Guild Wars 2

Is it just me or…?

I was playing in the Heart of the Mysts, trying out characters, and these two character’s combos didn’t seem to be working?

Ranger: Axe/Torch (Fire)
Necromancer: Staff/Wells (Dark)

In the case of the Ranger, the heart appears stating “Burning” but no burning is applied. (Only with the Torch’s fire field 5 attack + 1-2 on the axe, Every other fire field + axes seemed to work correctly)

In the case of the Necromancer, upon placing the well, the staff’s basic attack just like the Ranger’s Axe created hearts stating “Lifesteal” however no HP was added to my damaged healthbar (from jumping off of a tall tower near the training golems) like I assume lifesteal is supposed to do. Please note, when the heart with “Lifesteal” would appear, no green numbers symbolizing health regained appeared either?

Am I wrong on this? Does anyone else notice the same issue? Every other combo field works properly that I’ve seen. I know howto use combos?

Have you tried this on other targets? I only tried the Axe/Torch and found that it did NOT work on the golems or the chieftain but it worked as expected on the Svanir.
