Notes

An inactive and active portal.

A portal cast by an enemy player.

The unique portal context action interface.

The previous uniquely colored portal context action interface.

• The portals are indestructible, untargetable objects which can teleport any allied players up to 20 times when interacted with either portal.
• The distance between two portals is restricted to 5,000 in PvE/WvW and 6,000 in PvP.
• After creating the initial portal with Portal Entre, the mesmer gains Portal Weaving and has 60 seconds to activate Portal Exeunt, which lasts 10 seconds after a 2 second delay.
• Recharge time for Portal Entre begins upon activation, and it resets to full recharge when the Portal Exeunt is used.
• Portals become brightly lit when they can be interacted with.

Trivia

• The skill's sound effect is the theme from Guild Wars played backwards on a prototype music box with echo added. Maclaine Diemer posted a video showing the prototype in response to a Reddit thread.
