Burn Necro...such a beast or meme?

Plain and simple, is there such a thing or was there at some point? I am just curious as I saw it mentioned in a few discords and it just got me wondering if it was legit or a meme.

Now i am speaking just for OW of course but just trying to mix things up a bit.

Cheers!!  😉

That's an interesting question, more often than not, I'd mostly see Burn as a secondary condition for necromancer.

Now, at some point in PoF, way before the possibility was nerfed, I can recall a burn build being a thing for scourge. Nowadays... I'd say that Harbinger might be able to pull something close to a "burn" build even if torment still feel like it's the dominant source of damage.

Though it strengthens your already good condi variety even further, burning is a secondary condi for scourge and harbinger, but both of their majority damage comes from torment; scourge always additionally burns in addition to torment thanks to demonic lore.

A Harbinger with quickness can put out burn pretty quickly with Dhuumfire, but it is still a torment first sort of spec.

Actually Reaper will produce more Burning with it, since Harb has an even weaker split balance version of Dhuumfire. Reaper applies 3 sec of Burn per AA, Harb 1 second. So despite Tainted Bolt's double hit, it's less. 

 

And no, Burn Necro was never a thing. The closest to it is probably a subpar OW Hybrid Reaper focusing on cleaving with Dhuumfire Autos.
