Is Burning Speed practically useless?

Burning speed is nice for Lutgardis FFF on an Ele runner, it kills you faster.

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. ^^

not as good in contagtion build, but with plague sending it allows you to keep group permanently aflame with 0 attributes!

if only they had left it at 50%, that was crazy! now it just sucks

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

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.

D/E

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:

It doesn't kill you as fast as:

[skill]Blood is Power[/skill]

So yeah, it sucks.

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.

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 )

an ~8 sec AoE burn O_o. Imo this is a very nice skill if u know how to remove the negative side-effects

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...

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.

u can cast windborne on someone else not like 2 others skills ...

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.

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.
