Guild Wars 2

So i’ve been playing condi engi for a long time, and I recently decided to play zerk static discharge.

Something I noticed is that while crate is great for team fights, getting the berserker off of elixer X as a zerk engi is usually even better. Obviously, the thing keeping zerk engis from using it is the rng aspect of said elite (50% chance to get the tornado).

I think tweaking this elite to not have rng would drastically increase its potential. Maybe something like while over 50% hp, you turn into a tornado. Under 50%, you turn into the berserker. I don’t know exactly what would make it balanced. However, I think most would agree that the rng aspect basically ruins the elite and puts crate on a whole other level.

Plus, I think we would all love to see more engineers using elixer X rather than turret engis crating a point before anyone even gets there (this makes me twitch every time).

OR they can buff tornado so it’s not a detriment to turn into one.

It’s pretty bad when your profession elite is so bad other professions don’t even want it.

That could work too. Honestly I just welcome any changes that promote zerk builds, whether it’s for ele, engi, or any other class. 1 step closer out of the cele meta.

Tornado on Engi isn’t bad because you can chain an overcharged shot after it. And it eats through blocks too and peels for your team mates. You can also tornado res or stomp if you spam F while you cast elixir X.

I do agree that Rampage is just better in every way though.

They differ but both are good. Tornado is epic for decapping a taken spot. That or baiting out a lot of dodges.

Rampage has much less decap potential but is much better suited for direct combat.

I would never take tornado over crate

And i don’t even consider looking at crate with my elixir X slotted.

Sounds like you’re shooting yourself in the foot.

My foot has no complains about the results of having that elite on my bar:>
