Does anyone else find it odd that not only is the lightning combo field only allowed to be made my one profession, but also only ONE skill? (two if you count the static field on the lightning hammer, but I do not count that because it is the same skill)

Comparing it to ALL other combo fields, this one is by far the most rare because it is only made by one skill and said skill has a 40 second cd….

Who else wants more ways of getting this combo field?

I think you’re absolutely right, it’s super weird. And it’s not as though it’s especially powerful. The only thing it offers that most other combo fields don’t is CC with it’s daze application. Frankly, that might actually be why Lightning fields are so rare, because apparently ArenaNet still seems to think this is a MOBA and that a 1-second daze is a super huge deal.

I’ve been saying for a while that putting another skill that produces a Lightning field into the dagger mainhand somewhere would be a smart move. It doesn’t need to stun, ArenaNet! It’s okay for there to be a Lightning field with a reasonable cooldown!
