so a couple of days ago i noticed that when a combo field would go down, and right before i blasted it a second one was placed, i would produce the effect of the second field. shouldnt it be the first field?

has anyone else been noticing this, or is it just me?

They overwrite. Guards have a light field on hammer AA rendering the weapon useless as it nullifys fire fields.

Yes, it should. Finishers always interact with the oldest field.
Are you sure there were only two fields down, though? – they’ve recently developed a habit of randomly disappearing.

Really? Is this new or only in WvW?
In PvP, my smoke fields didn’t apply stealth when there was already another field under them.
The wiki says only the first field affects combos.

In the case of the hammer the field has 100% uptime so it’s almost always the oldest field.

I also have noticed this issue, and I was able to replicate it outside of WvW by applying fields on inclines.

On inclines I could place a field and blast that field just fine. When I put another field on top of it and then blasted, I would sometimes get the second field. I am not sure what exactly caused it to select one field over the other.

i guess its that disappearing combo field issue. its really annoying. the new fields are great and all, but if they ruin a water reset because we cant see that some fool dropped a symbol, then what is the point. ITS ALL POINTLESS.
