Ele: Cleansing Fire Trait DOES NOT WORK!

#1 - Dec. 16, 2013, 12:04 p.m.

Hi there.
I watched the forums a couple of times here and there and I am surprised that no one posted yet this bug. Anet promised some new traits for elementalist which can go to fire while still having some removing conditions like the cleansing fire trait which can trigger after you have 3 condition damage on you and that will clear those conditions while burning the enemies around you with 40 second cooldown.
Thing is IT DOES NOT WORK. Yes it sais what it does the Fire Trait VIII but I never saw an automatic cleansing fire not even if I had 3 or 4 or 5 conditions on me in pvp or in dungeons or in the world. I don’t recall any cleansing fire animation ever since the new update and I relied on that skill.
I don’t know if it a bug or made for purpose like a good joke, but for now I chose to believe that it’s a bug and later we’ll see. I really hope that the developers will look into that trait and fix it very soon. I am wondering that no one found out this bug since now and no one posted on the forums, or I haven’t found it. Because it is almost a week ago since the new traits are up and since I never saw any complaint about this issue than I thought I have to post is. And please let me know if any of you have the same problems and if the developers are aim to fix this bug.
Thank you

This trait is working functionally on live if I am correct. What is the issue you are having? Where are you using the trait? What other traits do you have equipped when testing this? How are you being applied conditions when this trait is not proccing for you?

The way this trait functions is that once your character acquires three unique conditions you will proc a version of cleansing fire, removing three conditions. The animation that plays plays yellow streaks that circle down your character from top to bottom while casting the aoe fire proc. There was an internal bug where this trait was functioning oddly when the trait comes off cooldown if you have conditions presently on you. What it should do in this instant is look for the next three applied unique conditions and proc once you’ve acquired them. Please let us know if this is not what you are seeing and provide as accurate as a description as possible. This saves us a lot of time!

Thanks!
