Have a look at these three Elementalist skills and tell me that Burning Speed does not suck.
[skill=big]Windborne Speed[/skill]
[skill=big]Burning Speed[/skill]
[skill=big]Flame Djinn's Haste[/skill]
Is Burning Speed practically useless?

A skill drastically inferior to other skills! This has never, even happened in Guild Wars!
This is blasphemy! This is madness!

300 FTW!,
But back on topic, i used to solo UW with burning speed and flameburst, when spiritbond wasnt hurt by the nerf-stick. But now it is inferior to other skills, maybe it will get a buff in the next skill balance

When it was a straight 50% speed boost it was worth being on fire, not so much now. 
Desbreko
It's not completely useless. Sometimes I use it in 13 HP monk builds to kill myself faster.

Lmao, thank you both for giving me a good laugh. It's not entirely useless. Put it with a Wammo and they can Leeroy AND cause burning. The burning effect on them would be canceled by Mending though ofc.
Evilsod
Hey it could be useful... run Fire/Water (ok i should stop there) with Frigid Armour and PBAoE spells
 No... it just sucks. It could be made quite effective with Extend Enchantments... but then again probably not.
Coloneh
the onlly way i can think of using it is on a dervish.
run melandru + burning speed + conjure flame + mark + more attack skills and stuff. not terrible

RIFK.
well its pretty bad, but its variable is speed and duration so you can get a near-dash speed for a fair amount of time, it also has no recharge. however, its still bad.
Realm of Fiery Doom
Also, while we're here, compare these skills.
[skill=big]Inferno[/skill] [skill=big]Flame Djinn's Haste[/skill] [skill=big]Storm Djinn's Haste[/skill] xDusT II
It needs to be made into a stance if it wants to compete as an IMS.
The need to constantly stop and cast it every 5 seconds ontop of frigid armor means in the long run your not running any faster.
Realm of Fiery Doom
And losing a lot of energy too.
BTW, do speed modifying enchantments stack? And is there a maximum speed bonus, or a minimum speed penalty?
Yanman.be
Yes, Realm of Fiery Doom, check out the state of the game articles on www.guildwars.com. I think it's 33% for stacked skills. Dash&Burning Speed are single, so they go over that.

[skill=big]Inferno[/skill] [skill=big]Flame Djinn's Haste[/skill] [skill=big]Storm Djinn's Haste[/skill] well inferno does the most damage. Out of the Djinn's (I did some testing on these when making a GvG flag runner) storm is the faster of the two (less recasts and a shorter cast time) but flame Djin's haste is more energy efficient and does damage but umm why do you what to compare them for PvE? mapping?
Realm of Fiery Doom
No, just saying that at 12 Fire Magic, Flame Djinn's Haste does 15 less damage and gives a speed boost of 33% for 17 seconds, and it seems to me (my opinion only) that it is vastly better than Inferno.

I think burning speed should get a buff so that it increases people's speed by 50% for 10 seconds ^ ^
Master Dude Guy
Anyways, I find Burning Speed useful sometimes. I run myself into a crowd of baddies and set 'em all on fire! I haven't gotten Flame Djinn's Haste yet, but as soon as I do, it's replacing Burning Speed.
Sure, Storm Djinn's Haste is better, bat what if you're a pyro? Huh? What if you're a pyro??
legacyofkain85
burning speed =useless hmm disagree
here u can implement it: avatar of melandru+burning speed but that also means to be a dervish frigid armor +burning speed cahrge in in battle and let mobs burn bruning speed +plague sending cant find anything more other than this
samcobra
burning speed is so guuuud!
mojave mango juice
Burning speed is nice for Lutgardis FFF on an Ele runner, it kills you faster.
Guildmaster Cain
I actually found this skill very usefull..
I needed to die in the Dunes of Despair Mission, to make Rebirth teleport work. Burning Speed is the skill that suicides the fastest. ^^

zwei2stein
Use burning for your advantage, it burn duration is cosntant so you can get away with N/E having 0 in fire.
not as good in contagtion build, but with plague sending it allows you to keep group permanently aflame with 0 attributes! Xunlai Agent Smith
if only they had left it at 50%, that was crazy! now it just sucks
Wildi
yes Burning Speed is practically useless with every possible skill combination even with plague sending or frigid armor you waste 15 energy every time, its not worth to build around
Gregslot
Of course not... its awsome...
Its good if you want to make one of those star bursters eles, you can use resilient weapon on yourself. But even if you dont, with the right timing, you can set foes on fire for 8 seconds (remember that fire takes 14 hp away each second) in my point of view the only thing that is missing its a 0 casting time

[skill]Burning Speed[/skill] + [skill]Frigid Armor[/skill] = a good elementalist runner.

you can use melandrus avatar with it. my friend does and uses some other stuff it actually works well for quick runs La-Ac Ac-La i think sanctum cay runs to mabye droks with.. fleeting and some adjusments O:
Puebert
It doesn't kill you as fast as:
[skill]Blood is Power[/skill] So yeah, it sucks.
ichigo_panty
melandrus + Picos Haste is better than burning speed. Unless enchantments are the things that you are worrying about.
Burning speed is useful when 50% as you can dash as fast as any sins in running with amour on. Now, it is 30-44%, Ouch. Bartimaeus_Niv_Maas
Mo/E: Burning Speed + Contemplation of Purity.
Extra enchant to lose and setting all adj foes on fire... who wouldn't want to try it at least once. (If not for that, at least to see peoples' responses to a monk who brings burning speed )

Pericles
Correct me if i'm wrong, but if u use burning speed with an enchant removal skill, the burning will not hurt that much, and there ya go:
an ~8 sec AoE burn O_o. Imo this is a very nice skill if u know how to remove the negative side-effects skaspaakssa
I actually tried Burning Speed+Frigid Armor on a Mind Blast ele... it worked pretty well, and Frigid Armor is still a good skill without Burning Speed. The only thing is it takes 2 precious skill slots...
LifeInfusion
wouldn't this be negated by mystic regen on a d/e? I think a D/E with Avatar of Melandru and mystic regen and some enchants to hit 7 regen (for when avatar of Melandru is on cool down) would apply some pressure and help the SFers (if any), at least in PvE.
jurektajne1
u can cast windborne on someone else not like 2 others skills ...
chaoskirina
Lol. I find it funny with a contagion necro in AB/FA.
Contagion+dark aura+death nova+burning speed, spam touch of agony and wallows bite and use signet of agony and it bring lots of hurt. you die often but that is part of the point. I find this very fun to use, especially when people see me charging in with a sword and think me stupid. although i still need a way to snare them. hmm, ah well. it is even more funny when a shadow prison sin tries to jump me and gets killed himself. heck, any melee character gets killed! but otherwise the only use I see for it is avatar of melandru + burning speed, frigid armor + burning speed, plague touch/sending + burning speed and that's it apart from my contagion suicider. Scorn
Back in the day when i did troll runs, this skill was imo the best skill on the bar, i could run to them really quickly (witha 600+hp monk), hardly lose any life, and i would gain it back when they'd hit me. Ontop of it all, they would always be burning. GG 2 min full troll run.
