Guild Wars 2

Yo. We reached 700 stacks and showed a dev. Lol

Pshh, golem at full health. Clearly burning needs a dps boost.

how long did that take to stack up?

Probably 3-4 seconds. You can stack over 50 in about 1 sec.

The question is how many people does “we” constitute?

We achieved this with 2 eles, a guard and 2 revenants.

Haha right? We were seeing over 50k damage per tic lol and the golem died like 6 straight times by the time the stacks wore off. xD

If you’re looking for a nerf then what you have to do is have a mesmer apply 6 stacks of burning solo.

It’ll get nerfed within the hour.

Ik you’re talking about the torment stack, but this sarcasm is not even funny .
Infinite Stun-lock, instant 18k AOE burst, phatasm doing 10k+ damage, permanent stealth, CS abuse, blind goes through dodge with no ICD, none of these got addressed.

Stop talking as if Mesmer is some kind of bullied child, like the current Ranger, when you’re the Top 2 strongest classes (along with Ele) right now. It makes me kinda sick.

that is really op for a group of 5 i’d expect 100 burning stacks max considering Resistance will be Rng in situations where Revs will be running it (though i hope people are not obsessed trying to make everything the Rev does into a Dps role) Aoe resitance should solve the burn stacking issue just 2-4 secs could wreak the stacks as they ware off.

i guess you used time warp ect? to build that up and its a highly co-originated + timed you’d need perfect conditions though would be very easy to do in controlled gvg fights.

seeing that amout of burning in 3 odd seconds is sickening those 580 odd stacks should be somthing 20 people would do not 5.

Proof right here that Anet wants the burst meta lol…

50 burn stacks dropped onto a group of people….. I have trouble not dying in half a second to just 15+ stacks

How much damage per tick? @OP

Me and some guys did this yesterday, by making your target teleporting in and out of fire fields by using rev skill. We manage to reach 123 burn stack on a player, but failed to see the damage as the target keeps on teleporting that you don’t really see the burn damage tick as he instantly drop. Only way to see it is by clicking him and see the burn stack goes up.

I’m starting to see how strong it could be but I wonder how realistic the stacks will truly be in a competitive scene.

Guardians can reach a burn burst of 35 stacks in a group setting but we all know that this can mever happen realistically. That said, say goodbye to Lords and NPC’s.

Realistically speaking, stab+dodge rolling away will nullify this most of the part. And the fact that it is pretty hard to nail this with positioning the rev skill+fire field on a moving target. However, npc that are CCable will be blown to bits instantly. All you need is 2 rev and an ele. Heck, even just a rev and a ele is doable since it’ll just take 2-3 secs more than the latter to set it up, but hey its npc and its pretty dumb to begin with.

On that note, would 3 Purging Flame guardians instead of Eles offer more burn stacks, considering the concecration lasts longer? o.o

The condi stacking limit worked well, removing it was just a huge mistake and the game is suffering because of it. They could have buffed burning without removing the stack-limit.

it needs balancing thats all and Rev is still in beta so this is just a unforeseen combo Devs need to see , it will be fixed that much burning from only 5 people is op no questions about that.

to the Op have you tested this combo without a Rev involoved and no time warp(if you did use it)
under common circumstances how high does the burning go?

All they have to do is add a buff to anyone who’s been teleported through the mist that says “Mist Traveler, cannot be sent through the mist again for 2s” problem solved.
