Guild Wars 2

So it doesn’t say in the tool tip, but the 5th staff skill is actually a water field. That means you can use the blast finisher of staff #3 on top of it for AoE healing. Not sure if this is intended or just missing tool tip text, but it adds a little more synergy between the weapon’s skills.

I thought this skill was quite underwhelming until you said this. if it keeps its water field, it would indeed be a very strong skill =)

interesting, yeah because it doesnt say,.

Can you confirm that it is actually a blast and not just the healing from the skill itself? Been curious about whether it really is a blast.

They showed this on their druid reveal stream, a “portable” water field. Strange it doesn’t show in the tooltip, such a strong skill when used right.

Great, Thanks much.

just tested, seems to be a water field. hope it stays this way

That would actually make staff quite a bit better. Hope it stays.

staff #5 —> staff #3, WH #5 on top of it. it’s neat.

Interesting. Having a water field on staff will offer some neat combos between staff, our pets, and other weapons.

A druid with the fire wyvern and Healing Spring could already be packing a fire field and two water fields. Add in a torch off hand and that’s two fire fields. Sword is gonna have a lot of fields to play in.

I think you’re confusing this with avatar’s #4 skill, which is indeed a portable water field. However, that one you can’t blast yourself, since it’s a channeled ability.

Ah, you’re right, my bad.

I was disappointed to find out you couldn’t combo blast Avatar#4 with #3. Makes sense to have a water field on at least one staff ability.

Just having a blast finisher on staff 3 is pretty nice, finding out there’s a water field on 5 is even nicer!

Celestial avatar #3 is supposed to be a blast finisher too, but currently doesn’t work.

You can blast it with Clarion Bond though, actually. Something to keep in mind.
