Guild Wars 2

I noticed earlier today as I was trying to detonate one bone within the poison field left by another I noticed that I didnt see any combo bubbles floating up. Nor did any when I stood in a water field with them an blew them up.

Anyone else noticing this? Is it just becuase of my minions dropping poison when they die?

The blast does work but positioning is important. Alot of times you need the fiends to be on top of each other to get it to combo off a minion poison field. On water and ether fields however I actually very rarely have a problem getting a combo off.

Do you get the combo bubble? Have you seen it working since last patch?

I’ve been experimenting with this a bit lately. It appears that the actual blast finisher from each bone minion occurs about 1 second after the minions visually explode, which I assume is a bug.
I’ve tested it with all our fields, well of blood will give you area retaliation, aoe blindness from our other wells works, and I can event get chaos armour from placing the spectral wall ontop of the minions and blowing them up (still tricky due to the size of the spectral wall).
This is probably why I’ve been thinking it hasn’t been working since you don’t get the effects until 1 second later. Also the little marker that shows a combo always shows up when I’m by myself. I think it wont appear if there are too many combos going off at the same time in the same area.

I just checked this, and while I’m not getting the combo indicator, I am getting the additional weakness from the blast finisher. In fact, I’m getting it from both of the minions separately, without needing to place the minion inside a pre-existing poison field before detonating it.

Edit:

Yeah, it’s been like this for a while. I believe I have it included in the bug list.

I can’t remember the exact rules for how it works, but when you combo with another person sometimes the indicator shows up at their location, rather than yours or the location of the field. So if someone is throwing combo fields / finishers and they’re off camera, you won’t see the indicator.
