Guild Wars 2

I am playing a Charr Guardian. When using a mace I see the skill assigned to the 1 key has three different skills. I also notice the same with the Torch related skilled Zealots Flame. Can you pick which one of these skills to use? Is it part of a combo? If you can pick what to use, how do you change between the skills? Please educate me. Thanks

It is a combo.. after you use the first move it it goes to the second, then the third. They run in sequence as you use the ability over and over.

No question is a dumb question

You can’t pick which one to use…they are Chain abilities. Meaning that once the first one is triggered it will be replaced with the second…trigger the second and the third will become available. If you kill the mob that you have targeted the process resets back to the first ability for the next target.

If you have a chain on your auto-attack you’ll probably hardly ever notice it going through the sequence.

Thanks that makes sense.

It is NOT tied to the mob you have targeted but you DO have to hit something for the sequence to continue. However there is a timeout for any skill that is not first in the chain. If they are not used after a couple of seconds it will reset.
