Therefore if you're not using a fiery bowstring, you're doing physical damage. :-) I just assumed everyone knew what Kindle Arrows did.

And I assumed everyone knew Kindle Arrows didn't work exactly as described. Guess I was wrong.

Why don't you actually try the combo instead of working off of the description?
Guild Wars is great, but it's not perfect.

Look at Virulence-
Are you going to tell me it doesn't induce poison just because the description doesn't say so?

You'll have a tough time 'proving' that to fragility mesmers in the arena and their victims, who've witnessed it first-hand.

And would you like to tell me Crystal Wave ignores Protective Spirit too?

The point is-
Don't tell someone they're wrong unless you've actually tested and verified it. Kindle Arrows produces an unusual effect unlisted in its description. Most flame slingers should be able to tell you that they don't need a fiery bowstring OR Greater Conflagration in order to use Conjure Flame. They just toss up Kindle Arrows, Conjure, and they're good to go, perfect for using the Zealous Bowstring for additional energy management.

Wow man, WHY would Crystal Wave ignore Prot Spirit? If you think it SHOULD ignore prot spirit, you're not reading the description because that DOES work as it should. It only ignores armor and magic resistances, like armor against earth or elemental attacks. Nowhere does it say it ignores other forms of protective spells. Where did that even come from? What's your point? Fine, ill go out and make some tests with Charr and Armor of Frost. We'll see what happens.
