Says 9 stacks of fire?
Can we get bug fix or new description?
It clearly gives 1 stack per tick.
which is 9 stacks over 8 seconds standing in there.

Condi Ranger is such a joke right now the only way to capitalize with bonfire is to use axe offhand for the burn whirl finisher, but it’s still bad axe offhand isnt optimal for condi.

Condi Warriors hits you just once in melee and they inflict stacks and stacks of torment, confusion bleed criple and so on, so easy.

The flame trap is just the same it has low cooldown but its useless during its total duration it gives 3 stack of 2.5 sec burning pretty harmless

The best use for bonfire I found at the moment is for might stacking on a power ranger.
You fire 1 arrow while out of combat, switch to sword/torch before projectile connects drop a bonfire, once projectile has hit switch pet for blast finisher and ideally switch to juvenile jungle stalker.
With this combo I’m at 2615 power and 74% crit chance.

1 stack pluse each second, duration 3s. So max you will have 3 stack after 3s. Last 8s you get total 9 stack. Remeber the duration per stack is only 3s.

Basically elementalist with celestial will do more more burning damage than a rabbid ranger and more easily.
Ranger is like hey bru would you like to step on my 180 radius fire field for 8 sec please please?
Ele just spam 1-2-3-4-5 and win
Nice balance Anet

Not only that but Whirling Defense has been nerfed or its bugged with a lower radius than before the patch.

Then this is not 9 stacks, it’s 1 stack per 1 sec interval! This is just a simple mask so people think WOW this skill is good.

Bonfire should give instant 4 stacks of fire and 1 stack per tick.
