Burning is very potent and some specs like cele D/D and burn guard can definitely abuse rapid burning application and it’s the application that needs changes.
Burn will get a nerf, think Anet already confirmed this somewhere, but most likely not pre-HoT so just hang in there
Which shows the next problem this game has. Way too slow balancing.
Sorry other games throw minor balancing changes for completely broken stuff out like bi-weekly. Anet requires 6+ months.
A balancing patch every 2 weeks… so rapid iteration on balancing is required for 3 years now, but they just don’t do it.
question what are you running? Why are burns such a problem atm?
Against a burn guardian you just go sigil of purity and generosity with 1-2 condi cleanse. D/D eles i can understand but burn guardians? Trap rangers? Im just wondering why people are screaming blood when there are counters?

There is counter to all Conditions, issue is why 1 Condition is so much more potent then the rest ? Do u really feel Burn is in a good place atm ? No1 is complaining about, Bleeds,Terror,Poison,Chill aso but Burn, think about that for a minute instead. When they made Burn stack in intencity they made a mistake, end of story imho…

About half the time I die, burning is my number one source of damage taken…usually in the 20-40k range, though I’ve seen it over 50k before.
Additionally, standing in a cluster of guardians popping their blocks while burning everything around them is a tad disheartening.
Because you cleanse the burn to quick. You have to wait till it builds up to a medium amount of stacks like 4-6 and then cleanse. And then cleanse again when it gets to about the same number. Noobs blow there cleanses as soon as they see a burn and then get walloped bu 10-15 stacks that come after. There are burning rotations. I am not saying that burns are 100% fine but if they get anything besides a very modest nerf there goes condition guardians again. They will be a joke again. Eles are the real problem with burns.

Burn is just too easy applied in big stacks.
Bleeding and Burning are basically the same mechanic, one just deals more damage.
One would assume that you woud be able to stack more stacks of bleeding. I saw world bosses in PvE having more Burning stacks than Bleeding stacks.
This is wrong on so many levels, yet it happens.
Burning deals more damage per stacks and is easier to stack than bleeding. That needs to be nerfed. And no we should not have bleeding be buffed to burning like levels. A slight buff maybe. But not a second type of burning.
I just don’t think that burns should do 4.5x as much damage per stack as bleeds. Thats just a horrible idea, because it favors classes that have high burn application so much more than those that have high bleed generation, which is why things like condi necro and condi ranger struggle.

the reason why their balance updates takes forever is because its balancing between 3 distinct game modes. simply scaling back burns isn’t like scaling a specific profession, mobs/ai use burns too, so they’d have to scale it for mobs and other items. plus, in the post about upcoming changes, they’re not just looking at scaling down burns or nerfing cele ele, but buffing other mechanics too.

They should really keep PvP/PvE balancing separate. They already did this on GW1. If some skill was overpowered in the PvP gamemode, it would get a fix, a (PvP) prefix and everything was fine. They could keep burning as is for PvE to promote their viability, but at the moment their potency and ease of application is absurd.

But certain professions have too much access to it. Stop trying to nerf burning across the board or you hurt professions that don’t have enough access to it…
Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups.
