Gw2 | Qadim CM | Power Virtuoso | Portal

Example footage of playing Mesmer (Portal) on Wing 6 - Qadim CM for RTI.


This video was recorded when End of Dragons (EoD) was the latest expansion. Since then, relics were introduced, Deadly Blade's duration got increased, and Virtuoso's grandmaster trait Infinite Forge got buffed, which results in Power Virtuoso being able and required to use Bladesongs frequently.


Your task:
Your exact task depends on the strategy you're doing. The video shows your task when doing 2 pyres: You're responsible to port your party back to the boss from the stability pyre, and to port the whole squad over the jumping puzzle to Qadim at 33%. A second mesmer or thief is responsible to teleport their party back to the boss from the protection pyre, and (in case of it being a mesmer) to port the whole squad to Qadim's 2nd platform past ~15%. You might be either of those mesmers; the video shows the PoV for the first one described.
If you're only doing one pyre, you're responsible to port the whole squad to the protection pyre. You basically do the same thing as shown in the video, except you have to go to the protection pyre instead of stability and you'll be alone until you open your portal as soon as you land at the pyre.
No matter the strategy, you're also responsible to pull in the Magma Elementals via Focus#4. Make sure to pull them immediately after the shockwave. In the first phase, you want to pull them in the middle of Qadim's hitbox. In the second phase, you want to pull only 2 Elementals next to the boss due to the platforms otherwise potentionally blocking the pull on the right one.

Comments:
I probably shouldn't have swapped to Dagger/Focus on the first Pyre (around 1:22), as I was stuck on this set for quite a while due to the need to pull in the Elementals instead of being able to do a proper rotation.
