Guild Wars 2

Fire’s Embrace When you activate a signet, you gain a fire shield.
Does Fire’s Embrace proc with:

Powerful Auras?
Zephyr’s Boon?
Elemental Shielding?

It works with boon and shielding, brb testing powerful auras.

Yes, yes it works with powerful auras.

What good is a fire shield though?
How effective is it?

That is debatable, considering it only burns (on a %) when you’re hit, I’d use it merely for proccing boon and shielding.

Also might but what good is it with this kind of healthpool.

However, to have all 3 you’d have to go 20-10-10-30-0 and considering you get 3s of aura with 5s fury+swiftness and 3s of protection, I’d say it’s not worth.

Better off having written in stone and ditch powerful auras.

A shame it lies 20 in fire. Would have hoped they at least moved it to adept.

Yeah, I’m currently running a 20/10/30/10/0 build (trying out Written In Stone) with quadruple signets, Carrion amulet, and Geomancy/Agony sigils. It’s a very meh build, especially with the limited condi removal, but the condi damage is decent for an Ele IMO. Protection on demand is cool too. Haven’t tried combining it with Rock Solid yet though.

I wish Fire’s Embrace were Adept too. I could really use the extra 10 in Water or Arcana.

i have been playing a 20/0/30/20/0 build with all signet of fire , earth , air. Settlers trinkets , carrion jewel. S/D condition build. Its kinda fun. I took the fire trait for auras on signet use , and the one that adds 3 sec to fire signet. Earth I took signet mastery , and the protection on aura and written in stone , and in water I took cleansing wave and CD reduction. It does pretty well , fire signet deals 8-9k and you can cover it with bleeds from scepter 1 , also took the doom sigil for poison to cover the conditions. you get almost a full heal from the 2 water skills and healing signet. think you have 13555 hps. its really good 1 v 1. Im not that great with S/D so someone else could probably do alot better with it. I took nightmare runes seems to work ok. Having 5 skills to proc protection off of is nice. I too wish flame aura was adept to pick up the powerful auras , that would really be nice.
