I don't own the Hexbound set but I felt like giving out my thoughts about it from an outsider perspective. I think it's a pretty cool set although not sure I'd ever find myself in many situations where the monster, you fight deals fire damage whilst being weak to fire themselves not counting PCO ele scrambling. But I think that’s why they promoted investing END with the weapon so you can play risky and take some hits to take advantage of the full set bonus.
The idea of the auto self inflicted burn is interesting, reminds me of a similar-ish thing from the E-series cryojet weapon, where you can toggle for extra damage but at the cost of being inflicted with ice damage to the player (Not a DoT). If it works how I think it should, I believe you can reduce fire burn DoT on yourself, with a fire res misc like OPTIC or any other fire res misc out there, which we would be useful if you're wearing an armour that doesn't have great fire resistance. Granted I don't know how bad the burn will be on a non fire armour with the weapon.
Another thing besides cleansing the burn with healing branch, you can also use Protocea a misc that gives a quickcast option to cleanse the burn, and give you the regen status to regen health. Then it's a matter if you wanna spend MP or SP to cleanse that burn and choosing between a tome or a misc. Or better yet using absorb hexes from necro just have to be careful it's not quickcast and you leave yourself wide open to an attack that's not darkness, earth or ice damage unless you do this with celarity active.
Overall even though I won't ever buy the whole set, other than maybe the shield. Would give majors props for trying something different.
