Guild Wars 2

Hey guys.

So how’s everyone enjoying the new balance patch?

Just seeing if anyone is still finding burn insane?

I will admit, It’s somewhat manageable on Ele’s now, although they still have insane mobility and sustain, keeping them just as dangerous. At least I don’t insta die to them quite as much.

I hate to bring it up….but Ele’s aren’t the only ones with “Burn”….and really, “Burn” is the problem. I’m still running into Engi’s (To a lesser extent) and Guards (To a greater) who are applying so many stacks of burn so fast that I can’t get my 1 second cast of “Hide in Shadows” off to cleanse them. The fight start, I see the burns come out, instantly hit my heal to not only cleanse the condi’s but stealth for initiation, and am downed before that 1 second cast can finish.

Now…..I’ve already said in the past that “Hide in Shadows” should be a .5 second cast….but that’s really beside the point. Burn is the new burst meta on certain classes, more so than zerkers lol.

Any plans to address this in the big expansion patch?

Burn stacking is broken, and has been for 3 months. Unfortunately, it is part of ANETs new condi aoe spam fight ideal.
