Guild Wars 2

Ok, so my understanding is that Burning differs from, say, Bleeding, in that adding burning to an already ignited target will simply increase the duration of the DoT rather than add damage to it. If multiple burns are applied from different characters, how is the damage determined? Will the burn use the highest of the source’s +condition damage? The CD of the most recently applied burn?

To my understanding, burning stacks in duration, but uses the highest damage burn first, no matter what. So you burn a target for 2 seconds, then 1.5 seconds later someone with +400 condition damage burns them for 1 second, the new, higher damage burn starts ticking down immediately, and the remaining 0.5 seconds of your burn won’t do anything until the new 1 second burn expires.

I don’t have a source for it, but that’s what I recall hearing.

Same as poison, prolongs the duration.
