So I will make few comments:
there is a lot of % for increase in condition dmg, dmg in both cases you receive and you deal, there is healing based burning dmg you deal, there is crit increase in case of you being under burning and in case when enemy is under burning or for increase duration of burning or its dmg.

With so many % building can be a bit tiring, so its a bit negative, but I tried to make all of them somehow work.

So I will try to analyze what I wrote here:
I made Burning Fire a little double edge. Precisely that trait makes Cleansing Fire apply self burning. For sake of granting retalitation and to make others trait to synergy on that double edge a bit.

Burning Precision now is about longer burn +0,5s basicaly from that trait, but its have only 25% chance on crit to appear. The purpose was to increase burn from that trait, so I shaved 5% from burning duration increase. I can sense some contrary in decreasing chances to appear burn of crit, but I somehow think its ok here in that way. Added 5% crit hit increase against burning foes and next 5% when you under burn.

Burning Fiend its a trait for condi bomb, have high chance to burn proc on crit, but long cd. 3stack of burning, but for very short duration. Further more that trait have 7,5% burn dmg increase. I think those two traits compete. No. Rather I created for sake of choose between two direction; long condi or short high. I don’t know if I did it correctly.

Sunspot have only fire aura grant in combat and I allowed self to change that aura too.
Burning bolt on intial to next attack and very short might pulsar. At 4th second its a peak when its reach 4might stacks.

Power Overhelming why I added that cripple at last thick of fire fields to trait that increase condi dmg based on power? Seriously I can’t give you any reason why it will help damaging condies other that covering them with so short cripple, but I would suggest it again and again.

Lava’s Flooding gain quickness when you burn its somehow thematicaly suits there. I link burning with speed since gw1 when you set you burn to move faster-was it burning speed or something. Quickenss is speed increase, but in casting not in movement. Even so its suits me better there that swiftness and superspeed.

One with Fire oh its all about burning, but in every face it could be: more dmg vs burning foes, less condi dmg from burn you would receive and heal for based on your burn do to enemies.

Magma’s Link why fire aura on magnetic not other side or both? thematicaly somehow I went that way: magma is inside, so under earth and when its come out its called lava. So firstly earth and then earthlings can enjoy fire. I could be all in other way like with egg and chicken, but don’t extend that plot. Last thick of fire aura give aoe blind at location, 8s cd is especialy for fact that now auras last kitten you actualy would need to take attention to not waste of you blind from that source. Secondly While magnetic aura ends its pulse weakness – why not blind also? its not about hit earth and its weakness you cuz its though and its not about fire will blind you even if themticaly suits. Its becouse of magnetic aura mechanic. Its reflect projectiles so enemies already close distance at you and you was getting hits, so blind that cover one hit when its end is just too small to justify that easy counter. That is why there I put weakness.

Pyromancer’s Puissance give short duration 2might stacks. In setup 2might stacks for 3s every 2s its make while in fire 2s of 2stacks from that source and on third second 4 might stack. So constant is 2stacks and peak in 3th s. is 4stacks. Additionaly I added 1st attack while attuned to fire apply 4s of posion on very long cd 40s. Its additional pressure and its here, becouse of few reasons: dealing dmg have its major counter which is healing that enemy do and its trait that give esspecialy not signifact, but rise of power. Secondly might grants also condi dmg, so posion get synergy from that. Most of all its next dmg dealing condition that somehow would suit there. Puissance word is so close to toxicity. Somehow I link fire and posion and somehow that name Pyromancer’s Puissance is in perfect place. Confusion and torment didn’t suit there. And even if it can’t compete with sigil of doom I something I decided to suggest.

Which existing builds are you trying to compliment with those changes?

You do know that Burning Fiend’s 3 stack of burning for 0.25 seconds is the equivalent of 1 stack for 1 seconds, right?

What are you tryin got achieve with 1.5 seconds of quickness on elementalist due to a random proc every 25 seconds?

major grandmaster tier: Magma’s Link
Grant Fire Aura when you gain Magnetic Aura.
Apply blind at location to foes at last thick of Fire Aura. 8s cd.
Apply weakness at location to foes at end of Magnetic Aura. 16s cd.

^You have removed the might gains from One with Fire; what’s the point of wanting Fire Aura?

Your traits are too focused on a burning “mini-game”. Elementalists don’t have time to do this in combat.

Its to complicated ….

To help fire some simple changes will do it.

1.) Lower the ICD of burning precision to 3 sec
2.) Add -20% CD on conures to conjurer.
3.) Make one with fire +100% fire aura duration (sounds much but is only 1,45 sec duration boost on the weakest aura compared pre patch).
4.) Add +20% burn duration to power overhelming.
5.) drop blinding ashes ICD to 6s. (is more then the past 5sec and might sound hard, but with alls the power creep its not OP. Wit hthe current 8sec it´s not used much anymore and mostly dead.)

Yes those adds to solving problem definitely. And many other suggestions were put in forum already.

@Alekt Yes its was intended to be burning mini game kitten correctly pointed:) Ofc I focused to much, maybe other build that I will post will be more balanced and with more diversity.

About Burning Fiend Yes numbers are totaly off. Maybe even its never should proc on crit. Anyway to intention was it to compete with Burning Precision in someway, but mostly it doesn’t look like it would really.

About fire aura from new source Yes I removed One with Fire that granted add might. And I tried to rework Fire Aura into adding burning bolt on intial to next attack and pulse 1might per second. Its makes only 4might max at peak at 4s. But maybe 100% duration increase for fire aura would be more reasonable to add. Still that fire aura rework idea is lacking something. And precisely about gaining Fire Aura on Magnetic Aura if its somehow would work its at least new source of aura, new way, but that way isn’t interesting.

Thanks for commenting. I will post more ideas for firetraits of firetraitline as whole, but next one will be more general. Power of suggestions should always flow.

minors:
- flat power in fire,
- deal more dmg in fire,
- deal more dmg against burning foes.

majors;
adept;
- burning chance on crit hit,
- burning at location when using signets, or when using set of fire thematical utilities: cleansing fire, signet of fire, fire lesser and fire elementals, fire storm, conjure flame axe, conjure fiery greatsword,
- proc cleansing fire when 3 condi add retal to allies,

master;
- condi increase based on power,
- signet of fire grants aegis,
- 33% reduce cd on fire weapon skills, fire auras last 100% longer, gain quickenss attuning to fire,

grandmaster;
- blasting fire fields grant fury and additional might stack, fire fields last 2 flat second longer, create lava font on downed
- blasting fire fields grant fire aura, whenever gain fire aura remove condition,
- bliding at location when use healing skills, fire elementals and lessers one’s press to use skills blind, blind at location when run out of all endurance.

I feel this could give us some new varieties. They are just ideas that I think would make sense, though note that I don’t pvp.

Renewed Flames (Master/replacing One With Fire)
-Recharge Fire Attunement when inflicting Burning on foes.
-When inflicting burning, increase the duration of burning stacks by 0.25 seconds.

Frostbite (GM/replacing Blinding Ashes)
-Chilling a foe also inflict 2 stacks of Burning for 3 seconds. [ICD 3s]

Since air can already be reset, wouldn’t it be fair to have fire reset as it is also a damaging element? Being locked out of fire for 10 seconds(or 20 with overload <_<) when focusing on fire(d/x condi or camping fire with staff) sucks. This could bring up condition builds for pve and maybe hybrid fire/water/tempest for pvp or whatever possibility there would be.

Of course this is assuming there’s no major rework of the whole profession.
