Guild Wars 2

Dunno how many people know of this combo field but I just discovered it by mucking about.

Bombkit’s Smokebomb + Big Ol’ Bomb gives us about 2-3 seconds of stealth.

Anyone else found any other combo fields that are not too well known?

I think a decent number of people know about it. Its awesome that you found it though. Now try using Big Ol’ Bomb, thumper turret overcharge, rumble, magnetic inversion, healing turret and then exploding both turrets into smoke bomb and see how much stealth you can get. =)

Any Leap/Blast Finisher + Smoke Field creates stealth

I heard it maxes out at 12 seconds never use enough blast finishers to find out tbh.

I just did a quick search and couldn’t find if it maxes out at 12 seconds or not. For some reason I was thinking I have gotten it to 15 when playing around with it, but I can’t be sure.

Also, my favorite of EG4 to blast away from mobs/players.

Anyone who has played a thief knows this already lol. Not a little used combo either. Its one of the more practical ones for WvW solo roaming. Smoke Bomb read the tips for a little more info. Smoke field + blast = 3 seconds area stealth. Smoke + leap = 2 seconds personal stealth. Max stealth = 12 but you can get up to 15 if you use Shadow Refuge though part of that is while in the refuge so players will know where you are for a while.

It does max at that. Me and my ele and thief teammates max our finishers it never goes past 12 seconds

Good to know. Thanks for clarifying.

You know I’ve been playing this game since 3 day early launch and never much bothered with the combos before. I guess there’s a ton more yet for me to explore and learn.

If you think that’s good, try dropping a Smoke Bomb + Big Ol’ Bomb, then Rifle 5 + Rocket Boots.
Rocket Boots alone is a good one, since it lets you get far away AND stealth together.

Rocket Boots is especially handy as it stealths after the flying, so after you’ve dealt damage.

You can keep a party up with 25 stacks of might for 60 secs at a time if you know what you are doing…12 stacks of stealth and so forth. This is stuff you learn within your first month of the game , combo fields and finishers

Just make sure no one is standing in your smoke field, or it will instantly reveal you when it blows up.

12s Stealth Engine style by me:

BoB→Smoke bomb→Turret drop and blow→Shield4→Elixer Gun skill 4.

Have your own SR Engine style.

Note: Have to execute in exact order as list. And all order need to be done in 2s.

Shortly after release I did get 15 secs once (13s after the rotation) using a bunch of turrets, mag inversion, and the supply crate. Maybe it’s no longer possible to get that. Of course, everything was then on cooldown, so it was just a novelty.

Didn’t realize that this stacks, for some reason. 12s stealth is going to be sweet!

Combo fields and finishers…. if you don’t know how to use them, learn! Very powerful!

I just tested with 6 blast finishers and only got 14 seconds of stealth. That’s where it maxes out, I guess because I would have gotten 18 seconds.

Stealth max out at 14s, so does SR on thief.

Excellent stuff. Tagged for future reference.

My variant:

BoB+Smoke bomb+Turret drop and blow+Shield4+Rocket Boots (as I always run with rocket boots in WvW)

What you achieve is same duration stealth + the jump from rocket boots.

Also worth to mention you can start with fire bomb to get some might stacks out of the stealth as well (if your ping is good, otherwise stick with 1 combo).

Don’t think so,Ane. If you drop Fire bomb first, unless you wasted on Blast on Fire Field, smoke bomb after will override Fire field. You can not get both at the same time with one blast.

You are correct, my bad (you can still get some might and stealth tho, but duration on stealth will be lowered obviously!).

Yes, it is done if you drop Fire Field and some blast to get might. After that, drop smoke bomb and drop the remaining blast to obtain Might and Stealth. But like you said, it won’t last long depend on how many blast you use on Fire Field and Smoke Field.
