Guild Wars 2

title says it all pretty much

How has burn not been toned down since the june 23rd patch? Is ArenaNet just focusing all attention to HOT right now? I don’t think I’m being unreasonable in thinking that 1 second of burn application leads stacks doing 2-3k per tick. All my builds focus on condi management, but regardless, burn seems to just be on another level when compared to the other conditions.

Any plans by ArenaNet to tone it down a bit?

They have given no indication I am aware of that they are dissatisfied with the current situation.

Right after the patch there was a Dev post stating conditions seem too strong. Since bleeding was actually nerfed, and not looking at zerg DoT stacks, burning is the likely culprit.

I doubt we’ll see any significant balance patches until HoT

I don’t think they want to look at that right now, with so much work balancing the new specs.

It’s a delicate problem. They don’t want to split PvE and PvP. In the first time in 3 years, conditions finally have reached some form of competitive status in PvE, so if they nerf burning across the board, it might ruin that, and a lot of people are going to be annoyed. If they just lower the damage in PvP, it’ll ‘split’ the game modes, which they don’t want to do.
