Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, not sure if this is a known thing but it is the first time I ever tried and is kinda cool. I was in WvW today and was about to run into a zerg so I hit spectral walk to run away then ported to the home waypoint. When I got there, I saw that my spectal walk was still up so I hit spectral recall just to see what would happen and I teleported across the map to my original point!

Not sure how much utility this would actually have, but was kind of cool

It has some uses…. like porting supply from the keep back to any random point on the map. Frankly I never really do it, but that is about it… and some surprising looks-like-the-necro-used-stealth tricks.

Surely it is a bug…. I am pretty sure the thief sword version worked the same way and it got fixed. I would guess this isn’t a big enough problem for them to fiddle with.

Yeah, I have been trying to think of a way that it could give a huge advantage and cant think of one. The supply port thing is something I hadn’t though of. I guess you could use it in a keep to “trick” opponents into thinking that you ported then recall back but it wouldn’t do much good to have one necro in a keep alone. Another possibility would be to lure an enemy, port then port back and catch them off guard but that is so situational and rare that I cant see them wasting time fixing it.

I tried it a few times… since the walk is only a short duration anyhow… normally they just stand around and wait for you to come back because the green trail is still there lol.

If it lasted longer then I could see it being maybe(?) useful in doing some ninja moves, but thats it.

I think Spectral Walk is the coolest spell the Necromancer has; allows us to survive jumps off of cliffs, allows us to undo mistakes in jumping puzzles, etc. Using it after waypointing is just another cool feature of it.

I used to use it a long time ago to carry supply, but I dropped it a while back. It could be a fun way to avoid being ganked by two thieves/a zerg though. I just hope they have a short enough attention span to move along while I’m loading.
