Guild Wars 2

I was glad to see balance changes coming! but I think you’re missing out on the burning damage. It should be toned down in my opinion.

Look at those numbers ..

It is either you burn them or they burn you. So much fun when playing with my brain turn off and still winning.

Prepare Inc burn guard qq

Burning is basically the only damage the Guardian has. Nothing unusual about that.

But but only Ele Burning is OP. You must be lying!

It is when it is this high.

cleanse the burn. dodge the burn. kitten is literally telegraphed with a buff on them, then a long cast time. dont run out of purging flames. they shouldnt actually be able to burn you unless you’re bad, or they immobd you into it with judges.

Not going to deny that a monkey could play burn guardian, but a monkey can also outplay a burn guardian. Learn the class, stop the qq.

You’re talking about a perfect scenario.. which rarely happens. As you can see in the picture the Guardian wasn’t the only enemy there as well.

Look at the difference in the damage compared to the other classes/skills

What, are you talking about incoming d/d nerf?

The problem here is that, after the 23rd June patch, burning is everywhere and doing more damage than ever. We don’t know if this is intended by Arenanet or not, but I think almost everyone who PvP on a daily basis agree that this is ridiculous. Heck, even myself started to play Engineer for the first time and I shred people with 0 effort.

Btw, I have a better screenshot taken on my necromancer:

Well hopefully the patch does reformulate burning. In the patch preview they only showed some of the changes they are going to implement. Although the fact they only seemed to nerf ele burn application seems a bit weird. Guards can apply 7 stacks of burning pretty much instantly, and engi has strong burn app as well. Either they have to target burning stacking for all classes that use it or reformulate burn damage.

But unlike ele, guard and engy burning builds are very squishy. You can easily cleanse and kill.

It was just a preview we gotta wait till tuesday to see the full changes, in the preview the fire line in eles was nerfed so we can expect the same for guardians imo.

It’s not only your opinion, only a kitten can’t see burning damage is way way over the top

The issue with guardian burning is how many stacks they can apply in a short time. If the damage was less of a burst, it would be perfectly fine. That could be achieved by reducing the number of stacks and increasing the duration of each stack.
