Burning
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
Burning is a condition that inflicts damage over time and stacks in intensity. Like all damaging conditions it can stack up to 1500 stacks. Characters suffering from burning will have flames emanating from them. Damage is determined by the following formula:“Deals damage every second; stacks intensity.

(0.155 * Condition Damage) + (1.55 * Level) + 7
damage per stack per second, -
(0.155 * Condition Damage) + 131
