Honestly, burning is fine and I highly doubt Anet will nerf it since it will destroy several builds in both PvE and PvP. Any mesmer running inspiration should have enough cleanse to deal with it and enough evades/stealth/invulns to avoid it.

Thank god we’re all playing Mesmer, and have cleanse options on mesmer that don’t have cast times. All those other options be kitten ed!

all classes except thieves and rangers have enough, they just choose not to use it. thieves are a bit better off then rangers, rangers are just screwed. the lack of condi cleansing and pet issues is what caused me to delete mine altogther and never look back on it.

also, keep in mind , game is team vs team, and its not just your condi cleanse that clears your condis, unless of course, everyone in your team makes a personal bad decision and not run any team cleanses, then that is again their bad choice.

i’m perfectly fine with people making such poor choices then dying for them. working as intended. i’m also fine with seeing less rangers in the game in general. they usually thing they are the ones of the “few good ones” but they arent.

in addition, power builds have dominated this game for 3 years across the board with minor upsets here and there, rotating the meta is perfectly legit way to balance the game as a whole, again, i see absolutely nothing wrong with condi becoming the main DPS source for next 3 years, in fact, it would be great, something different to look forward to if they improved it further in PvE.

Look any solution other than lowering the stacks, increasing the cds, or reducing the damage of burning is just silly and short sighted. The goal is not the ruin burning but, to bring it inline with other damaging conditions. The goal is not to make condis useless or, make them op.

If you have an issue like this usually the simple answer is the best. Convoluted ideas that make for more cleansing, bringing other conditions up, or nerfing burns into obscurity are not just dumb but irresponsible. Anet can make their choice. Do some big changes which further moves the meta, ignore the issue for half a year, or do some simple nerfs to bring burning inline but not to kill it.

Anything other than the three things I said in the first line is just bad and, would likely be made by some self serving player who doesn’t actually care about pvp and, balance and, just cares about removing a potential opponents’ builds or, making their own better.
