@Exzen.2976 @Anna.7845 big thx for your positive feedback, thats very appreciated! im happy you could enjoy it! \o/and yeah sadly gw2 community has a lot of those negative ppl. i mean he can have his opinion and when he cant get enough value out of portal he should just use another utility. but its about the way how you say stuff. it can be constructive and making me have fun in an intersting conversation or its just negative and devaluing and then i dont even care to go into it. in case you both are interested in my opinion about portal: i highly disagree that portal got less complex from the nerfs, i think its quite the opposite, now you cannot just put it on a side node and have low effort free pressure on a point for 60 secs (what is a lot of time). and when you dont use it you could just have it again 10 secs later, so prenerf it was a perma pressure tool for low effort (same as thief is today so to say). so getting at least some value out of portal got harder postnerf. using it at max potential is another story but i think also that got harder since the shorter duration forces you to already have a plan about what you wanna do with it and the plan needs to be realised by you and your team faster. so in all skill requirement aspects i think portal got more of it, more skill need, more complex, less newbie- and mistakefriendly, you need to know about rotations more and need to read the map better/ faster and the match quite well most of the time for max value portals. so i think its harder to get min just as max value post nerf. for me portal works quite fine tho but that is just my experience and my opinion, he can have another one and when he feels like it is useless its his right. i agree at least that you need specific teamcomps for it in coordinated teamplay (just as for mesmer in general), it doesnt make sense to use portal or even mesmer itself in each teamcomp atm. and ofc you need a certain amount of dmg in the team to get kills in a decent amount of time and you would run a more roaming orientated comp. also that even when specing for mirage your mobility is still not rly that high, makes it not that easy. anet rly needs to balance out mobility in this game. it cant be that i run the fastest mesmer spec with everything (like rune) built around mobility and a holo is like only one sec behind me with perma superspeed (if i cannot use any z-axis ports im even slower going from a to b with one dodge mirage) or a healbreaker or even a bunker necro than something is wrong in the game and then the shorter duration is rly an issue. also i think they over did it with the nerf for a few seconds. atm sword mirage with lynx is in my opinion the only mesmer spec even worth thinking about using portal with that duration. i think like 40 secs duration (so core and chrono can use it too) and take out at least a little bit of the stupidly high mobility from classes which are not pure roamers only (and yes even holo is atm too much of an allrounder, can even duel and def a cap in a lot of matchups, is insane in teamfights, has support, peel, good sustain and resustain and that all on top of op mobility, so perma superspeed needs to go in any case) and portal will be very viable again.
my pleasure, im happy you like it <3i have a few with audio, either from the team communication during at and i think one big rotation guide with voice explaining (which was months of work bc of the audio alone for barely any interest/ views tbh). the problem is, that my audio quality is pretty low (dunno why, already bought new headset and stuff) and also i rly like to have the music in my vids, so when i would talk, music would be in the background only and for that i would use different music, which only worth for background and not too distraction (what is like a limitation for the music choice and its quality). also for me i am not rly good at speaking english freely and im kinda shy and would talk a lot of ääähm uuhhm... :joy:so i would need to edit such kitten out what needs a lot of time. thats why i usually prefer to make text guides with just great music in front. but if you rly want audio commentary i will try to do one :) is there any guide topic you would like me to explain?
