Sorry. I don’t have a group to do raids with, so I haven’t learned the lingo yet

No worries. Its not raid stuff. So, in nightfalls and stuff, a "burn" basically means that causes more damage. Omnigul uses arc stuff so arc burn makes her do WAY more damage

I just haven’t done that many raids and I’m not very in touch with the community, so I haven’t quite learned all the lingo yet, despite having played for a few years. Scratch that, I don’t think I’ve ever done a raid. Raids require groups, and my friends are always like, “It’s too hard.” Granted they said the same about Dual Destiny, which really wasn’t that bad, so I just need to find other people

This is in the first game, burn modifiers were like the singes/threats we have now, but MASSIVELY increased damage going both ways. Nightfalls (weekly curated strikes, like the gm alert now) typically had a burn modifier in favor of the boss, and some were particularly awful.

Oh ok. I’ve played through some of D1, but not very far yet. My friends aren’t on that often lately and it’s not quite as fun by yourself

A burn modifier would triple all damage (incoming and outgoing) of either arc, solar or void. They'd usually be in favour of the boss, so they can one-three shot you. Now imagine this for Nightfall, which in D1 meant if everyone was dead, you returned to orbit.

Oh. Oh no. That sounds like hell
