Maguuma Mastery Orb
You don’t even need the hammer skill – just jumping into the wall and hitting F at the top of the jump can work too.
Yeah, I did the same thing using phase smash. I tried jumping, but I must’ve have been a little off.
However, this is very important to note. If the revenant can interact with things during the phase smash animation, they can use it to interact with distant objects without actually being at those objects. This could allow them to access skill points, open chests, and possibly do things like repair walls and operate siege equipment while standing very far away from said interactables.
It will require further testing though (obviously no one was in WvW with this). However, I’m quite certain there will be some potentially game breaking things that could arise from this method of distant interaction.
As far as that mastery point goes, I assume that they left out a piece of the ledge, or the actual intent is that you’re supposed to descend from above that area somehow. There was another mastery orb that was on an high cliff, so I could see them wanting you to either use some other kind of mastery or to fly down from above somehow.
I was annoyed and disappointed with this particular mastery orb as I viewed obtaining it being gimmick rather than skill. I have no problem with reaching it being a difficult climb with a small footfall to interact with to reach it. Having to use a weapon or utility skill to ‘sort of’ reach it makes attaining it, imho, a ‘gimmick’ and not a ‘mastery’ of anything.
I jumped and hit F for that one. It is a bit odd that you don’t need a mastery ability to get there.
Once you get the glider unlocked you can go to the waypoint in the demo and glide to another one, and that really does need a mastery ability.
