Lightning Combo Field Problem
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!
