Shows they need to buff the Fire DoT. I've seen health regen faster than it can tick making it worthless. Fire is used to pad damage numbers, *thats all* It can't even kill someone at 2% health running away with no MP trying to potion up compare to that red mage dot who can just land the dots and watch you die in a guard. Fire is a trap and worthless >:-(

I've been trying to tell people this since 6.1 dropped, so it's nice to see other people are on the same page.
Fire is garbage. It would be weak even in a vacuum, but at the cost of spammable crowd control it's a genuine trap.
The Burn dot should increase in potency with Astral stacks, not duration.
