Guild Wars 2

When using sun spirit to give the chance to inflict burning to allies, does the burning inflicted work off of your condition damage or your allies?

You and your Pet use your own condition damage.

Other affected allies take the coefficient from themselves.
I confirmed this only a few months ago, myself.

I’m almost sure it is based on ranger’s condition.

With very few exceptions, everyone does their own stuff. If you apply it, it’s yours. (i.e, if you splash someone elses waterfield, it’s your HP that heals you.)

The pet, that is what I was mixing the stuff up.
I think I tested with my pet and assume it would count as a regular ally.

So even though the pet has a condi score, it still works off of yours, but all other allies use theirs? Weird but if that’s how it works…

Thanks for the info!

Pets use their own condition dmg for the burning from sun spirit.

So the burn damage is based upon the condition stats of the player who procs it? ’Cause that is what my (somewhat outdated) testing confirmed.

@Umbra, is that what Tragic meant? I guess I got mixed up.

Of the target that procs it.
Pets use their own condition formula, ranger uses his own, so do the other allies.

I apologize if it wasn’t clear from my 1st post.
(Now that I think of it, I’m not sure if mesmer illusions can benefit from Sun Spirit buff, and if they do, whose condition damage do they scale from. I hope no one will really be interested in finding out)

That would be kinda awesome actually… Each of your clones/phantasms is now doing a stack of burning in addition to whatever they normally do? And mesmer condi is awesome already? If that works, it would be awesome!

And I apologize for my overuse of the word “awesome”. hangs head in shame

I once had a bunker build. Actually an excellent one, back when Rune of the Pirate was the thing.
3 people came, I clicked a button, and 2 hyenas, a parrot and me stacked 16 stacks of burning in a blink of an eye, I saw 10K tick and got 2 people to stomp.

Of course it doesn’t work anymore, but you can imagine the party I had in my room.
You won’t get more than 5 targets with the buff, it’s limited, but if you have clones / minions and not enough people around – you can boost the amount of burning from the spirit just as if there was enough people around.

Nice! I don’t pvp so that wouldn’t be an issue but that could be a useful thing on those dungeon fractal runs when someone bails mid-run and you’re down a man.

Sun spirit is the best Party DPS boosting utility in the game a Ranger has access to, right after Frost Spirit.

You should use it regardless.
