Guild Wars 2

So I know there may be other things that take priority over this, but it’s still fun to dream. Currently, the only class with a group teleport mechanic is mesmer. I’ve been kind of frustrated by this multiple times, because I really like my engi and now with sneak gyro we can do almost anything. But when it comes to group porting, for example in jumping puzzle, the only option is Mesmer.
We don’t currently have any elite gadget skill, so I’d really love to see a teleporter introduced here. To be consistent with our Jack of all trades / master of none theme, it should be weaker than the Mesmer one; maybe limit it to 5 players? Have the endpoints be destructible? Anyway, I thought this would be a fun idea to put out there and see what types of options people come up with for such a skill. Discuss!

Mesmer portals are utility skills. If the engie gains a multi-people teleport gadget for the elite slot, I hope it is MORE useful than the mesmer’s one.

I think it could be really interesting to have a shorter cd duration teleport useable in combat. Make it one way only, and limited to line of sight, but able to transport up to 10 people, and linked to a projectile you have to land where you want to teleport.

I’ve been suggesting this for a while. It’s my dream skill.

Experimental Matter Relocator or whatever high tech name befitting the Engineer. Elite Gadget

Press your elite hotkey to place a teleportation pad at your location.
Press your elite hotkey again to dematerialize at your location and rematerialize at the warp pad.

• Breaks stun
• 1 second channel. Grants 1 Stability
• On successful rematerialization, teleportation pad detonates and stuns up to 5 targets for 2 sec in a 240 radius.
• TP pad can be destroyed. On death, pad stuns up to 5 targets for 2 sec in a 240 radius.
• 60 sec cooldown
• If Gadgeteer is active, removes channel time. Cooldown reduced to 45 seconds.

Toolbelt: Failed Experiment
It took many tries to perfect the EMR. Throw one of these failed teleportation pads to slow an area.

• 240 radius
• 4 pulses. Each pulse slows up to 5 targets for 1 second.
• 25 sec CD

I like this. Well thought-out. Having access to some slow from the toolbet would be nice. My only thing is that I’d really want to be able to share it (again, for some group utility). Maybe extend the channel a bit (2 or even 3 sec?) and allow allies to join you by pressing interact hotkey on you. Then instead of removing channel time, have gadgeteer grant evade during the channel (in addition to the standard 25% CD reduction)….
I love your idea as is from a PvP perspective, I’d just really like for Mesmer to not be the only option when it comes to group teleporting in, for example, a jumping puzzle (with chrono, Mesmer is already the only way to get alacrity, let’s share a little here :P engineer is no longer the only one with super speed…)

Maybe for the next elite spec… the Clockworker. Totally a steal on chronomancer, but w/e. Just kind of a steampunk version of time control/teleport skills. Specialized in mobility and maybe burst damage? Get main-hand focus, just to be weird? I digress.

Well you now kinda get your wish if you raid. Raid Wing 3 has a mesmer portal item for sale. Not sure if it is re-useable or not, though I would hope so based on the price.

I want our next elite to be built around portals.

It would be awesome. You could troll people by having a portal that drops them to their doom Muahaha! But seriously. Engi could do portals cool, breakup the Mesmer monopoly, AND even do portals in a way where Mesmer Portal still feels cool. (I don’t hate Mesmer. Mesmer is my second oldest proffession after Engi).

Lol. Engineer with targeted portal shadowsteps and sword focus: Void Leaper XD!!!

So blue portals (focus 4) port allies who interact with it, orange portals (focus 5) port (and damage? Slow? Confuse? Daze?) Enemies in a small aoe (80-140 radius). Both are chain skills, so you have to drop the destination first (this drops at current location to circumvent potential exploits), then gain access to chain skill, which is a ranged aoe (maybe 600-900 range?).
Blue portals are active for maybe 3 seconds (more traited?) And can be used any number of times. Orange portals collapse immediately after the second one impacts, so it hits, aoe teleport foes, then collapse with aoe effect going off at one or both of the exit and entrance portals.
This elite spec would definitely lend itself to getting “traps” as a new utility type…
