Fire Burst Damage-A Proposed Solution

[Therubor]

First off, I'd like to say that this is not a rage thread about Fire getting nerfed, which, as far as I can deduce from Bullroarer players, isn't actually happening.

Second, I'd like to say that I am a noob, and all of my ideas are based on the going-ons of my level 53 RK. Due to the lack of hard, definite numbers, I can't factor in the confirmed U6 damage changes. :\ However, I have considered mechanics changes such as Master of Connotation.

Righto, lets get to the meat.

As we all know, Fire has been somewhat lacking on the burst front. We also all know of the fact that there are those who'd like it to stay as such, despite the fact that Hunters can do both and Champs can as well and the fact that CAN'T YOU SEE THAT WE'LL BE OUTDONE BY CAPPYS YOU-

Sorry about that. Anyway, my proposal is:
1. Reduce Smouldering Wrath's channeling time to 5 seconds. (From the U6 change)
2. Have each (stackable) Master of Connotation buff reduce SW's channeling time by 1 second, and also make it give back 3% of max morale. (Stacks up to 5 times.) The buff could be wiped by using WoC or, possibly, Improved Sustaining Bolt.

So, from my napkin math on a level 53 RK using a neutral leg wep with 6 Fire traits, a hit with SW at 5 Master of Connotation would do 1984 damage, which is roughly the same as, for me, a T3 Essence of Flame devastating hit. This seems somewhat overpowered, which leads to part three.

3. Each Master of Connotation buff reduces SW damage by 3% and increases power cost by the same amount.

By adding this, SW becomes more situational. Rather than mashing it every time it comes on, we would have to save the instant version for times that require burst, and use the normal one

However, an incentive for using WoC would be needed to make wiping the buff possible. ( iSB could be used when low on power.) So, as I said in a later post's edit, it needs some beefing up.

4. WoC reduces Tactical Mitigation by 5% per tier. Target range reduced to 1. Damage increased.
5. The Frost-burn trait makes WoC 3-target AoE. Also adds a Physical and Ranged Mitigaton reduction with a value equal to the normal debuff.

So, that's it. Questions, comments, criticisms, suggestions, etc., please.
