Guild Wars 2

I was wondering if the flame condition from Flame Jet (flamethrower auto) overrides the incendiary powder trait. I ask because the Flame Jet’s auto does a measily 600 condition damage whereas Incendiary Powder does up to 4.5k the way I’m currently traited. However I don’t ever seem to see this 4.5k damage when I’m spamming the auto attack, only when I swap to my rifle and get a crit hit in causing the trait to trigger. Is this supposed to happen?

the condition your referring to is “burning” damage. The burning applied from FT skills stack in duration with the "burning’ condition damage from incendiary powder, as well “incendiary ammo” the toolbelt FT skill that adds burning to your next 3 attacks stacks into it. The damage from flame jet (FT #1) that you see is actually direct damage.

OK thanks

Since burning stacks duration and not intensity, all burning no mater the skill source will deal the same amount of damage over a fixed amount of time. If you’re going off your skilltips, the damage from IP is more because it lasts longer than the burning from FT’s autoattack. If IP procs during your autoattack, it’ll simply tack on to the end of the current burning. The real strength of IP with FT is that it keeps a more consistent burn rolling on your target so that the autoattack deals 10% more damage.
