Guild Wars 2

Why do we have 1200 ranged blast finishers in this game but you dont get the blast finisher bonus?

Like a fire field > 1200 range blast finisher arrow on it > normally you get 3 stacks of might.

But you only get this might if you are in melee range where the blast hits.. (around 240 units)

So if you fire the arrow from 1200 range or anything above 240 range you DONT get the might…

umm, because that’s how blast fields work and having a ranged finisher gives you the option of activating the effect at distance or not. . . ?_?

Does it still give allies in the area of effect might?
Are these skills usable withing 240 range as well as further away? (i.e. Arcane wave can be used as just a normal blast at a distance, but if your playstyle warrants it, you can choose to use it at close range as a blast finisher)

That would be why.

Its about Arcing arrow, the skill is a 1000-1200 ranged arrow with a blast finisher.

If you fire it from this range into a firefield 1000-1200 away you dont get the might stacks..

Only if i am close enough to the blast finisher (240 units ) i get the might..

I understand you dont get a bonus because your that far away.. but why even make a 1200 ranged skill a blast finisher if you dont profit from it.. i HAVE to be in melee range to fire an arrow.. else you dont profit from the blast finisher

Kinda weird no?

So that others can profit from it.

it’s for supporting your allies…

So if i blast my arrow into a firefield my teammates gets might if they are standing into melee range of my blasted arrow?

They do. Also, keep in mind there are also fields that would allow you to trigger area blindness and area weakness, so that’s something well done at range too.

aaaaaaah didnt know that!
wiki doesnt tell you everything also.. (nothing seen about the real blast finishers proc range on wiki..)

Thanx guys!!!

And healing and swiftness – my new server has actually no clue about that. They probably wonder why I blast spam each time we stack.
