Guild Wars 2

Is this trait bugged or am I doing something wrong?

I’m new at engi in PvP and looked up thise celestial rifle engi build and everything seemed to work alright until today.

I went into pvp with a friend but soon realized my crits weren’t burning at all anymore.
I didn’t change anything about my build, neither i could find anything that would prevent my target from being burned.

Anyone else knows if this is a bug or if its something i’m missing about this trait?

No, it’s not bugged to my knowledge.

Just the basics, please don’t be offended:

• Make sure trait is equipped properly. PvP Traits =/= PvE traits, you have to re-select them upon entering the mists.

• Make sure the burn wasn’t on wasted on random fodder enemies without your realizing.

Yeah I know this. I did have it equipped & I’ve tested it against a friend 1v1 and I don’t seem to get the burning.

My friend is an ele & thought maybe she was using the diamond skin trait but apparently she wasn’t, also, all the other conditions seem to apply properly.

Edit: Just putting it here.
It worked just fine 2 days ago. Now no burning at all.

maybe u got the precursor rng of not critting, never ever

stay away from the mystic forge !

Haha xD
That’s not the case tho. I actually checked the combat log to see if they’re crits or not.
I’m also using Sigil of Intelligence so the first 1 hits are crits. No burns at all though.

Edit:
We’ve done more testing. It works perfectly against the golems & npc’s in the heart of the mists. It works fine against other players & eles as well.

I must be missing something… Is there some rune or trait that can make ele immune to burning & burning alone?

Could be
Diamond Skin (immune to all condis when above 90% health)
or
Stone Heart (immune to crits when attuned to earth)

Sorry for late reply.

And no we’ve checked & my friend is not using any of these traits. Neither is she using any rune or sigil that would prevent her from being burned.

I can burn her with other classes & I can also burn her with any other type of burn like flamethrower burn.

I’ve also been able to burn other elementalists no problem who also use D/D and probably have very similar builds.

Either I’m missing something very simple or there is a weird kind of bug going on here.
