Talk:Glyph of Immolation

Would this make firestorm and meteor shower cause burning? <3


 * Probably, but so would Mark of Rodgort, which is so much more useful anyway --Gimmethegepgun 06:17, 4 August 2007 (CDT)


 * On the other hand, this Glyph could allow for some pretty damn hilarious combos. Like a Me/E who causes Burning with Conjure Phantasm :D [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 06:29, 4 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Devious thinking as usual, Entropy! That should be fun... --Gimmethegepgun 07:24, 4 August 2007 (CDT)


 * The description sais it only works on the target, so AoE won't work.

I don't know. I sense a nerf coming around the corner? I'm sure A-net with make this resticted to elementist spells or what would happen if you were a monk healing somebody with this gylph on? *smells BBQ* Flechette 17:55, 4 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Only works on enemies. The Hobo 17:56, 4 August 2007 (CDT)

That's right. I knew that, I was testing you. lol Flechette 18:27, 4 August 2007 (CDT)

3 Seconds of burning is not that much. I see the use coming primarily if it causes burning and THEN SF checks for burning, making it instant damage rather than burning x 2. The Paintballer (T/C)
 * SF is a spell of the past. ANet nerfed it into oblivion tbh, much better choices exist in Savannah Heat and Mind Blast. - Auron 18:44, 4 August 2007 (CDT)

This spell sets the target on fire for three seconds when you cast the spell. it won't keep on causing burning with DoT spells. --Ckal Ktak 03:46, 5 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Where did that come from? The Hobo 03:54, 5 August 2007 (CDT)

When this is used before a spell, the burning effect happens first or the spell? If burning happens it could be usefeul with Discord.
 * It's supposed to happen before the spell effect comes into play. Izzy pointed out the synergy with Steam. --Kale Ironfist 03:17, 6 August 2007 (CDT)

Could anyone see a Shock Warrior using this lil puppy right here to become even more annoying? Kalle Damos
 * How would this make shock wars more annoying?76.80.114.221 11:35, 6 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Assuming Shock stays a Skill, it won't. This only triggers on Spells.

The first that came to my mind (dont ask me how) was: Glyph of lesser energy+Glyph of Immolation+Glowing Gaze=free energy! Aint I truly badass at making Elementalist combos? xD -Shinoda 08:33, 8 August 2007 (CDT)
 * You can only have one Glyph at once. No, you're not that badass, sadly. :( ~  Gold [[Image:DeanIcon.png]] Dean   - 08:54, 8 August 2007 (CDT)
 * That was a extremely sad statement. I'm just going to laugh now. --Lann 17:44, 9 August 2007 (CDT)
 * It wasnt meant to be badass, silly :p -Shinoda 13:14, 13 August 2007 (CDT)

Boy oh boy, is this a gift for Searing Flames spammers. Pity you lose out on the energy managment that Glyph of Lesser Energy gives but this still can equal a fast take down for an SF team. I just hope we get a third ele hero in GW:EN. :) - Drive By Poster


 * You do, and honestly this is pointless with SF, and SF is overrated anyway. What you should REALLY be doing with those ele heroes is have 2 use SH and 1 use some AoE water snares --Gimmethegepgun 13:57, 13 August 2007 (CDT)

Hmmmm...how about using Glyph of Immolation-->auspicious incantation-->counjure nightmare?
 * Since Conjure Nightmare has 8 degen, the additional 7 would be wasted (-10 degen cap) cKowDont 07:38, 14 August 2007 (CDT)

If it would be used with Steam, it would make a nice blindness skill for Water eles. :) Big Bow 01:18, 15 August 2007 (CDT)

It can. --Ckal Ktak 02:21, 16 August 2007 (CDT)

thats bs. 222.153.236.223 02:31, 16 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Except no water ele is gonna use it for the same reason no water ele uses Elemental Flame: takes too much fire magic shittiness to get to 3 seconds of burning. It ILL however be used by fire noobs with 12-12-3 (3 is water) to get a little bit of blind --Gimmethegepgun 02:32, 16 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Earthen Shackles ? Fexghadi 06:09, 16 August 2007 (CDT)


 * ofc --Gimmethegepgun 06:24, 16 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Perhaps combine with Incendiary Bonds for 6 seconds of burn?--Gigathrash 00:09, 17 August 2007 (CDT)

Epidemic/Fevered Dreams fun since it should apply the burning before the spell goes into effect. Zulu Inuoe 19:02, 19 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Or combine with air spike skills, lol, glyph of immolation + lightning surge + lightning hammer >:)  assuming you have 12 air 12 Eng +3 fire, lol :D Tera arcane 09:27, 23 August 2007 (GMT)

about the bug note
Just from reading that, it looks like its AoE damage that doesn't cause burning (meteor is AoE, it can hit more then one target). -- Xeon 09:13, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
 * The deciding factor on the burning is if the spell fails if your target dies. For example, if your target dies when you're casting Fireball you will continue casting and the fireball will hit the area where they were. So no burning. If you're casting Liquid Flame and your target dies, the spell will fail. Therefore no burning. The basis for whether or not it will cause burning is whether or not the spell is area targeted, (AKA targeted first on the living target, and second, if the target dies, on the area where they were). So AOE DOT spells like Fire Storm will not cause burning, but spells like Flare would. --Seraphfamily, jumping over from PvX Wiki
 * Also, i suggest getting rid of the bug note. It's not a bug. --Seraphfamily again
 * It has to be a bug, as even AoE DoT spells target something.--Teh Uber Pwnzer 13:36, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
 * It's not a bug if it doesn't really target them. The ones listed use the foe as a cast target, but hit the ground instead of the foe and 'splash' the damage, which is why they don't cause burning. --Kale Ironfist 06:48, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
 * They do "target a foe". Unless the spell can be cast without targeting a foe, it should work with this glyph. --68.106.223.233 04:17, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

Maxing out degen with 1 spell...
Glyph of Immolation + Virulence. The Glyph fulfills the condition requirement (in fact even with no fire magic at all) so that Virulence can hit. --Jorx 05:03, 28 August 2007 (CDT)

Are we absolutely sure that it'll trigger? I didn't really find the above sentences to be very reassuring. Flechette 05:22, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Izzy says yes for Steam, so yes, it will work with Virulence. --Kale Ironfist 05:58, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Izzy? Please enlighten me. Is he some kind of A-net employee? And in before everyone else: do not kill me for not knowing who izzy is. :`\ Flechette 06:16, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Isaiah Cartwright the skill balancer/creator. --Kale Ironfist 06:25, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
 * The person everyone blames when their skills gets nerfed --Blue.rellik 06:26, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
 * And when he fails miserably to nerf something that DESERVES nerfing instead of stuff that doesn't like he usually does... --Gimmethegepgun 08:05, 28 August 2007 (CDT)

Btw., just think of Glyph+Epidemic... Setting a group of adjacent enemies on fire for only 10 Energy (5 additional energy for up to 2 more groups)... For the burning duration does not depend on Fire Magic attribute (which is ridiculous in my opinion - this makes this glyph far too strong!), you can in fact use this combo with any E/Me or Me/E build which can spare 2 slots (or uses Epidemic). A-Net should tie the glyph to Fire Magic anyhow. --Jorx 08:15, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
