Have you ever noticed that all of the dungeon merchants are wearing a set of their respective armors. Well, except the merchant for Twilight Arbor.

My email account has become a wee bit compromised and is under constant phishing attack, so I deleted it. Now I am going through all my accounts to change the contact email to my new address. However, in my GW2 account management there seems to be no option for updating my email.

Q: How can I update my email contact information for Guild Wars 2?

Has anyone ever made a conscience effort to use combo fields in a group setting. Like, letting a warrior know your about to drop a fire field then they let loose their finishers?

@Sleepcoma: Yeah, dagger f4 lasts for 6 seconds. This plays into why I choose to use the focus off hand to generate the fire field for two reasons, time and ease. Flame wall lasts for 8 seconds, which makes it much easier to fit everything in. Second, flame wall is much nicer to wield and then use. When using Ring of Fire, I have to place the field then back up, then ‘roll’ into the field for earth’s evasive arcana blast finisher. Flame wall I dont have that problem.

Also, about sigils. I use intelligence for the 100% crit chance and force for the flat dmg bonus. But this brings up another question, do on wep swaps all work together? In other words, would have both battle and intelligence and swapping give both the 100% crit chance AND the three stacks of might?

I have been playing a ele for a bit and have nailed down a couple sequences or ‘rotations’ that allow me to maximize my own combo fields. I wanted to create a post where people can share what they have discovered or even learn a little. Most of these I have set up to stack might, since I go all out for boon duration (+70%).

combo fields: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Combo

I’ll be using abbreviations for each attunement (e.g. fire #3 weapon skill = f3, or switching attunement into fire = saf).

d/d: Open with f3, get some dmg done with f2 into f5 (which can hit like a truck) and then start the might stacking. f4 > sae > earth evasive arcana for blast in field > e4 > arcane wave > e5. Its about 50% of the time that I am quick enough to get earth 5 finisher in there too, but this gives about 12 stacks of might. Air is open for any control you need to lay down, and water for recovery.

s/f: (my favorite!) f4 > f2 > f3 > sae > earth evasive arcana > arcane wave > e4… for a whopping 15 stacks of might. I prefer this setup since focus provides tones of nice survivability in PVE.

s/d: I really dont prefer to play with this setup, but i imagine the ‘rotation’ would be similar.

staff: I dont always staff, but when I do staff I prefer to blast into water fields and heal everyone. It looks a little like… e2 > saw> w3 > w5 > evasive arcana water > arcane wave, which usually tops anyone off. Remember to place the w3 on top of the e2. I have been told several times that the amount of support I can provide lets people play a little more ‘fast and loose’ to pump out more dmg.

I’m kind of excited to see what other ‘sequences’ or ‘rotations’ other people have come up with!
