The Continuum 101 by Mac

Burn is a targetable, action ability which deals DAM over the course of four combat rounds. The heaviest DAM is dealt the in the first round, then decreases slightly the next three rounds. Level 5 can deal up to 93 DAM which is nice, but that amount of DAM can easily be obtained from a good basic attack. So weigh its pros and cons and decide if it's right for your unit.

Pros - It is targetable, so you can avoid counters. Always a huge plus. Maxed out deals a fair amount of DAM, and is a nice fit in AoE-ish strategies. Burn can be maxed out rather quickly giving you a bit of an edge in lower level games.

Cons - The damage is "fair", but, as mentioned, the DAM can be done in one round with a strong basic attack. It is also curable. If your opponent uses a lot of Cure, many times only the first round of DAM will count. For the love of Thabo, do not spec this on a Fire Elemental.
