Guild Wars 2

I am a little confused here as Signet of Fire already causes Burning when triggered and Cleansing Fire also causes fire for Signet of Fire when you take the traits. Does this mean that Cleansing Fire now causes Burning as a passive effect if you have Signet of Fire as a skill? If not does this mean it causes 2 separate stacks of Burning?

MOAR BURNING BURNINATOR!

I believe its just like any other situation where there are multiple sources of an effect.
it stacks in effect or duration.
burn is duration.

The trait is an active effect with the use of the skill. but its different in that i blieve it effects what you have targetted not everything around it…
so like cleansing fire is an ae burn i think but i dont think the trait is.

Yeah it is a bit confusing to me. As the way it is worded, if you have Signet of Fire slotted and take Burning Fire, then use Signets effect it would create 2 separate burning effects. Or give the burning as a passive.

it triggers only on the activation of the skill of that i am 99 percent certain.

and i am pretty sure that it only effects what you have targetted.

Right but if the signet is triggered it causes burning for 9s . Now does this stack 3 more seconds when you trigger if you take Burning fire or does it add another effect that burns for 3s and for how much?

Profit.

I think you mean Burning Fire for the trait. I’m almost 100 positive that it just adds 3 seconds of burning to all the skills it affects

It adds another 3 second burn
…but since burn stacks duration, all that does is make the burn 3 seconds longer. so your 9 second burn is a 12 second one, and so on.

Burns will not stack effect. All conditions act consistently, for instance bleeds always stack effect instead of duration.

It makes burns more suseptable to removal, but the damage from burn is much higher than an individual bleed, so right off that bat its doing very good damage.

What I get curious about is how it applies the condition stat if the burn is from multiple sources, is it averaged or does it actually each application??
