Guild Wars 2

I just noticed today that upon blast or leap finishing an Ethereal field none of the Aura traits Ele has will apply boons (Fury, Swiftness, Protection). Chaos Armor doesn’t say “Aura” anywhere but it works exactly like one. Could this be an oversight or a deliberate distinction? If so, why?

good, I never liked mesmers anyway.

I go out of my way to leap into mesmer fields if I’m running with daggers. I’m an ele… with chaos armor. You’re so unbelievably dead.

OT I think it’s an oversight. By all accounts it’s an aura.

Solo.9027:

For traits to proc you have to be the source of the aura. Its why leap finishers in fire fields don’t proc but casting fire shield directly does. In this case I like to think of it as the field entity is applying an aura to me for satisfying it’s conditions to do so.

edit: also you should be glad because mesmer ethereal fields can double finisher if you put another field on top of them.

im fairly sure you’re incorrect
if i magnetic grasp>leap into another players fire field i trigger zephyrs boon
if i blast finish into someones ice field (or my water elementals) it triggers zephyrs boon

ive never seen a double finisher with ethereal fields (aside from warr longbow; which is two projectile finishers); and chaos armour doesnt seem to stack duration anyway; so it doesnt matter

i dont think its an oversight that chaos armor doesnt trigger it… but if it did i wouldnt get annoyed so much at mesmers covering up better fields
