Hypothetically speaking, if it was you that this happened to....and at no time did you see a 'massive' and yes 23 stacks would indeed be a 'massive' set of burns.....

what would you think happened?

I played Burn Guard before, and its impossible to hit for 8K+ with a single stack of burn lol, more likely you get hitted by tourch, purging flames, JI, etc and didnt even realiazed...the combat log wont say

"20 stack of burn for 8000 damage

10 stack of torment for 4000 damage

10 stack of confusion for 4000..."

 

So again, that scenario that you are trying to describe cant happen, not on sPvP and not even on WvW that uses PvE gear and foods, nourishments and etc...a single stack of burn wont do 8 K damage, unless we talking about 2-3 stacks of burn that lasted for 10 secs+

eh, that's fair.

 

So the combat log goofed and piled it into one?

 

I asked if it was a hack cause things can indeed happen that you all will say is impossible.

I thought, hey, maybe this dude was gaming the system. /shrug

That WvW video is laughable.... you really deserved this defeat on video for not condi transfering or cleansing **a single condition**. Your a NECRO, you sir have no excuses to let a condi guardian erupt all his burn CDs onto you.

 

@EnderzShadow.2506

Did you take a picture of the combat log? A Guardian with just his Amulet/Rune/Traits (no might stacks) can't go higher than 485k on a single burn tick. Assuming the guardian had no damage modifiers via Might, to reach 10k damage per tick he would need to place 20 burn stacks on you... which is darn near impossible in this meta (and Anet's harsh nerfs to burn guardian that was PvE issues to begin with).

 

Odds are he was a Power Guardian and the 8k red number you saw was you getting hit with something like [shield of Wrath](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Shield_of_Wrath "Shield of Wrath"). The explosion from that ability can hit 8k. I don't think you realized he was a Power or Hybrid Guardian if that was the case.

OP is either a troll or dumb. whoever calls burn guard op should go back to playing candy crush cuz he has no sense for pvp. i wonder why this post has over 50 comments. burn guards have alrdy been discussed so many times and its the same as always. an easy counterable gimmick build to pick up on noobs with rabbit rank that just joined the game and dont know the difference between condi and power dmg / how to cleanse condis.

In addition, Ranger/Necro/Warrior/Thief/Mesmer/Ele/Engi/Rev all have meta builds that can demolish - if not straight up counter - Burn Guardian.

That's how great our burn build is... aka it's a trash nub-stomper build.

glass cannon any class can 1v1 if the other person is stupid enough to not bring reveal or is a class that can't easily chase them/lock them down

If a glass cannon class can 1v1 then your original point is wrong.

Allright, aint gonna get in the whole "can glass cannons 1v1", but do you really think that reveal is a legit counter to Mesmer or any other profession that is famous for abusing this? Which builds that can comfortably swap one of their utilities for a reveal skill without getting into a even bigger disvantage? And lets not forget that not all professions have acess to this...since this is a Guardian thread, this profession dont have acess to it, only DH have it, on a single skill, that is the F1...guess theres a trap too that aply reveal.

And I disagree with you, one shot builds are not okay...this shouldnt be a thing in this game, unless the attack have a huge cast time and really telegraphed, but this is not really a issue on sPvP, is more of a problem on WvW roaming.

To eat 8k burn ticks, means you dodged absolutely nothing and you didn't cleanse a single stack. Meaning the burst set up by JI, purging flames, double torch 4 and F1 is still weaker than hammer guard.

As Sayian mentioned that is not how logs generally work, especially when you are downed.

 

Burn guardians are not a thing in sPvP that works.

You do realize that most classes do not have reveal access right?

 

Classes with (reasonable) reveal access:

Herald

Scrapper

Core necro (not the elites)

DH

Spellbreaker

You do realise that it only suceeds when you drop burns if mesmer or necro gives enough cover condis? 1v1 a burn guard is almost a free kill if you have a moderate ammount of condi cleanse. It's not like they can cover this burn so a random condi cleanse can take care of it easily.

Since you want to be technical, yeah it lasted all day Jan 1, 2018...

 

We have yet to see a season 10 or another balance patch.

 

Burn guard went from stupid-hilarious OP to just OP with the condi nerf patch.

 

I like it being in game though I'm not complaining. It's fun to play against and with.

Pre-PoF burn core guardian was okay. Though after PoF there are no viable burn guardian builds in sPvP.

Yeah, and most of these cant really swap the utilities for the the ones with the reveal or else they get in a even worse situation...Theres also Ranger with Sic'em, but i dont know how viable is that.

Nobody said that was impossible to get 8K burns with Guardian, what people said is that is impossible that a single stack of burn can deal 8K damage, that was what the OP was saying.

Yes they can, thats called adapting. The problem is that it's only worth to do it if you can adapt your playstyle around it, if you can't do that you will do even worse.

I was talking about a **top 25 player**, which OP clearly isn't.
