Joxer.6024 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 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!! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadnir.5038 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drarnor Kunoram.5180 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Condi Scourge puts out a decent amount of burning, but it's definitely a secondary or tertiary damage condition for them. Torment and possibly bleeding are both more important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lan Deathrider.5910 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 A Harbinger with quickness can put out burn pretty quickly with Dhuumfire, but it is still a torment first sort of spec. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirage.8046 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZephidelGRS.9520 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 There was a brief period at the start of Soto where Scourge was allowed to use Pistol with unnerfed Demonic Lore. That was the closest thing to a Burn Necro it has ever been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
