Guild Wars 2

Hi all

I am not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but it seems that Sigil of fire effect Flame Blast creates a mini combo field. I have been doing arcane blast after flame blast and I always get the 3 might stacks. It does not mention it on the wiki, but it i definitely creating a fire field. Anyone know about this?.

Basically with puromancers puissance, arcane trait might on fire and staff, If i do the sequence: earth #2, fire #2 and arcane blast, while next to an enemy sometimes I will end up with 9 and sometimes with 12 stacks. Looking at the damage log, the difference is flame blast, when next to the enemy and fire attunement triggers flame blast which is followed by fire #2 and arcane I end up with 12 stacks. Trying to find an explanation, so my conclusion is that fire blast is creating a combo field fire. i do no use any other skills while testing this.

It’s additional script actions (likely sunspot) that take place depending on if you’re in combat or not.

Out of combat with 30 fire XII, and 10 Arcana V you gain 1 might on attuning to fire.
In combat with the same, you gain 2 might instantly on attuning to fire.
In combat, if you’re casting a spell when you attune to fire, you will gain a 3rd might when the spell finishes casting.

You should expect to get:
1 attuning to fire (elemental attunement)
1 lava font (PP)
3 arcane wave (blast)
1 arcane wave (PP)
3 eruption (blast)
1 flame blast proc

Plus the extra 2 if you were in combat and casting a spell while attuning to fire.

Thank you for the nice explanation. It is more clear to me now. But I am still slightly confused where does the extra 2 come from at the end?. O count 1 from sunspot but what about the other?, if it is flame blast, would that mean it gets counted twice?

Pyromancer’s Puissance. You’re getting one for sunspot, and a second when you finish casting the spell that you started before attuning to fire. In the video it’s eruption.
