Guild Wars 2

How about the amount of time it takes?

Burn the infidels, make them ash.

I dont really mean in terms of damage, but in how it stacks. I play a guardian and i spec into condition damage, so my burns are for around 600-700 but i havnt maxed out condition gear yet. The problem is with the way burning stacks, as i understand it, if other people apply a weaker burn on the same target, it clogs up the duration with a weak burn? And when i use my Virture of Justice, allies can burn people, but the burn is based on THEIR condition damage? Its MY fire! And if they hit my target, they are WEAKENING my damage , its counter productive! I see my blue flames wash away into regular flames..

Same goes for combo fields, if i throw down a fire field, and they shoot through it, its THEIR burn damage, not mine? ITS MY FIRE! I spec into fire to help spread it, and share it with my allies and ESPECIALLY with my enemies, but fire doesnt stack that way.

Ideally, the strongest burn on the target stays, any further burns added only increase the duration of the strongest burn.

I’d like other peoples opinions on the damage itself though, as far as scaling goes burn only does 2-3x more damage than someone with 0 condition damage, i was thinking fire should scale differently than confusion or bleed, and instead of just +x dmg for x condition, it scales up the higher it goes so your rewarded for focusing entirely on condition. Or since that might be OP for some builds, make it a guardian trait since Burn is the only condition they can realistically apply that deals damage, while engy/necro/warrior/ranger/ele can sufficiently apply bleed/burn and often confuse/poison too.

Some kind of Polearm, and Crossbow but im not sure who would use it, thief already has bow/pistols, warrior has rifle/bow, engineer has rifle/pistol, maybe guardian could use it. Could be a large 2h crossbow or 1 handed glove type crossbow. Other than that, yeah Javalins, those were cool in #1 and they fit into the Guardian style.

Dont think we need lots of Exotic weapons in this game…
