Guild Wars 2

Just did some testing here, and it appears that the 33% increase in fire auras isn’t currently being applied to “Feel the Burn” and “Overload Fire”… it does, however, apply to focus’s fire shield.

I’d imagine this is not intended?

Any one have any thoughts/experiencing the same thing?

It’s useless! Core ele skills mostly sad bunny compared to pre HOT. Super gutted.

Don’t know why anyone would take it over reduced fire CDs and 10% damage boost. A build would have go all out auras to make any use out of it, and the use wouldn’t be meaningful enough, if it was working properly.

Doesn’t matter what would someone chose. If it doesn’t work, it should be fixed.

Haven’t tested it myself. Played with an aura build and the tooltips for auras didn’t change much, with runes and such, even though I did notice an increase in duration of auras.

This is off topic. I’m simply asking if this is a bug or if I’m just missing something here. Anyone else willing to glance over it and see?

I use One With Fire. You can get about 7 Might stacks with D/D (8 stacks with D/F) from: Feel the Burn, Flash Freeze, Sunspot trait, Flame Shield if taking Focus, Frost Aura if taking Dagger, Shocking Aura. That’s 7-8 Might stacks.

Then you have overloads which grant Might, with Fire OL granting 2 Might.

So on average you will be getting like 6-8 Might stacks per full aura proc which is 180 – 240 Power and Condition Damage.

10% damage boost on Fire attunement with around 2200 power is 222 Power. With One With Aura you can hit above that at 240 Power (+ condi damage). Additionally, Might affects all four attunements.

Plus the Fire CD reduction isn’t really necessary either, there isn’t anything too worthwhile that needs a CD reduction anyway. Burning Speed recharges on its own by the time Fire attunement has refreshed.

As for OP I’ll check the trait out for myself and come back and edit this post.
