IGN: Devs' Top 9 Skill Combos (2012-1-28)

[Ruse]

From a few days ago. I remember talking about it with some RL friends but I can't seem to find it posted here...if it is, please point me in the right direction. P:

In a nutshell, the Combo system allows the combination of two different abilities to result in a new or different effect – like how ice cream and hot fudge results in a hot fudge sundae. Except in Guild Wars 2, the sundae would also explode into daggers or something.

It's a system that is really central to group combat, yet very few specifics are known. We asked the developers at ArenaNet what their favorite combos were. Here's nine of 'em.

And my personal favorite....

Frozen Ground + Eruption = Stay Frosty
Professions: Elementalist
"All you need is one elementalist for my favorite protective combo. Cast Eruption first, then attune to water and cast Frozen Ground. When the Eruption Bursts, damaging your foes, an Ice Field spreads over the area to apply a protective Frost Aura to you and your allies. I wish I could do this in real life on hot days."
-Karl McLain, QA Tester

Full list is here.

Ah, OK. I could have sworn I originally saw it on these forums but then I couldn't find it when I went back to show it to someone else, lol.

No problem at all. This is definitely easier to find
