Guild Wars 2

Recently I started using a Scepter and Focus and I noticed strange behavior for the Fire Attunement skill, Dragon’s Tooth. The whole strategy of this weapon combination is to use the combo field for Fire Wall with a bunch of blast finishers to stack might on yourself and burning on your foes, but Dragon’s Tooth seems to activate its blast finisher the moment you cast it and not when it explodes.

You can try this yourself. Stand in the middle of a fire field, target an enemy outside of the field, and cast Dragon’s Tooth. You’ll see the Might heart from the blast finisher putting three stacks of might on you, while the actual tooth spawns far away and explodes completely apart from the combo.

This is a potential balance issue. I can get 12 stacks of might in a second using this method. It also ruins the skill’s ability to be a long range blast finisher, i.e. an enemy is engaged in some other effect field and you drop a Dragon’s Tooth on them, nothing will happen.
