Guild Wars 2

First minor trait in Tools
Adrenaline Pump: Using toolbelt skills partially restores endurance.
Amount: 10%

The idea I had was to change it so that it would remove 1 condition per use of toolbelt skill.

The Tool tree already give alot of endurance boosts with adrenaline implant and we also got invigorating speed in alchemy. So I thought this could be a nice alternative.

(I just now came to Think of this so I haven’t really put that much thought into it.)

Pros:

Better Control vs condi classes
Maybe opens up options to use other healing skills and/or utilities
synchronises well with cleaning formula 409 – (throwing or consuming elixires removes conditions from those affected, amount: 1)

Cons:
difficult to get to work with situational skills

Would be nice to hear moree opinions on this, both pros and cons!

Too strong for adept minor

you want to give every engi with speedy kits really good condi removal for the minor trait? hmm

While the engi is slightly below solid in terms of condition removal for certain playstyles, it’s not advised to riddle them with such a good way to remove conditions, especially for a minor trait located in the adept tree. Too… synergistic.

Aye I admit it’s a Little too strong for adept tier, however say, if we switched its Place with any pf the higher tier traits, would it be a balanced trait then? Or even make it a normal trait, not a minor.
Really the Place of the trait is not what I wanted to talk about, rather the idea of it xD

Many of the toolbeltskills have 20+ sec cd so it would be simillar to the warior cleanse-on-adrenaline or the thief Clean while stealthed.
Not to mention many of the toolbelt skills are situational and has a cast time.

That, on the other hand could be one of the cons, too difficult to get to work wiht the toolbelt skills that requires a specific situation ex. big ol’ bomb, the rocket toolbelts etc.

it would probably make a good master or grandmaster major. its quite defining.

This sounds like a good Major Master trait.

Make this as automated response replacement. At the moment AR is useless and way too weak

internal cooldown would make it not being overpowered

I would like to argue that it does not need an internal CD since the toolbelt skills have cooldowns on thier own. And wasting all the toolbelts would not be very effective unless you’re a SD engineer, in which case you lack other ways to handle conditions.

its a good thing that a burst build has a weakness
