Guild Wars 2

Any chance this will be changed from Duration Stacking in the future?

I really don’t need 30 seconds of burn on a 10 second fight. It’s not terrible for bosses, but it would be nice to be able to stack burn damage rather than a longer duration.

Well I agree that it’d be nice since duration stacking isn’t exactly fun/exciting lol. However if it were the case then it wouldn’t be any different than bleeding damage. Even poison is different since it has the %50 healing reduction. Burning is just meant to an extra “oomph” to attacks over time, whereas if you are playing earth attunement or something then you actually focus on stacking bleeding and not entirely on the attacks themselves.

It’s a trade off since burn starts out so high and you have to stack bleed to start to do noticeable damage.
