Guild Wars 2

I’m going to put aside the touchy topic of whether or not Necros should have access to Burns in the first place for now.

I think these two traits should instead of activating on the first crit that happens to land (which is unpredictable for the wielder and unavoidable for the recipient), they should grant an effect, like the leeching effect you get from Sigil of Leeching, that makes your next attack burn.

This would add a lot more depth to the mechanics of these two traits, freeing the wielder from having to rely on the RNG nature of crits to land this important condition, and give the recipient a slight visual cue, and a chance of avoiding the attack (the previous version of the trait is unavoidable because eventually a crit WILL land and burn you no matter how well you play).

On a somewhat related note, am I the only one that thinks 40%+ uptime is a bit much for a condition that hurts as much as burn?

the incendiary powder you see now is the nerfed version of what it once was :P you could keep it 100% up in the past and AoE.

the problem isn’t on engi, they can apply burning but its easy to remove it. but same trait on necro is kinda OP considering most classes lack stability and we love to chain that fear!

giving necro burning on a 10s cd was a horrible idea, and even necros agree on that and it doesnt even fit a necromancer lol

Lets give engi a fear bomb/nade.
Everyone will then be all happy. (^_^)
