Guild Wars 2

I see alot of people asking for the burning fire trait to give less might on proc and I feel like people don’t realize this would be nerfing zerk ele even further into the dirt, while hardly touching the cele build they hate.

1: Cele ele repeats a might blasting rotation multiple times in a fight, maxing out might with burning fire procs. This means that most times they get a burning fire proc it gives them 0 additional might.

3: Cele fights are longer. Averaged out over a long fight burning fire is less than 1 stack of might per cantrip if every cantrip is used on cooldown. On the other hand Zerk fights are short and often open with flash/cleansing fire, meaning zerk ele benefits far more from burning fire.

2: Generally, cele ele uses cantrips defensively while zerk ele uses cantrips offensively. Obviously the zerk ele is going to get more out of the might.

3: Cele brings a huge load of condition removal while zerk is usually hard pressed to fit cleanses into the build. Burning fire is again more worth far more to the zerk ele.

A nerf to burning fire would be the exact opposite of what we need. I’m tired of every other ele build getting trashed by poorly thought out attempts to nerf the cele build. Hit burning and also hit the application rates on drake’s breath/ring of fire. Hit the healing power ratios across the board. Just for gods sake stop nerfing the wrong things.
