasts only 2 seconds , maybe 3….
Warrior can stack decent burning if poeple ignore the fire aura.

quoted because I agree. Fire dmg is not balanced atm.

I like burn guards that instantly apply 16 stacks or necros with dhuumfire hitting me for 6k.

Dead before you even realize they are on you.
