Guild Wars 2

so i just saw some mesmer gameplay, and took my mesmer off dust (didnt play it for 2 months or so) and while playing it and stomping players i noticed, i dont manage portalstomps anymore…

the cd between entering portals seems to be longer than it used to be-

so the situation : i have somewhere a portal placed.. i go to a downed enemy, cast portal first, 0.5 s later i tap stomp, then go into portal right away (thats why i wait 0.5 s before stomp, so the portal is up ) then i can get back to the downed guy anymore due to portal needing longer than the stomp animation to get off cooldown (i mean the teleport of portal thingy, the 2-4 s waiting time b4 beeing able to enter portal)

anyone else noticed it? is it just me? can someone verify this?

Quite possibly, and also the portal activation when you’re standing on it bugging and not coming up at all. It’s probably all related.

There is definitely a noticeable gap until the portal is active again. I wasn’t sure if it was a time thing or if I had to move my character a bit to find the activation site. Might have been added because twitchy fingers were burning through the 20 uses too much.

i mean, there has always been a 1-2 s gap between portal uses (unless it bugged and double ported u), but the gap between uses seems to have increased

I was actually going to post something about that a while ago. Portal stomps are still possible, but the timing has changed (unless both of us are going crazy). Wait an extra 1/4-1/2 second before the stomp.

well k, confirmed, its longer cd between uses

also tested, w near perfect or even perfect timing u still can portal stomp, might go wrong tho if u r rly panicing, so try to stay calm when u portalstomp:p

Use portal – wait 1 beat (its slightly less than 3/4 second I think) – spam the interact key.

Still works but you do need to wait before starting the stomp.
