people can take the cleansing fire if they wish, honestly you would be missing out on the cleanse just for a little more burn. between flame dash, wall, dragon, aura and overload theres more then enough fire and might stacks as is for the leap in leap out especially with a quick CD. but thats the nice part of the game a build is only going to be as good as a person is comfortable with the play style. just because my perticular build works very well for my play and rotation doesnt mean someone can maximize the same build rotation. they may feel more comfortable with other skills and thats whats nice about choice.
my view and why i didnt take flaming cleanse.
1) i have DS and enough condi clear as is.
2) this is a support/aura build
3) just with leap in leap out you should be able to land 15-20 flame stacks in less then 3secs. (reason i say this is depending on numbers your going to have about 3 seconds to dump before you lose proc/stab which if happes you need to pop invul and get out.
i usually go in after air overload, run up in fire. drop over load swap earth proc/stab up and get out. from there to water to heal front line going in past me for the candy kills and continue the aura boon heal support till rotation is back up which will be about 5 secs.. over all you should be able to repeat leaps in and out every about 8-10’s with out taking lethal damage. biggest out numbered WvW fight ive been in and held was 8tc v25mag
This is the build i run, DS is quiet good if you know how to properly play. this build it does quiet well keeping team up. i can flash into middle of enemy zerg and condi bomb and flash out without taking any lethal damage. it provides great support with boons and auras on the front line. i’ve lived through many of out numbered fights with this build.
the earth trait converts toughness to condi, undead runes toughness to condi and then obviously your foods and oils will play a condi % too. sigil of purity for condi you get under 75% before heal up. and then sigil of moment for added toughness on kills to add to condi damage as well, its a very fun support pressure build.

EDIT, i also what to state, theres sigil of purity in this build for 60% chance cleanse condi on hit, that is only a back up if you fall under 75% health to midigate condi damage to support faster heal up so condis can no longer effect you.

Gonna revive this for S’s&G’s I’ve got something about like what your talking about. before combat stacks sigils or food im rocking. 24,500ish hp 2400power 4100 toughness and roughly 40% crit.
with full battle going. stacks food sigils i have over 2500power and around 5k armor.
i do run banner regen with banners for zerg runs having cleanse on hit and weapon swap is nice as well. Its a trade off of you hitting people like a wet noodle and people hitting you with their berserk like a wet noodle lol while the trade off is not putting out optimal damage you are providing precision/fury up time to party members, im playing Large norn so im just a big ol’ wet damage sponge. and trust me mitigating damage from the other players and playing false driver does come in quiet nice.
my weapon choices very depending on tier and group needs some times i run mace shield/ sword WH, other times ill run mace shield with Hammer. the idea of the build can be quiet fun in a WvW zerging environment but its not going to be optimal GvG unless it specifically fills a role your drivers are looking for.. creative play is nice and you got to play what your comfortable with. metas not always the issue. lord knows ive downed quiet a few meta spvp classes with non-meta builds. play with your classes and traits and combos find what feels good for you. most importantly have fun.
