Burning Ambition
The perk is trash, it takes wayy too many shots to Scorch the target and takes too many shots to cause an Ignition…
How to fix:
- Reduce the amount of shots required to apply Scorch by a noticeable amount to have it more leveled like Jolting Feedback.
- While you have Radiant or Restoration, the amount of shots required to apply Scorch are reduced and will you apply more Scorch Stacks with the weapon to Scorched targets.

5 RepliesI like your suggestions and would welcome them. I will add, however, that it works well in higher difficulty content since it takes more shots to kill targets anyways. Where you can kill them relatively fast, Incandescent is a better trait. Both are good for different reasons. But, again, I certainly wouldn’t object to a buff.

7 RepliesEdited by ABADDON_WOLFFE: 11/3/2025 5:45:43 PMI think it's meant to be used in tandem with a solar build and shoot targets already being scorched. (To add more scorch xD) Which kinda defeats it's purpose. 🤔

Especially on primaries. I would never use that for mini boss or DPS as it takes way too much time and against ads and orange bars there are better options. It fits in a weird spot in my opinion where it really shines at nothing. And on heavy MG like Unwavering I’d prefer target lock or killing tally.

If your wep is champ stunning, that scorch it gains that ability. Nice for barriers and overloads.

It works [i]really[/i] well with Ember of Ashes (obviously...) and the Ashes to Assets modifier, but the latter is pretty situational. I think giving extra benefits when radiant is a good idea and now that you mention it, it seems weird that it doesn't already.

1 ReplyEdited by MNN8TV: 11/3/2025 8:59:00 PMIncandescent and burning ambition are basically opposite use cases. Incandescent is good for little enemies and/or easier content. Burning ambition is amazing but only in harder content and/or tankier enemies. Burning ambition definitely is a bit more limited though I’ll give you that. In order for it to be worth it you need a way to apply at least some scorch first. Best method I’ve found is using it with song of flame. Song of flame causes a small amount of scorch on solar or kinetic weapon damage. So burning ambition starts working on the second instance of damage from a weapon.
