Guild Wars 2

i have the fiery dragon sword skin and noticed it turns your weapon damage to fire damage. i was wondering what does fire damage actually do? is it good to have? are any enemies weak/strong vs it? you know that kind of stuff, i know some enemies are invulnerable to burning damage but thats different from fire damage. if some1 could answer my questions it would be much appreciated

Damage types have absolutely no effect in this game at all. All damage is damage. The type of damage simply adds a visual effect. When a weapon deals fire damage, it will occasionally light an enemy on fire when the enemy dies.

Yes a few are immune to burning damage.

Some of the Elementalist’s skills do burn, Guardians also have a skill that inflicts burning damage, Warrior’s Longbow has a skill that deals burning damage, I suppose more character types do too but those are all I can remember without checking.

The only difference I have seen between things like fire and ice damage is that ice can slow down mobs (crowd control), burning is damage over time (conditional damage). That is the only difference I can think of, that secondary effects matter but whether it is ice, fire or whatever for the primary damage thing it makes no difference at all.

No.
Ice damage does not slow enemies down. That’s Chill.
Fire damage does not inflict damage over time. That’s Burning.

The Fiery Dragon Sword deals regular old damage, and lights stuff on fire when it kills them.
