Guild Wars 2

I read the change to Dragon’s Tooth where the blast finisher would trigger at the location of the spell, not of the caster. While this changes my play style a bit, it is a completely fair change.

That said, it is not working. If I stand on top of a mob and cast Ring of Fire then use Dragon’s Tooth, no area might is triggered. I also tried it with Fire Wall. Nothing.

I can’t speak about other combo fields, but at least the fire ones aren’t working.

I can confirm this

At a guess, this is how they’ll “fix” it:

Dragon’s Tooth: This skill’s description no longer references a Blast Finisher.

Next up:

“Tornado: Removed the unintended effect of being able to use the skill while underwater”
“Ride the Lightning: Changed the effect so that if no enemy is targeted, all other skills go on cooldown”
Or ultimately, “Elementalist: Class removed, why aren’t you playing a Warrior already?”.

Dragon’s Tooth seems to work with other combo fields other than fire. My brother used it inside of a light field and it created area retaliation. I hope the issue of Dragon’s Tooth not working properly is adressed in an upcoming patch. Too few skills posess combo finishers as it stands. To take them away from existing skills would make the game that much less interesting. I really feel there should be more combo finishers across the board for all classes. Certain weapon combinations on certain classes have absolutely no combo finishers and that makes for some boring gameplay.

According to the patch notes, yesterday’s patch fixed the bug that caused Dragon’s Tooth to not trigger any combos.

I have yet to test it.
