The shorter cooldown should change the meta entirely, since with 20-30 second round trip you’ll barely get to the other point before you have to turn around and go back and wait for your portal cd, making constant portal uptime unviable.

exactly my point though, you will still be able to get to the other point, drop time warp, chaos storm, nullfield…etc in the 5~10sec window you have and port back. I just see it from a boring, and repetitive strategy

I could be wrong but so far its been 5 months, i missed 3, and meta is almost the same as it was in beta with minor exceptions

yes Mouse i agree, however that suggestion will not affect the meta. Mesmer will still be functioning the same way it is now. Anyhow, things could easily be separated between sPVP and PvE/WvWvW…..

good post but for the portal issue, personally, i disagree with your suggested “fix”.
I would recommend something along those lines:

1- you cant teleport items through it, repair kits…etc
2- The distance should be reduced to lets say 900, anything more and your portal wont work. CDs, duration…etc wont change the fact that the mesmer will still be able to defend two points or, in a good strategy once used, port the whole team in foe-fire from mid point to on top of the lord of the opposing team and finish the game in 10seconds….

I dont have a problem with might generation as it can be stripped or countered by an opposing team, but the portal is a lot trickier

weapon swap on an ele is kitten edly OP, even out of combat…example, i would be a bunker ele but swap to s/d stack 20+ might, auramancer it to group, swap back to staff right before engagement…yes we do that now but making easier on the fly would be OP…

I think we are fine without it, i do however wish as some suggested for a system that would allow not only pre-configured weapon sets but traits/runes/sigils. Having three or four different builds profile ready before hand that i can swap to would be great.

i am actually surprised that the blog isn’t up yet, its been over 10 days since it was mentioned…I am almost positive he planned something, dev said its impossible, no re-write lol
I think we, competitive players/teams, are bored of this because we spent months in closed/open beta doing this and want the ranks to prove our worth. Just like what someone mentioned in this thread, 500-100/200 isnt really competitive or fair for pugs. Scrimming hardly ever works

i have to agree with the rest, it is rather mediocre…i have had a good relationship with d/d for a long time and u havent done it justice

this was an example of ele all recorded within 1 tourney. if you’d like i’ll hand pick fights where i faceroll opponents/had perfect roations.

the fights were hand picked true, but none of them was just showing the finishing blow, they mostly showed the whole fight with at least 3 full 1v1s….plus the whole point of making a video is to have your audience enjoy both skills and content, which your video lacked both….
anyways, thanks for the dislike and keep up the d/d perhaps you will learn more and create better content
