Guild Wars 2

A-net has been nerfing Base engi since HoT came out to try and balance what was a broken spec, Scrapper. What doesn’t make sense to me is why u would nerf all engineer builds when you could just nerf the scrapper trait line and solve the problem at the root. With the August 8th patch A-net has decided to tear the base engineer traits apart in attempts to balance what has not even been released yet. Holosmith.
The Tools line was suffering from poor options at its Grandmaster tier, so we’ve reworked Kinetic Battery and Gadgeteer to smooth out their gameplay patterns.
is that what u did anet? Is it rly?
Turret Detonate Skills: Fixed a bug that caused these skills to count as toolbelt skills for the purposes of traits.
Big? THEY WERE TOOLBELT SKILLS FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS!!
Mortar Kit: Fixed a bug that caused the effects for these skills to play incorrectly on WvW walls and doors.
aka they not longer actually land ontop the wall
Alchemical Tinctures: This trait no longer grants boon duration; it now grants up to 240 Concentration at level 80.
which is 4% less boon duration
Explosive Powder: This trait has been removed from the game. It has been replaced by Shaped Charge
which was 10% dmg increase for explosives and included the trait that gave turrets knockback
Siege Rounds: This trait has been removed. It has been replaced with Orbital Command.
which takes away my double orbital strike for blast finishing for a useless skill that wil NEVER HIT ANYONE!
Kinetic Battery: This trait has been reworked. It now generates kinetic charges whenever a toolbelt skill is used. At 5 charges, gain quickness and superspeed for 5 seconds. Charges can only be generated while in combat but do not expire until 5 stacks is reached or the trait is unequipped.
What was once the main defense for mostly all base engi builds… gone

A-Net needs to stop nerfing everyones builds, and focus on the ones that are actually a problem. (Scrapper for the last two years)

We’ll get a fix soon.
Holosmith.

Dont worry, holo will be nerfed too after a month.

Purity of purpose, wopwop!!!!!
