Do you use staff attacks to trigger it? I get horrible uptime on the bonus damage, what skill do you use to keep it up?

    I don't know what context you're asking in reference to. But for pvp if you're using an inferno staff and crushing shock weaves you'll be able to proc it easily and often.

    looking up a guide will prob be faster than waiting for replies.

    you're clearly not using, for the lack of a better word, "meta" skills if you're having trouble procing it.

    which probably means even if you do proc it you're not at your full dps potential.

    It has a 20% to proc on Flame Damage abilities, so you need to keep spamming fire abilities over and over if you want it to work AND have a good uptime. MagDK has the highest chance of it proccing, otherwise you need to be wearing something like Grothdarr to increase the chances of it going up. Even though Grothdarr is a set, it still counts as a flame damage ability.

    I have found that ground based area of effects proc the set just find of course these need to be flame based. Skill such as elemental blockade, burning talons burning embers eruption are a few that come to mind if the damage is flame then it is good to go. also I observed that monster sets such as lamdris proc often on aoe's as well the longer the target stays in the area the more likely it will get some extra attention.

    WoE, Pulse + LA from Inferno staff.

    Lightning staff using fire enchant helps.

    Skills that proc BSW:
    Eruption, Engulfing Flames, Wall of Elements, Burning Embers, Flame Lash, Flames of oblivion

    Skills every mag DK in PVE should use:
    Eruption, Engulfing Flames, Wall of Elements, Burning Embers, Flame Lash, Flames of oblivion

    Even on a Templar with just wall of elements and reflective light you can get 60%+ uptime. The set is better than Julianos if you manage to get 50%+ uptime.

    I use 1 lightning staff with WoE on that bar and still have good uptime on my mDK. Between Burning Embers, Engulfing Flames, Eruption, Whip, and FoO, you should be getting 50%+ uptime, if not better (66% theoretical max).

    Edit: Not to mention Grothdar!

    So quick question; if I have a non-flame staff enchanted with flame would that be enough to proc it?
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    It should be, but you probably won't proc it very often, much less be close to the max up time possible.

    If you are using a decent PVE rotation, your uptime on BSW will usually be 50%-60%.

    If you PvE you can back bar fire staff, hit elemental blockade and switch back to front bar for the proc.

    I pair it with Infernal Guardian

    Mine usually procs off of elemental wall. Why aren't using a flame staff on mdk?

    mDK with a lightning staff means a heavy attack build (hopefully).

    Between Burning Embers (single target dot), Engulfing Flames, Eruption and fire Ilambris proc (aoe dots), you should have no problem getting a very high BSW uptime, regardless of type of staff used. And those, plus Elemental Blockade, are the staples of a mDK heavy attack build and should be at or near 100% uptime (proc excluded).

    Off balance adds 10% dmg, lit aoe does like 120%. I use lit staff for those 12k ticks.
