Hi all
I am not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but it seems that Sigil of fire effect Flame Blast creates a mini combo field. I have been doing arcane blast after flame blast and I always get the 3 might stacks. It does not mention it on the wiki, but it i definitely creating a fire field. Anyone know about this?.
Basically with puromancers puissance, arcane trait might on fire and staff, If i do the sequence: earth #2, fire #2 and arcane blast, while next to an enemy sometimes I will end up with 9 and sometimes with 12 stacks. Looking at the damage log, the difference is flame blast, when next to the enemy and fire attunement triggers flame blast which is followed by fire #2 and arcane I end up with 12 stacks. Trying to find an explanation, so my conclusion is that fire blast is creating a combo field fire. i do no use any other skills while testing this.
Why are elementalist so weak?.
What? If that’s true, please tell the world boss to STOP chasing me around and focus on one of those “real” DPS types 8>

Could you please tell me more about your build?
That staff link, seems pretty good. I have never used blast finishers, and I do not know what fire fields and combos are to be honest. But I still have 13 stacks of might, ascended berserker gear (even weapon), and 30 30 10, I realize I might not be using the right skills or traits, but I am just wondering when you hit with fireball and lava font , what number do you see?, I see from 1.5 to 5K at most, is this normal?, or am I missing out on a lot of dmg from not using this blast finisher, combos etc?.
Thanks for the staff link I will check that out.
Well it is worth the try, I will look it up. Thanks.
Still it sounds like a gimmick, is this the only way for an ele to do the same dmg as the other classes in auto attack while having less hp and armor?.
Also a lot of fratal bosses can 1-2 shot an ele, so I am not so sure about a melee ele.
Lighting hammer and fgs?, is that the one with 240 second cool down, that from what I have read is melee attack while being super squishy and needs a lot of variables to hit hard?
I am aware might of stacks are important, and I have that GM trait that grants might on hit, as well as every other single trait that could increase dmg, including one where you do more dmg when hitting from far away.
I never have 25 stacks, but I do have 12-13 when hitting multiple targets, even then I have never seen above 6K, I doubt 12 more stacks would increase more than 2K for a total of 8K on a meteor shower. Worth noting with this staff build there is no way to stack 25 might stacks.
About the ranger, you are probably right, that is the only class I have not heard hits with auto attacks for at least 10K.
Hi all,
I have been playing my ele as my only char for quite a few hours now. I have always played a staff ele, while playing around in pve I always fell a little weak while completing my solo path to lvl 80. But I though I was just new to the game and had bad gear. But after reaching lvl 80, I started to play more, still I know I am a “casual” since I play maybe 5-8 hours a week max.
Anyway I started to explore all the traits, analyzed all the skills, and decided to spec for a glass cannon build. While I do not play gw 2 as much, keep in mind I played a ton of gw 1, and got to rank 10 in HoH, so I definitelly know how to play.
I decided to go 30 fire 30 light 10 earth, and got my exotic gear, and recently managed to get my ascended berserker staff, I already have ascended jewelry all berserker.
I always though hitting things in PvE for 3K, was a lot because well I was a glass cannon elementalist right?, the highest I have seen is 6k from meteor shower and this is full berserker Ascended gear and 30 30 10 stats.
But now reading the forums, i had no idea every other single class has higher armor and health and can hit for 20-50K, What the hell?!.
Why are elementalist so weak?.
Just wanted to update this, I did the Dragon again today, and got the 2 chests, and again 4 armors/weapons and 1 gemstone. Not sure if this is related to me not being lvl 80?, I am level 66 now.
Actually to be more precise this very very rarely happens in normal terrain, and seems to be more common on rocks/flowers on shallow water, and even then it is very rare. Not sure if this are just minor issues with game engine or drivers.
Hello,
I am noticing flowers and small rocks sometimes disappear as I approach them, and then depending on the camera angle reappear, this is not common at all, but it does happen from time to time.
I am running a HD 7850 with 13.4 WHQL drivers (latest), while this drivers seem to be fixing a lot of the texture flickering issues with direct 9.0c and 7000 series cards, I think it might have an issue with this flowers/rocks, is anyone else having the same issues?. I am not entirely sure if this happened with the previous drivers to be honest, since I had not played Guild Wars 2 in a long while.
This never happens with large objects though, only small objects (about the size of character’s arm or less).
Thinking it might be game related too.
Thank you everyone that clears it up, to be honest I am not sure if the items ended up in my inventory or not, I had some other items from previous fights, so not sure if this happened. But thank you for this information, I’ll look at my inventory after I open a chest now knowing this.
Hello,
I used to be hardcore Guild Wars 1 player, but due to greatly increased responsibilities I am now a “casual” and enjoying the game =).
Anyway my only char killed a dragon for the first time, it was an intense battle!, first one I see (I am lvl 63), the group killed Tequatl the Sunless, I didn’t even know there was a chest and a bonus chest, but I noticed everyone running toward and chest and got 1 blue, 3 greens and 1 rare from the bonus chest I am quite happy with my reward.
However I looked up dragon chest on wiki (since I didn’t even know about their existence) and it says it should drop 5 random pieces of equipment and 2 random gemstones?, Why did I only get 4 random pieces and 1 random gemstone?. Just curious so I know next time.
Thank you,
Oscar
