Portal Counter? Anyone got one?
There’s truly no counter to portal, which is why it’s such a big issue. It just gives way too much utility.
-Leaving portal on back-point and only portaling back if it becomes contested
-Treb repair lameness
-Moving large forces (and professions with low mobility) cross map (and back) in an instant
It just doesn’t belong in a territory based game when no other class has anything to counter/compete with it in the first place. The entire skill should just be scrapped.
Edit – Notice how I said nothing about it being impossible to win against, but it does give a significant advantage with a coordinated team.
Kill everything that comes out, hehe.
Maybe a good thing would be to add health to the portal, that way it can be destroyed.
Every person makes error’s, all that matter’s is how they fix them.

I was going to said that… lol
Adding health to the portal doesn’t solve the problem. Sure, it might make it easier to deal with, but it won’t stop every competitive team from using a mesmer for that sole purpose.
whats the issue with portalling to repair treb? if you kill the treb and he drops a portal and runs off just stay there and wait. He’s not doing anything and neither are you so you still have an even 4v4 going on elsewhere.
just make 1 treb repair max per game or add a long timer to repair pops.

Because they can put any garbage player on a mesmer to just keep your best player occupied at trebuchet. That’s why.

Well sure, if it really was that simple, but that’s not what happens. He might respawn, drop his portal, go help teammates neut/cap a point or two, grab the kit, take the portal, bam you have at least 5+ free treb hits while the other team tries to get someone to treb to stop him.
The fact is it’s actually more effective if the mesmer is not SOLELY using/repairing the treb all the time. Portal is the only way to have that kind of mobility.
Easy fix:
- You cant cross a portal with a repair kit.
-When you cross a portal it stacks on you 25 stacks of vulnerability and 25 confussion stacks for 10 seconds.
That will prevent to put portals directly on nodes.
