Burning Breath

Burning Breath is an active skill that can be taught to Sorcerers at level 44 and can be ranked up at later levels.

tl;dr: if you don't do PVP you can unbind this skill.

Burning Breath can be performed with a disc by the Sorcerer to deal DoT to a single target. This skill locks on, and also can be cast while moving. The amount of DoT is fixed, and thus not affected by equips.

Amount of damage dealt varies dependent on skill rank.

This skill is almost useless. Base damage at level 70 is 96. Only damage it does is damage over time, which is 3,120 per every 2 second for 10 seconds. (Level 70 character in PVP has nearly 300,000 HP). Only useful use is to reduce healing on opponent in PVP.

There is very complex system in place with Enhancement Points to buff Burning Breath. Various skills including Meteor Strike, Flame Pillar, Flaming Barrage and Burning Breath itself can give opponent "Burning Wound" debuff with low DoT. When EP points are spent Burning Breath can hit opponents which are affect by this debuff for maximum of 33&times; its nominal damage.

This damage is somewhere between Void Pulse and Lightning Strike damage. Problem is, it has 1&times; crit chance unlike those skills, which makes it useless in PVE. And it does not work like that in PVP where it only gives weak crit resist reduction (less that VM proc or Azart Mark). Also triggering "Burning Wound" debuff is somewhat unreliable and lasts only 5 seconds anyway.

You can most likely totally ignore this skill and unbind it. Also don't spend EP points on "Burning Wound" system.

Rank table
To obtain and upgrade Burning Breath, one must find a Magic Instructor and pay a certain price of gold dependent on rank.

Glyphs
To glyph, a glyph must be obtained and learned only once. At level 60, a character has 50 glyph points available to spend on all available sorcerer glyphs. Most glyphs, specifically common glyphs can be purchased from a Glyph Master, while fine glyphs must be looted from enemies.
