Guild Wars 2

I like the idea of Mesmers being able to provide super speed and resistance with Glamour abilities as they’re group oriented.

But one thing I’ve noticed with Temporal Enchanter is that when you use a Glamour ability, it triggers TE in a short radius around it. It looks to have a 240 unit range from what I can tell. That’s fine and all but not when you need to drop Veil for a group and no one is able to gain the benefits of TE.

Suggested change:
Make TE trigger when you cross over the Glamour ability.

I’d prefer if they simply changed Portal and Veil to proc when passed through.

Right now, Medic’s Feedback, Null Field and Time Warp work exactly the way they should in terms of Temporal Enchantment.

I like the on-cast version because it gives control of the skill to the mesmer. It’s your responsibility to aim properly and your reward when it works out, not another “hey, why won’t you guys stand in my purple bubbles?”

Portal is nice as an instant-cast self buff, assuming “pass through” means either using the portal or walking into range it wouldn’t work as quickly anymore. Also probably bad in wvw, because it seems they can’t implement a target cap for “pass through” procs.

Veil I feel has simply become a troublesome skill overall, and could probably do with a full rework at some point. Its stealth is garbage for small groups, the combo field is a bad type and hard to hit, it’s not round like the other glamours and now this trait goes against its “intended” functionality of “run through wall”.

Of course most “solutions” would either require a dumb lockout like curtain swiftness, or would allow ridiculous stacking of Resistance via Veil/Portal. Like jumping through either one 10×...
