Rank 38 NA, Solo Queue Only Burn Guardian
build pls just to be sure
i loved the burn guard but got too bored with it. also an ele can ruin your day and make you ineffective in team fight till your team focus them. so mainly as 1v1 on close or far.
Solo que? So you trynna tell us that you can carry with this build? Sounds too good to be true. Smells fishy but if it’s true then it might be worth a shot. But before I get into it, what is your medium framerate and ping while you do ranked, OP?
P.S.
It is unreal for just one reason that I do not find burn guard to be a real threat. If unchecked I will get burned, but cleansing the first batch of burn is enough to deal with them, at least from my experience.

Rank 38 out of 150 total isn’t saying much

150 total? What do you mean?
There are more than 250 at the absolute minimum? Probably around 1,000 US players in pvp that are fairly active.

I don’t have a mic, and I dont like to duo queue because i dont play nice with others. I did one pug tourney and that was enough for me when it comes to teams.
I only solo queue. Since season 1. Always been legendary, usually play necro, which i have 5k games with.
FPS is at minimum 30 in PVP, average of about 50 ping.

Last season I hit rank 13 soloQ as burn guardian, whether that be matchmaking luck, take it as you will.
Deranked off the leaderboard after playing all night but slowly got back up.
Rank: Top 250 since Season 2

Ah 50 ping... I do not need to know anything more. Good for you, cherish the fact of relatively good framerate and ping ; - ;
Burn guard is one of the most dangerous builds in solo Q. I have to concentrate not to go down in flames … But if i am careful (using soldier rune on ele) the burn guard is totally lost.

This is so true. Lots of people forget the fact that meta builds are meta because they do well in a 5v5 preconstructed format. When you solo queue, you need a build that can carry more than anything, and sometimes it’s a build that isn’t meta. The sheep will deny it’s viability but anyone worth their salt will know to look out for it.
Just wanted to add that there’s a few players in EU who are top 100 on the burn build. I know because last season a burn guard messaged me saying he was top 25 EU.
I swap to burn guard when I see these comps
- Ele/nec/Engi/ranger/Mes/Rev (or any combination of these classes)
I don’t swap when I see
- DH/Thief/Ele (A combination of these classes in unison)
I have beaten Naru and Amon duo on soloQ burn guard in s6 once before. Those two classes are not a 100% counter to burn guard but I will say you have to play darn good to stand your ground against any Good +1 power thief.

Nail on the head right here.
If i’m in solo queue, I have to hard carry. I gotta be the best damage out there. Right now, burn guardian fits that slot. It’s absolutely sickening how much damage it puts out in team fights, as well as complete rez denial.
I always dismissed this build because on my Necro/Engi/Ranger I can easily handle the burns. But I got bored and decided to try it out over the Symbolic build I normally play, and I was suprised to see how effective it was. Gonna stick with it for awhile, make people come to the forums and talk about how OP conditions are.
But how do you do so much damage? I can hardly go over 300k….
Please explain how to maximize damage…
