Have a look at these three Elementalist skills and tell me that Burning Speed does not suck.

[skill=big]Windborne Speed[/skill]
[skill=big]Burning Speed[/skill]
[skill=big]Flame Djinn's Haste[/skill]

A skill drastically inferior to other skills! This has never, even happened in Guild Wars!

This is blasphemy! This is madness!

300 FTW!,

But back on topic, i used to solo UW with burning speed and flameburst, when spiritbond wasnt hurt by the nerf-stick. But now it is inferior to other skills, maybe it will get a buff in the next skill balance

When it was a straight 50% speed boost it was worth being on fire, not so much now.

It's not completely useless. Sometimes I use it in 13 HP monk builds to kill myself faster.

Lmao, thank you both for giving me a good laugh.

It's not entirely useless. Put it with a Wammo and they can Leeroy AND cause burning. The burning effect on them would be canceled by Mending though ofc.

Evilsod · Apr 04, 2007, 08:07 PM // 20:07

Hey it could be useful... run Fire/Water (ok i should stop there) with Frigid Armour and PBAoE spells

No... it just sucks. It could be made quite effective with Extend Enchantments... but then again probably not.

Coloneh · Apr 04, 2007, 08:30 PM // 20:30

the onlly way i can think of using it is on a dervish.
run melandru + burning speed + conjure flame + mark + more attack skills and stuff.

not terrible

RIFK.

well its pretty bad, but its variable is speed and duration so you can get a near-dash speed for a fair amount of time, it also has no recharge.

however, its still bad.

Also, while we're here, compare these skills.

[skill=big]Inferno[/skill]
[skill=big]Flame Djinn's Haste[/skill]
[skill=big]Storm Djinn's Haste[/skill]

It needs to be made into a stance if it wants to compete as an IMS.

The need to constantly stop and cast it every 5 seconds ontop of frigid armor means in the long run your not running any faster.

Realm of Fiery Doom · Apr 05, 2007, 09:10 AM // 09:10

And losing a lot of energy too.

BTW, do speed modifying enchantments stack? And is there a maximum speed bonus, or a minimum speed penalty?

Yanman.be · Apr 05, 2007, 09:36 AM // 09:36

Yes, Realm of Fiery Doom, check out the state of the game articles on www.guildwars.com. I think it's 33% for stacked skills. Dash&Burning Speed are single, so they go over that.

well inferno does the most damage. Out of the Djinn's (I did some testing on these when making a GvG flag runner) storm is the faster of the two (less recasts and a shorter cast time) but flame Djin's haste is more energy efficient and does damage but umm why do you what to compare them for PvE? mapping?

Realm of Fiery Doom · Apr 05, 2007, 05:55 PM // 17:55

No, just saying that at 12 Fire Magic, Flame Djinn's Haste does 15 less damage and gives a speed boost of 33% for 17 seconds, and it seems to me (my opinion only) that it is vastly better than Inferno.

Div · Apr 07, 2007, 05:46 AM // 05:46

I think burning speed should get a buff so that it increases people's speed by 50% for 10 seconds ^ ^

Master Dude Guy · Apr 09, 2007, 09:53 PM // 21:53

Anyways, I find Burning Speed useful sometimes. I run myself into a crowd of baddies and set 'em all on fire! I haven't gotten Flame Djinn's Haste yet, but as soon as I do, it's replacing Burning Speed.

Sure, Storm Djinn's Haste is better, bat what if you're a pyro? Huh? What if you're a pyro??

burning speed =useless hmm disagree
here u can implement it:
avatar of melandru+burning speed but that also means to be a dervish
frigid armor +burning speed cahrge in in battle and let mobs burn
bruning speed +plague sending
cant find anything more other than this

samcobra · May 01, 2007, 06:16 PM // 18:16

burning speed is so guuuud!
