portal use in tpvp
Portal is primarily a way to reallocate man power quickly so you can use it to hedge your bets i.e. drop a portal at home, and go mid to secure the cap. If the home bunker is getting overwhelmed, you can activate portal and quickly come to his aid. It is also useful for Lord rushes in Foefire, Treb repair and destruction in Kylo, and nailing key channels in TSS. If your F4 shatter is on CD and you really need to secure a stomp, you can use portal to stomp. You can also use portal creatively to get out of bad situations and juke the enemy.
In otherwords, no. No one’s gone to the trouble of making a tutorial.
Biggest hurdle? Examples come in short bursts every 130 seconds, if they come at all :p
Taking portal means you trade in the ability to do some cool tricks for an utility that overall would help you much more during the match (or the other way around actually… but whatever; I ain’t no native english speaker :P). Now if you are playing with a coordinated team that knows how to support eachother and take advantage of eachothers capabilities, this might be worth it. But if that’s not the case, you’d benefit much more from taking something else. At least that’s my opinion on the matter.
portal use is an art that I have not mastered , my advice is to ask the mesmers like Johnny the gray who runs that trait all the time. Very effective if you do it right imo.
