I’ve thought a bit about this skill and I came to the point to ask what happens if you pass the same wall twice? Will it lower your cooldown twice? It could be, right?

3 possible ways to do so:

  1. the blink way (easy)
    step 1: Cast tides of time
    step 2: run after your tides of time
    step 3: catch it as soon as it starts returning
    step 4: blink to a spot where it will pass through
  2. the phase retreat way (medium)
    step 1: cast tides of time
    step 2: run after your tides of time
    step 3: catch it as soon as it starts returning
    step 4: swap weapons
    step 5: phase retreat to a spot where it will pass through
  3. the illusionary leap way (hard)
    step 1: cast tides of time
    step 2: run after your tides of time
    step 3: cast illusionary leap on an enemy (make sure that you are between your wall and the enemy)
    step 4: catch it as soon as it starts returning
    step 5: swap to reach the spot where your tides of time will pass through

I guess it’s possible with portal as well but I like the ones with phase retreat and iLeap more, they are more skill based and do not require to burn a utility.

Robert Gee showed an example using F5 to go through the return wall twice during the video

Edit: and indeed it lowers the cooldown twice

Wait. I wonder what it does if I walk through the SAME wall twice :P

I’ve been wondering this as well. I think probably the most reliable way to do it would be iLeap → ToT → swap.

I don’t think they have a counter to see how many times you catched a single wall and to prevent you from getting it twice…

It would also be interesting to see if other mesmers’ Wall affects your cooldown.

True. This would make Fays Mesmer WvW set up insanely strong.

Doesn’t the wall dissapear when you catch it? I swear it did in the video.

No, it kept on going.

It shouldn’t. If it did, that would be hilariously broken.
