Guild Wars 2

Hey,

Not sure if this should be posted here or in the suggestion forum but shall post here for now. I would just like to make a small suggestion to the way in which the blast combo finisher The Prestige on the torch currently works.

At the moment you have to have to wait for a 3 second channel in order for the blast to combo in a field. For those 3 seconds you must be in the combo field for it to combo correctly.

I would like to suggest that the blast finisher didn’t require the 3 second channel. My reasoning for this is many fields used in group play such as an elementalists Lava Font and Static Field have a short duration of 4 seconds which gives a less than a 1 second reaction time to activate your blast finisher. This would in my opinion allow the torch to be more viable in group play.

Cheers!

EDIT:

I didn’t mean that it doesn’t require the 3 second channel, I worded my self incorrectly. I mean that the 3 second channel you shouldn’t have to be in the field at the start it should just blast the field you are in.

I would prefer it to remain at the end when you break stealth, but there could be an active ability while stealthed that allows you to blast it any time, similar to Swap or Feign.
Edit: Just hit the button twice.

Actually what I think would be best since other blast finishers like Ele churning earth work this way.
Activate the prestige inside the combo field. If you exit the combo field the blast finisher still works. This again is how ele churning earth works. They blast inside the combo field and start churning earth then they can lightning flash out of it but still get the effects of the combo.

Curunen that idea sounds awesome, i would love this! To be able to detonate the blast like a temporal curtain would be amazing.
