Guild Wars 2

Just did some quick test. lol

Awesome…hope this is the same for mesmers (yes i know you have to trait blink to have same port places as thieves on some maps )….

Seems like they just made porting more reliable rather than nerfing the port positions.

Also…if you cant port/fail to port to a place, does it still use the skill and place it on cd? Thats what i read in patch notes (this is a HUGE buff) You probably dont play mesmer…but im still downloading patch

If a chosen point is illegal for a port, you just get a message like “no path available to position” and the skill isn’t used, meaning no CD. I very much like this.

This is actually a buff to porting! Especially in Forest of Niflhel, no more rangers camping up top w/o having any melee pressure.

Yeh someone else confirmed this too…thanks……amazing change…hate failing a blink in a clutch situation because the port spot is a tricky one and find im facing a wall instead and my blink going on cd.

This should have ALWAYS been the intended scenario but then again..im just happy they have sorted it.

No, this is literally one of the worst changes, you just literally can’t kill a staff mesmer or a thief on keep unless you are a mesmer or a thief..it’s ridiculous.

Actually mesmer blink is bugged with trait, and goes on full CD regardless. But nice new port spots, yes.

Yep, tried the ports and mesmer blink is still unchanged when traited for distance. Will show as if possible port, go on full cooldown and only teleport you 2 steps forward because it cannot path. Frustrating. But you can now port easily on mid point ledges of forest.
