Please don't make [Frozen Burst] create an ice field

[kapenike.6793]

Update: i'm referring to the upcoming changes to release on 6/25

Not entirely sure the idea behind this but PLEASE ... please please please do not make water dagger 3 create an icefield! PLEASE!!! Let us choose what fields we blast. Please. It already chills, and now i cant blast a previous field placed down by my catalyst or blast my water field for more healing.

Please don't make frozen burst create an ice field

 

 

 

..... please

If you place a fire field first, then go into water and use frozen burst you still blast the fire field. Read up on how combo fields + finishers work.

@Chyro.1462 i'm referring to the upcoming change that will create an icefield right before blasting .... "Frozen Burst: This skill now creates an ice field before performing its blast finisher."

Right but finishers prioritize your field then oldest field. As long as your fire field is still up you'll blast that even though you just made an ice field. If you're blasting in someone elses field then yeah you'll get the ice blast.

@luigrein.8514 im confused ... it will ever only blast the ice field because it will always be the most recently placed field

combo fields prioritize your earliest field. So put down water, then blast with frozen burst. Even though there's an ice field, your water field was there first and you should get blast healing.

 

The ice field is really only there for when you have no fields at all.

@fuzzyp.6295 holy.... Has it always been like that?? I'm dumb

You're only dumb if you fail to learn. Now you have a new ace to approaching combat in this game. 👍

This is how it's supposed to work but for some reason I can't get it *to* work. The kitten thing won't blast my warhorn water field no matter how many times I drop it immediately and then hit frozen burst, lol.

After trying old dagger dagger ele (catalyst)  in wvw, main hand dagger finally feels like the old times (2012 - 2014) 

After so many years I'm happy with the buffs.

Now we only need the old range from air dagger 1 and the buffed lightning flash 😉

 

[Over.2137]

Skill is clearly bugged, sometimes you blast frost aura even if you are inside a previously dropped field

Happens a lot with DeployJadeSphere Fire -> Frozen Burst

 

EDIT: Seems like fields dropped with weapons skills take priority over fields from jadesphere?

Can confirm that field priority order is buggy.  Overload fire works well. I get to thinking it’s whichever field you are perfectly centered over.  It’s near impossible to get water globe to be the combo field it blasts.

Well at least I'm not going crazy. Tbh the 'buff' is kind of a downgrade if you can't pick the field you're blasting, imo. Hopefully they fix the bug soon

Yup, it's either bugged or... I'm not sure. Considering they also added Convergence as a blast finisher, this current interaction may be intended ?

Kind of a bummer if you ask me. Sorry if my post caused any confusion OP, I swear that's how it's supposed to work 😆

[bluberblasen.9684]

Can confirm too, it's bugged.

Its a random skill now. ( 50% it fails)

It should be trigger the first field and when no other field is there it should trigger itself (area frost aura)

Now sometimes it triggers the first field, sometimes it triggers frost aura and sometimes it does nothing

 

[PilzorStyleZ.8301]

The blast triggers around the target instead of the player

I thought i mt takes the oldest field, regardless of who places it. So if somebody else places a fire field i would blast that one.

you sure about the „only your own field“ thing? Happy to learn that „new“ thing (at least new for me)

The priority as far as I'm aware is own fields (from oldest to newest) > partymember/subsquad fields (from oldest to newest) > squad player fields (from oldest to newest). Your own fields always get priority over others, and the older fields priority over newer fields. At least when it works as intended.

Okay huh… this is really possible. I wasn’t aware of that too, just thought it’s „oldest field“ always. Thanks.

 

PS: i think blasting an icefield is overall a nice buff. You can blast other stuff still but with d/d you get an additional frost aura that you can transmute then.
