Guild Wars 2

Starting in the engineer forums I made a thread about this

Tigger.8035:

I don’t think many people have even payed attention to the combo aspect of the game, Or even considered building for it when partying with other players

A Field is an area generated by an AoE skill where combo’s are produced when Finishers are used on top of them.

These combinations create a… combo, and different comboes do differen’t things.

So the point of this thread is for people to discuss:

More so builds, and what combo’s exist in their builds.

For me….

my build consists of:

Rifle

Bomb Kit, Grenades, Elixir U, and Supply crate.

Combos available to me include

Fields:

Fire Field From bomb kit

Poison Field Finisher from Grenade Kit

Smoke Field Smoke Bomb

Finishers

Blast:

Big Ol’ Bomb

Supply Crate

Leap:

Jump Shot

Projectile:

Hip Shot

Whirl

N/A

In similar format I’ll be doing the same thing for thieves.

My build consists of

Sword + Pistol and Dual Pistols

Fields available to me include

Ethereal (throw junk from stolen skills)

Poison (Exploding venom sack from stolen skills)

Finishers for me Include

Projectile: Unload, Vital Shot, Head shot, Body Shot

Stolen: Insert Throw item

Whirl: Whirling Axe Stolen

I always think about combo fields… Its one of the most important parts of playing the thief as you have ALL OF THE FINISHERS AND CAN USE THEM WHENEVER YOU WANT

Also you missed the darkness field from off hand pistol.
And you chose the 2 weapon sets that have the least combos.

Smoke field (offhand pistol) + leap (dagger main) = stealth. Combined with whirl (elite skill or dagger/dagger) or projectile = blind. Combined with explosion (shortbow) = AoE stealth.

Poison Field (shortbow) + Leap or explosion = weakness. Combined with whirl or projectile = poison.

Shadow refuge gives dark field, with whirl or projectile = lifesteal (very good to use as an extra heal with elite skill) or for leap and blast you get blind/AoE blind

They are all things you can combo without help

yeah my thief is running the Norn racial elite Snow leopard gimmick. It’s meant to abuse stealth and crit
