Guild Wars 2

In WvW at the moment is all about Mesmer Portals, and who has the most numbers to channel true.

I don’t find it that skilled nor much thrilling now that the novelty weared off.

That said, to my knowledge, is the only Skill that doesn’t adher to the holy 5 restriction of Area of Effect spells (yes it is an Area Of Effect skill after all).

This spell shoud be a group utility spell not a mass utility spell in my opinion and limited to 5 people (Mesmer included ofc).

It is fair how it is….

There should be zerg and siege busting mechanics.

Portals are fine as they are, they have been nerfed in the last patch, they don’t need another.

Portals don’t need to be messed with, the limit on AoE needs to be removed, and healing buffed to compensate for it imo. I’ve been on the receiving end of many a portal bombings, as well as the one doing the portal bombing, and if AoE wasn’t limited you would see far fewer problems with this technique.

Oh kitten you can evade twice in 4 diff directions L2use it and not stand in bad. You ppl need to stop kittening already. If anything portal gives YOU a perfect AoE target. So sick of ppl who can’t figure out simple mechanics crying about abilities.

In fact, apart your childish language and debatable overall intelligence shown in this post, you nailed the point; i can’t Aoe more than 5 out of the 100 ported by Portal.

See the flawed mechanic now or is needed to be explained better?

They are fine as they are.

Learn how to counter them with your guild.

Either they limit portal or they remove the limit on aoe’s. Pick.

If your the only one AoEing it then …. I just don’t even know what to say about that, I guess kudos on being the only intelligent one in the area ? Simply put, move away from the portal and everyone (not just you) start throwing AoE’s.

Portal bombs can be easily be countered even with culling issues if you play in a organized manner. People who cry about this usually are pugs. Random players that refuse to be team players and communicate. They don’t join in on the organized play with their server or guilds at all and proceed to cry.

Now if they “think” they are playing in an organized way and are still getting roflstomped by portal bombs every time. That’s just called being bad. Sorry.

The Portal recharge increase from 60 seconds to 90 seconds was a mesmer buff. Now teams need 50% more mesmers than before. Mesmers are in much better place in WvW now. You can expect to see more and more of mesmers while other professions will lose presentation.

Ultimatums by one person … that should really make Anet sit up and pay attention lol

Here’s how you stop people coming out of portals:
Circle of Warding + Feedback. They can’t get out of the portal area and everything they shoot is reflected back at them. And both of those skills work on EVERYONE, no target limit.
