Guild Wars 2

I think that would be a fair trade-off. Casting it at your feet and being able to use it as a true portal later makes much more sense than being able to cast it at range but not teleport to it correctly most of the time.

If you use a mesmer portal you can travel between any two points within the time limit without a problem. Necrotic traversal seems worthless in comparison. It seems like it’s using the code from thief’s shadow step instead of the mesmer portal. It has a very short unlisted range limitation. It can not take you across the map like a mesmer portal by any means. Most of the time it ports you vaguely in the direction of your wurm instead of the actual location of the wurm. Frequently it only “teleports” you a single step but kills the wurm anyway. The skill should be fixed to have the portal functionality for the necromancer. If not, the text should be fixed to describe the actual ability: “Shadow step in the direction of your flesh wurm”.

Supply crate is incredibly overhyped. The stun is nice but not particularly amazing. The turrets get destroyed almost instantly every time I see them and the damage is not threatening even if they stay up. It’s only a dire threat to glass cannon builds who completely invest in single target melee. When I see supply crate drop I consider it an annoyance, getting hit by Moa is more of a death sentence. An immobilize followed by a heavy burst skill is one of the most common combinations in the game and is usable by mesmers themselves. If you get hit by an immobilize and burst skill while in Moa there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it and you’ll probably die or become so low on health you die almost immediately after Moa ends. You can NOT dodge out of an immobilize and many immobilize skills are instant so there is no casting animation to read. I would rather get hit by a net and piddling turret fire any day because I can still use all my skills to either free myself and run away or destroy the gear. In Moa form if you get stunned and burst there’s absolutely no way to break out.

Same here. Started late last night and continues today. PvE is completely fine but PvP has horrendous lag spikes all over the place and poor latency in general. The latency has always been fine for me until now.
