Guild Wars 2

For awhile I played Guild Wars 2 as a thief with The Hall of Monuments skinned sword weapon “Fiery Sword (Fire)” as my weapon for about a year.

As of recently, I ended up switching to Jormag’s Breath for a condition damage set.

I love how it looks and everything except the follow, Wheres the fire?
I would always run around hitting rabbits and killing Moas (shame on me, I know) with the HoM Fiery Sword and a fire effect would come up as the character kill emote. (The way the enemy died when I sent a finishing blow with the sword)

Jormag’s Breath doesn’t actually give that affect to anyone I have killed with it.
Not only do I miss Bandits dancing around in flames once I killed them, but its as if the Fire effect on my sword is being ignored, as if it has no effect (or proves it) when I kill an enemy. This makes me rethink “Was it really worth 94 Gold to have a sword that is totally being ignored by enemy’s to what is actually hitting them? A sword on fire doesn’t make them go up in flames?”

Don’t misunderstand me thinking I’m upset of using my gold this way. I love the weapon, but this minor detail is something I hope gets changed. Thats all!

I believe Jormag’s Breath work this way due to the weapon not being set to an effect tied with the weapon. The HoM skin, Fiery Sword, is named “Fiery Sword (Fire)” where as “Jormag’s Breath” doesn’t have that effect (Fire) tied into it. As a player, I have no idea what causes that fire effect to be applied to deaths on enemies, but I assume the (Fire) written at the end of the weapon determines weather or not the enemy’s death may be different.

I know its a small thing, but little things like these do get noticed and do make a huge impact to me as a player! Some may argue that “Jormag’s Breath has blue flame, thus it doesn’t deserve the flame effect on enemies when killed”, well I know there can be an alternate way by just using the blue flame kill effect (Guardian’s use it).

My request is to hopefully have “Jormag’s Breath” have the (Fire) effect on it, so that when I kill enemies, they breathe their last breath on Tyria while their skin melts as they fall!

Thank you for the read!

Well, Jormag’s Breath is an ice sword.

As you can see here It’s not a blue flame, but an icy cloud. And given the hilt looks like Jormag’s mouth, it literally is Jormag’s Breath

Thats a good point! To me it looks as if its HoM’s Fiery Sword (Fire) but a blue version of it. The fact that its a Dragon makes me think its breathing fire, so I still think that Blue Flame isn’t wrong to add.

However, with the perspective of taking it as Ice Breath, should’t there be at least an effect on kills to resemble and show that the fiery effect isn’t being ignored and that your not using a regular sword?

The effect on kill should be expanded to all applicable weapons, not just Legendaries.

I’m not quite sure giving the burn enemy affect on every weapon was what I was hoping for. That would be odd. I hope for Jormag’s Breath to have the affect to kill enemy’s with the flame death due to his effect showing 24/7 on the weapon, be in wielded or in player hands.
