Guild Wars 2

Some friends and I were doing some testing with whirl combos. Our setup was as follows: One staff ele for the 100% projectile finisher on earth auto attack and a guardian with mace-2 (light field) and greatsword-2 (whirl finisher) in one team and a thief with shortbow-4 for the poison condition in the other team (empty sPvP arena).
The thief stacked poison on the ele and the guardian. We let the poison field vanish, no condition-removes traited or slotted. Then i put the light field down and finished it with the GS-2 whirl finisher. The thief was out of range, the UI showed the combo effect “cleansing bolt” multiple times, but neither me nor my team mate, who’s been hit by a visible bolt, got the poison condition removed. Some tries later the thief wakitten by the whirl and a condition was removed from me, but the ele standing right next to me still was poisoned. This is somewhat strange, but might be intended?

We then switched to projectile finishers: Poison was stacked on is. I put down the light field again , and the ele targetted his “Stoning” on the enemy thief through it. I saw the “Remove condition” visual from his combos, but no condition was removed from any of us. After some trys with other conditions like bleeding, still no success. We tried again, this time with me standing in front of the enemy and in line with the projectile. We guessed it could remove a condition from allies pierced by the projectile, but several attempts did not show any effect.

There was no effect for the Light field + Projectile finisher other than the visual indicator for the player laying down the field and the player finishing it. If this should be no bug, please clarify how this combo is intended to work, as we could not get it to have any of the effects described in the Wiki (besides the UI notification).

Thanks in advance!

I’ve tried for a long time to get this to work, but with no results. Thanks for posting it, hopefully it will get noticed.
