Guild Wars 2

Ok I have the feeling that this skills exact mechanic will be one of the biggest arguments if staff will see sPvP use or not. Does it teleport?

It is a ground targeted mobility skill similiar to the existing teleports (thief shortbow, mesmer blink, ele teleport) but you still kind of travel to the are even if transformed to some flying whisp thing. Will this allow me to port to edges like for example on clock tower, keep or the walls near the center of foefire? The wording says you “traverse” to the target location.

Imagine a LB power spec being able to do that. This WOULD be viable even if it is the only thing it does.

Was the 1st thing I was thinking about but I haven’t found any proof or further demonstration.

It would indeed be nice to have that porting mechanic. Longbow lovers would definitely feel reborn.

Ye I actually also think longbow is one of the easiest weapons to fill the astral power bar with barrage/rapid fire beside filling it with healing via staff itself. A full barrage on 5 targets is 60 instances of damage.

Once it is full you have an incredible full condi clear into massive healing into AoE stealth + Super Speed.

I knew I wasn’t the only one who thought of this.

It’s not a teleport. Teleport changes the position of the character instantly. It looks like a movement skill such as Mist Form.

I hope it makes you evade for the duration, but it doesn’t say so.

You cannot say that for certain imo. Mist form doesn’t use a targetting mechanic so it could be completely different. I would rather say it is similiar to ride the lightning but that one isn’t ground targeted either. Consider that for thiefs SB 5 he also fires his arrow first and the teleport happens afterwards to where it hits. It completely depends how they programmed the skill so it would be nice to get an official answer here but otherwise we will see in one week I guess.

I think a better skill to compare it to would be the Dragonhunter’s F2 skill called Wings of Resolve.

It’s unlikely a teleport because teleport skills have a teleport icon on the tooltip. Unfortunately, this ability doesn’t have one so is unlikely to be a teleport.

Not exactly about the dash component, but could this skill grant Vigor to allies? I want it to have a little synergy with the Nature magic line, like it should.

I feel like it works like that one zephyrite dash- Lightning is it?
