Guild Wars 2

I’ve been playing in wvwvw with my new mesmer i trained specifically for wvwvw, and i find that when i use my elite skill mesmer(gives an aoe haste for 10sec) on a huge zerg group, only some peole get the effect, if any, and i dont get it much when i use it on a zerg group with me in the aoe. is this a bug for the elite mesmer skill or is it intended for only so many people.

Most, if not all, AoE buff effects only affect a maximum of 5 “targets” in range.

thanks for responding, that makes the elite skill for wv3 so much worse than i had imagined prior. this is intended by anet, yes? but also if thats the case i think i’ve seen aoe healing more than 5before though(could be wrong), like the healing turret, and the water spring ability on a elementalist.

The Guardian Staff heal, Empower, often heals anywhere between 5 to 18 people (by my highest count) and merely stats on the skill it heal’s ally’s within range.

The mesmer skills state that they have a given effect (Time warp and Mass Invisibility) on either Allies, or “All Allies” within range however this is the case with neither. With the massive recharge and very limited duration I can’t help but feel this is not working as intended.

I mean i understand it could be a bit overpowered in wv3 if there is like 4-5mesmers with Time warp giving quickness to 40+players to easily take down a gate in a minute, but because it only gives quickness to 5 players in wv3, its really just awful, n i would much rather use my asura racial elite (7series golem) for projectile reflects, and damage on a gate. hopefully anet bumps it up to 15players, which isn’t overpowered like no limit, but not weak like 5.
