random lol[edit]

hmmm, funny history..."combines well with other condition causing preparations, such as Apply Poison" yeah its not actually one, but funny though...even if you consider that burning combined with poison is normally waste of one degen due to the -10 cap. Or the other notes "Bug: only uses 6 energy. congrats, dude. Suppose you are a Ranger and skilled some points in your primary attribute. :D Or just this edit that's also mentioned on top of this talk page :P —ZerphatalkThe Improver 20:36, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

OMG ITS A BUG THAT IT ONLY COST 6 ENERGY WHEN I HAVE HIGH EXPERTISE --Cursed Angel talk 20:41, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm assuming thats...sarcasm? User-Wandering Traveler Sig.png Wandering Traveler 15:54, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Everything CA says is sarcasm. :P
Anyway, Apply Poison is a really good combo with this, even with the cap; they can only have -10 at a time, but the full -11 is still there. Someone casts, say, Mending for a +1 regeneration, and they still have -10 now (because of that "hidden" 11th pip of degeneration). --User Jioruji Derako logo.png Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 20:09, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

YES BUFF[edit]

and i saw it forzt NalanaUser Nalana Darkling Blue Eye2.jpgTalk 23:10, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Perma burning on a single target for decent energy cost? I liked this skill before, but this is epic w00tsauce now. :D --User Wandering Traveler Oie User Wandering Traveler Sig2.png Wandering Traveler 00:49, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
lol, u can even maintain burning without an IAS now, uber 1337. Never going to leave my barCrimmastermind 01:12, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
as if we really need any more wiki retards with apply poison/burning arrow. thanks anet... you win again. 12.28.133.6 01:45, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Agreed, the Burning Arrow buff should be reverted or its energy increased to 15. I'm tired of people winning with builds that require absolutely no skill to use. Anet does this to make people buy Nightfall.

Due to the massive amount of overpowered skills in the meta, it seams Anet has decided to buff skills that don't need buffs instead of fix the overpowered skills. Why ? Who the hell knows. Not me. Master Ketsu 02:52, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Because Anet loves power creep.
Because the rest of the playerbase (remember each person who buys the game is worth the same as Anet since they don't make any more money from account activity) got tired of Anet nerfing skills any time the GvG-playing minority called in the Waaambulance? Cynical 20:10, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
This skill is still a joke. <>208.117.81.49 04:31, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Note that it also buffs the Charr Seekers who use this skill too. Fighting in those areas is puts a lot more pressure on condition removal if you go run into those 4-5 strong mobs of Seekers that run BA, especiall in Rragar's Menagerie --BeeD 08:41, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Good point about the charr, although most people get runs through everything nowadays, so making pve a little more challenging doesnt hurt. I woulnd't be complaining about the buff, its really fun to use, but I've never had any issues fighting any sort of burning arrow ranger in pvp....and its like searing flames for rangers now lol NalanaUser Nalana Darkling Blue Eye2.jpgTalk 14:52, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

I can think of a couple immediate nice usages of this skill (at least for pve), including Burning Arrow + "They're on Fire!" + Glowing Signet (think hardmode elementalist bosses), Burning Arrow + Steam, Burning Arrow + Earthen Shackles to name a few. --Eyekwah 15:31, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

"They're on Fire!" "They're on Fire!" and Glowing Signet Glowing Signet are linked to the primary paragon attribute and wouldn't be much use to a ranger. You would only get 5% damage reduction and 5 energy back. I don't know how effective a paragon ranger would be? 81.101.118.238 16:48, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Even with Leadership and Glowing Signet, you wouldn't have enough energy to use Burning Arrow repeatedly, I would think, as a primary Paragon. Steam is outclassed by Throw Dirt (in my opinion), unless you're already an Elementalist... Shackles might be fun, however. (cast time's a little long, but if you have enough of an attribute investment in it, that's a hefty snare.) --User Jioruji Derako logo.png Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 21:12, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
