Guild Wars 2

While this is mostly an issue in WvW. Nothing says “haha, bet you wish you were a mesmer right now” than having to defend something against a large group of enemies who keep going back through a portal to heal to full because they have 1-2 mesmers with them.

There isnt any explaination as to why this is obnoxious since only 1 of the 8 classes can do it.

No. It makes no sense for the portal to be destroyable. The whole intent of the portal is for your friends (team) to have the ability to be in one are and then port to another.

Basically, it’s working as intended.

I don’t think you understand how portal works.

They have already stated that they will be changing something about Portal and that we should expect that change within the next few weeks. I haven’t done WvW with my mesmer yet, but I do like how I can help people with jumping stuffs in PvE. Hopefully they won’t change it and make it only viable for flat fields with no obstacles..

Don’t worry they will nerf it leaving only Time Warp and feedback to gimmick around in for awhile before we all get bored and go play as a class that they finished.

Qelris, if they EVER do that, I think I will really, really hate ANet.

I hope they only change Portal for PvP. Because it’s easily one of my top 10 reasons why I love my mesmer right now.

Personally I suspect you need LoS between both portal spots. That’d ruin it for jumping puzzles sadly, which is the lion share of where I use them right now.

This is horrible! Mesmer Portal ability is FINE. Just because there are idiots that look at a mesmer portal inside a keep and walk away doesn’t mean that you eliminate this viable strategy!

The portal ability is already BORDERLINE USELESS except for the fact that it has unlimited z access and can move big groups.

What is the point to portal if you can only move 5 members 5 feet in front of you?

The only reason I rolled mesmer was because of the Portal ability and it’s creative uses. If you are kittening the hell out of it, what’s the point?

OH? AN ENEMY PUT DOWN A MESMER PORTAL INSIDE THE KEEP? HMMM MAYBE WE SHOULD PUT UP A DEFENSE!!!!!

I hope they don’t change it. I made a Mesmer based on seeing portals in the pre-release videos and it is the most fun spell I have ever used in any game. So far, I have only used it in pve.
