Guild Wars 2

Hello, I just wanted to give a suggestion to the spell Lightning Flash to make it a little easier to use.

As of now, you have to either hit the cast button, select an area where you want to teleport and click, or if you are using quick-cast, you move your cursor where you want to teleport and hit the cast button.

But the problem is the range, it’s pretty short and you probably want to get the most out of it and teleport as far as possible. I have the spell on quick-cast and I always slowly drag my mouse from afar, closer to me, so the spell activates when the cursor gets in about maximum range.

But if you’re facing downhill, you can’t even click there. So how about changing the spell a little: make it teleport as far as it can in the given direction IF the mouse cursor is out of range.

This doesn’t change the spell itself in anyway, it still has the same range, but it makes the spell a little easier to use.

As long as it doesn’t go over terrain, and cracks.

I think you can’t traverse any cliff-level differences with the current spell. You’re absolutely right, I wouldn’t change that at all. I just want to make the spell faster to use in combat.

I don’t know; I haven’t been able to use it at all lately, and that’s trying it on level ground, in range.

I’m assuming that the mesmer’s blink and like wise spells work the same way.
But yeah, this would be greatly appreciated, instead of getting the “out of range” message, just let us teleport the max possible distance in the direction we were casting it in. Or hell, some kind of range indicator would be nice (a circle around your character when you’ve selected the spell to be casted?)

The main reason I don’t use it is because it’s a hassle to target, so something like this would be really appreciated.

Could work like “Flash” does in League of Legends
IE: If you’re targeting further than the radius allows, then it just ports you in that direction, as far as the actual radius is.

This means, YOU don’t have to be 100% accurate with the radius and just “aim” where you’d like ta go

EDIT:: beyond the lightning flash, would like to see this “border” set up for all other spells.
