Guild Wars 2

My double dagger Elementalist abuses the fire combo field, easily giving 19 stacks of AoE might. Combined with 4 Warriors each using Signet of Rage+For Great Justice, we got ourselves a team packing a constant 25 stacks of Might, Fury, Swiftness, Protection and Regeneration. Doubling every Warrior and myself damage output with the addiction of insane defense.

Throw in a Guardian, Mesmer or Necro into the mix and it makes my job of boon stacking significantly harder. I don’t want AoE Chaos Armor or worthless Retaliation, I want Might! I have to avoid their combo fields to get the ones want, AKA my own.

It would be nice to give combo finishers priority.
Combo Field Priority:
Yourself – Your Party – Your Allies

That way I don’t have to worry about combo fields giving the wrong combo finishes.

One of the more advertised things about combos was comboing with your allies.

So no.

Plus, what you’re doing is supposed to be a bit difficult.

hmm, that’s actually a reasonable suggestion.

i’m going to bump this and hope that it gets taken under consideration.

that sort of comes with the whole point of combo fields is to give teams that can coordinate a bonus

I’m talking priorities, not removing ally combo fields.

Allied combo fields unintentionally make combos more difficult.

For example, what if a guardian used a light combo field then light blades for an AoE condition removal. Fighting the same boss my Mesmer uses Feedback; instead of removing conditions from his team he’s throwing confusion.

Confusion is nice but it’s not what the Guardian wanted. That’s not comboing with your allies, that’s my Mesmer reflecting projectiles and my combo field just happens to override the one he wanted.

It would have better coordination if the Guardian helped his team with AoE condition removal. Heck, afterwards he could Leap though Feedback, away from his combo field to get Chaos Armor.

Yes, it’s good to use combo fields with your allies but you can unintentionally ruin combos.

thats where the whole coordination thing comes in, its not coordination if people are firing off combo fields and disrupting what others are trying to set up.
