Very quickly I’m thinking something like:
30 in explosions — bomb cd, explosive damage, increased aoe
30 in inventions — bomb explosions heal allies, increased speed in combat, and whatever else.
10 elsewhere (i was thinking tools) — maybe lighting bolt on tk skills or speedy kits.
Stats prioritize Toughness and/or Vitality. Then mix in healing power, crit, conditions however you want.
p/p, toolkit, bombkit, — anything else you want to bring for your 3rd utility slot
Basically what I see here is a beefy/tank character that can apply self heal self and allies super easily, easy confusion 3 different ways (spread it out or stack it), multiple snares, lots of AoE and conditions, and perma speed both in and out of combat. If they run pull them back in with magnetic shield and snare again/confuse again/bomb them to hell. Rinse and Repeat. Too many people on you?— create space with a big bomb. If ur still taking too much heat you always have gear shield and whatever 3rd utility skill you brought.
If you decide to bring goggles as a 3rd utility that’s easy vulnerability that stacks with toolkit plus a stun breaker and if you combine with medikit then you have perma vigor. I’m sure there’s lots of other good fits for the 3rd slot.
I just had time to try it for a sec in sPvP and got top place—but that probably doesn’t mean anything. I can see this being very good for WvW or PvE.
I’m SURE someone has already done something like this. Probably better. And Ideally, recently as well. So I would like to hear more about it if this could actually be something good and not just gimic.
Anyway, g2g look forward to ur responses in my morning.
