Guild Wars 2

Does anyone else find that the teleport mechanic in these skills fails to work sometimes?

And it always fails to work if there is something to teleport round, or if you are teleporting on to or from a ledge. Such as teleporting on and off a fence (or a wall). In WvW, those bridges outside of supply camps (in the borderlands on the west/east sides), it’s possible to teleport on to the bridge, and possibly off, which is great, but there are many other circumstances which are more familiar (such as a wall). And then when you try and teleport, you just stay in the same place.

It’s very frustrating. Anyone else find this? I found the same when using blink as a mesmer. It shouldn’t be called teleport if it acts like a shadowstep.

The teleport only works if you have a target, and if you have a clear path to that target, in my experience.

If you have nothing targeted it will do the flame blast in place, and if there’s an obstruction between you and your target, it will stop at the obstruction and do the flame blast there.

Jump first, and teleport out of midair. This will give you a clearer line of sight to your target (avoiding rocks and other snags along your path). I’ve found it solves 90% of the failed teleports that I used to have. Can’t speak for Merciful though, I only use Judges.
