Guild Wars 2

Hello there, I would like to bring your attention to our ability called spectral wall. My experience brings me to think that it’s combo field effect is either bugged, or works in a weird way.

So now lets get to my observations.

First I would like to state my experience with projectile finishers through spectral wall.

The projectile finishers that a necromancer has are: Staff autoattack(#1 with a chance of 20%), Bone fiend and Flesh Wurm both having a 100% projectile finishers since they proc the poison effect off of corrosive poison cloud every time they fire(I’ve just tested it a few seconds ago).

When my minions start firing through spectral wall though, the thing that usually happens is that they proc the confusion once and then never after, only rarely do I get them to proc it twice or 3 times if I am lucky. Why is this? They have a 100% projectile finisher, does the ethereal field of the wall have some kind of hidden combo chance?
So as a result both the staff and minions seem to get the proc 1 or 2 times and then the confusion effect barely ever happens.

Note that me and my minions are always stationary during these tests and the results are never the same and completely random even though the minions have a reliable 100% projectile finisher.

Now for blast finishers. I have used the putrid mark, blowing up minions and necrotic traversal from the flesh wurm.

The results are never reliable and are random most of the time. I’ve had situations where the chaos armor effect triggers when the blast was WAY outside the wall. Then I get a lot of times when I trigger blasts inside the wall and don’t get the chaos armor effect. It seems to be totally random each time. I cannot really describe the specifics for every situation I tried but the main thing is that reproducing it in the same situation a lot of times tends to give different results. Please check it out for yourselves. I surely hope this is not intended.
