I just found what seems to be “working as intended” a little too good, as a necro, you can activate spectral walk, use a waypoint, and then use spectral recall to pull yourself back to the original location.

This shouldn’t be a problem, but when traited you can refill on supply from your keep in WvW and jump back to your original location every 48 seconds if you have a fast computer/connection.

Once I figured out I could use it that way I felt a little bit clever, but then the “this is a bit too good” and “this is likely an exploit” thoughts started creeping in the back of my head, so I stopped, and decided to let you guys know about it.

I’d say just causing Spectral Walk to stop upon waypoint use would fix this without crippling one of the skill’s main attractions because of an unintended “feature”.

Yeah lot of people knew that, including me. I think it should be as thieves shadowstep and sword skill #2, they have range to teleport back, if they go out of that range and use the return skill they will be ported to the same direction but within the max range

Still it only lasts for 12 seconds tops traited. You’re not going to do much in that time frame as loading screens don’t stop the timer leaving you with only a few seconds.

EDIT: I tried to see whether i could get supplies from EB garrison and I just miss it. Unless someone is traited, has a super-fast loading time (I’m on an SSD and I still failed at it) there’s no time to do it.

I’m able to accomplish it when traited repeatedly without issue. I’m on a regular 7200 RPM HDD, perhaps you’ve got a different bottleneck.

This is still possible to do. I just found out about it today and looked to see if anyone reported it, I did not expect to find a 10 month old thread about the issue.
