Guild Wars 2

Except of the bug mentioned in the sticky Bug List, I’ve tested the spell regarding the teleport ability and I’ve noticed that it doesn’t actually teleport you, but something like pulling you. It gets obstructed by objects, walls etc. Also if you are in long range it teleports you in mid range or doesnt teleport you at all.

I’d like it if they made it spawn at your feet like an untraited well and turned it into a proper teleport like the Mesmer’s portal.

Indeed, this skill isn’t really a “teleport” (as it is mentioned in the skill description). Is it on purpose or simply a bug? I don’t know, but I hope it is made on purpose Such a skill can’t be that hard to fix for Anet pros ,D SARCASM

Well its easy to test and prove.
EB jumping puzzle in the dark room if you place it on the other side of those dragon heads that have knock down effects when you walk by, trigger the skill you will still get knocked down instead of being teleported to the target location.

I think instead of “fixing” they will just amend the skill description.

Yes, in it’s current form the worm teleport is not very good, especially when contrasted with the much better and much more fluid abilities other classes get like the mesmer portal or the thieves #5 on shortbow (I was going to add ele’s ride the lightning, but that’s really buggy too)

Necrotic Traversal only teleports you properly if you have a direct LOS to your worm, and if you are on an equal level. As the posters above mentioned, it seems to “drag” you, so if you hit anything along the way like a wall or a fence, that’s where you end up appearing

I tried making use of it for a little bit in sPvP, but for the price of a precious ability slot, the worm is not worth taking over stuff like Spectral Walk

Please also take note that it doesn’t work when trying to cross a chasm/hole/what-have-you. Test it on a jumping puzzle.
