Guild Wars 2

Can you blast with comet (focus 5, water) without a target? I tried blasting flamewall (focus 4, fire) but it didn’t seem to work, even if I arranged it so that the comet came down on the wall.

Yes, generally you just need to stand on one end of the wall, character facing down the line, camera above looking strait down, cast it and it should land on the end of the line.

Sometimes the game freaks out… best I can say for it not working when it looks like it should have.

you can, but its definitely not easy.

you just need to get used to the un-targeted range of the comet. Jerus is right, you can moderately control where the comet (or dragon tooth) will come down by angling your camera to the ground.

Strange. I drop the flamewall, move onto it, turn my body until its long side is in front of me. I drop the comet and it directly hits the wall. But no might. Even with the camera pointed straight down and the comet basically hitting at my feet: no might.

In fact, even with a big field like Radiation Field, dropping the comet inside doesn’t cause the combo.

I don´t think, that your comet hits the firefield. There is one step missing. How it works:

- lay down flamewall
- move to one end of it and face the other side
- stand still
- move camera completely down
- make one step backwards or forward
- hit #5

But it works only about 95%, because of …

ANet.

It work most of the time. On thing that can screw it up is ceiling. When the ceilling is low or when you are really close to a wall, comet or dragon tooth can be lost in it. You can try and see where it work and where it doesn’t work.
