Searing Flames

Acquisition
Signet of Capture:
 * Kormab, Burning Heart (Dasha Vestibule (Mission))
 * Korr, Living Flame (Turai's Procession)
 * Korshek the Immolated (Forum Highlands)

Counters

 * Because the skill requires large quantities of energy, you will often see the enemy elementalist use Fire Attunement.  Removal of this will frequently drain the elementalist's energy.


 * Most builds that are built around Searing Flames are not very flexible since it revolves on spamming this skill. Any skill that can disable Searing Flames for a period of time will quickly knock the build out of service.


 * It's worth remembering that Spirits cannot be set on fire, this means that they are completely immune to this skill, as is anyone with Frigid Armor or Avatar of Melandru for the same reason.


 * Don't bunch up.


 * Use protection.


 * Spirits like Recovery, or Enchanment spells that reduce the duration of conditions, also limits the usefulness of this spell.
