1. Whenever I try to cast Comet (ice) on my fire field it always casts away from me. When i see people stacking might in vids I see it cast on top of them. Same with sceptor skill (2 I think dragons tooth or w.e)

2. For that matter how do I get the ranged projectile finishers to interact with fields? I cast them but nothing ever happens. They seem to be random when it goes off in a fight. Can you even cast them ooc?

First, aim strait down on you or strait up with the camera. That’ll get it to land closest and most predictably.

Second, any strange terrain will ruin it. Even a slight slope can make it unuseable, sometimes it strait just doesn’t want to land.

And, what do you mean ranged projectile finishers? If you just mean comet/dragons tooth, they’ll go on your target or if no target out infront of you a distance (which again can be manipulated by angling your camera). Remember though, there is a range on blast effects (iird like 300 or so), so you can’t be way back dropping blasts on a fire field on the boss and expect to get the buff.

Aiming Dragon’s Tooth and Comet is tricky to learn, and takes practice to do it reliably. Here’s one guide for out-of-combat might stacking.

I’d also note that there are a variety of different rotations you can use for this. Try to find one that’s comfortable for you.

In a place with a low ceiling (looking at you, CM!!!), back down about 300 range distance, look up at between 30 and 50 degree then cast your dragon tooth. Comet doesn’t seem to have the ceiling problem though.
