Guild Wars 2

I still find this skill completely useless. If you could teleport to a target ally (mirroring judges intervention, teleporting to a foe) then it would be a great skill. Otherwise, teleporting to a seemingly random ally (since if you knew where you were teleporting to, the skill might as well be teleport to a target ally).

What do people think? Does anyone actually use it? The healing is pathetic and if you are using it to get away from combat, you will have to have no allies near you. It’s just….useless

I use it for lupi. P3 it’ll tele you out of his death dome. It good when you’re out of dodges, aegis, etc. otherwise, I never use the skill.

yeah i use the skill to dodge out of certain aoe attacks. i never use it for the heal.

Its good for laughs and teleports me to some random spots.

I’d like it a lot more if we could trait it to be ground targeted. That’d be possible right now if instead of a Meditation it was a Consecration, but fat chance of that.

No way ground targeting would work – you’d be able to use to reach inaccessible map areas – even flashing blade and JI won’t allow that.

Well, mesmer and eles have ground-targeted teleports, so that wouldn’t be a problem.

The teleport mechanic doesn’t allow for things like that. You can only teleport to a target foe (using judges intervention) if you are able to walk there without jumping. This means you can teleport on to bridges in WvW from below, but you cannot teleport to keep walls (but I have not tested if it’s possible to teleport if one of the walls has been taken down).

The mesmer skill blink behaves in exactly the same way.

If merciful intervention was to teleport you to a target ally, it would be an extremely useful skill. I’ve had judges intervention on my bar since lvl 10, rarely taking it off, since it’s just so useful.

Pointless thread, we are saying this to ANet since day one, they will ignore this thread as they ignored others.

ANet just don’t care about it.

That’s not true. It’s just not really a big issue.

Because of the fact it heals for so little and it is random with who it targets it is hardly reliable in any situation, and on top of that the recharge is 80 seconds. It’s undeniably horrible and in dire need of fixing or being changed. There is absolutely no reason why it shouldn’t have been changed or tweaked by now at all. Even giving it ground targeting would do wonders for it, which is such a simple change.
