D/E: Making a use for Burning speed

D-E Flaming Cloak

Mysticism: 11 (10+1)
Scythe Mastery: 16 (12+4)
Earth Prayers: 9 (8+1)
Fire Magic: 5

- Arcane Zeal [Elite] (Mysticism)
- Mystic Sweep (Scythe Mastery)
- Reap Impurities (Scythe Mastery)
- Mirage Cloak (Earth Prayers)
- Armor of Sanctity (Earth Prayers)
- Burning Speed (Fire Magic)
- Mystic Regeneration (Earth Prayers)
- Resurrection Signet ()

The ironic sideboard:
- Flame Djinn's Haste (Fire Magic) instead of Burning Speed <-- since it has the same 100% upkeep as Burning speed, at 5 fire magic
================================================== =======
Original concept was to make Burning speed useful without having to resort to Frigid Armor or Avatar of Melandru.

Using an amazingly odd skill as Burning speed, it also has much defense and offense:
-7 degen from burning 100% of the time = 70 damage everytime you cast burning speed
-Mirage Cloak spam every 10 seconds (51 damage)
-35% constant speed boost to catch kitting mobs

Defensive:
-Armor of Sanctity for damage reduction from the burning mobs
-Mirage Cloak spam = 50% blocking
-Mystic Regeneration = -1regen when burning due to Burning speed (if only Burning speed and Mystic regen are on)
-Reap Impurities, to put the constant burning to good use (healing)

Arcane Zeal is purely to gain back energy for Burning Speed and help fuel Mystic regen.

Yes, it is a crazy outside of the box build.
================================================== ========

yes this IS a wierd build 1 thing though too much casting for it to do any real damage.... ill have to test it and I thought burning speed had a 1/4 sec casting time? also dont remember that 5 secs of burning or w/e does 70dmg what if they have regen? although very well put together u probly need something that + enchants... time to test. TO THE LAB!

This reminds me of a crazy running build someone stuck on gwiki ages ago, based around spamming burning speed under ether renewal for energy management (it wasn't very good afaik). Except for the old bugged ice spear spam there's nothing better. Burning's speed most common use is on AoM dervishes but a net 6 e cost is still quite prohibitive.

In this case it looks like you'll spend too much time casting to benefit from your high scythe mastery as much as a more conventional build, it would make more sense running something like zealous vow which isn't as much of a timesink. Will probably test anyway.

I tried something like this a few weeks ago......didn't do as much damage as I thought it would. The 39% speed boost was nice though, I was able to catch kites pretty damn quick.

I was actually expecting some use of Extend Enchantments to give a very fast speed boost.

rofl. If you wanted a speed boost, storm djinn's haste or flame djinn's haste is better.

This build was purely for kicks, to see what I could do with Burning Speed to make it sort of useful.

I believe Zealous Vow would work, but it would involve investing in Wind Prayers, which would not allow Mystic Regen/Armor of Sanctity (which are instrumental here to prevent you from self destructing).

nah it wasn't for the speed boost -- I wanted to try a build that could constantly keep some one on fire with out the need of mark of rodgort and fiery scythe, provided decent pressure and could whack things pretty hard with the pointy stick.
