Guild Wars 2

As a tldr: I’m bored, and this is another Kit Theory.

Surgical Kit

Arm your self with a Surgical Kit to support allies and debilitate foes.

•1) Bone Saw : (two part chain skill) Cut at foes for X damage. Dealing bonus damage to Stunned Foes.
-(2nd part chain skill) Amputate: Saw at foes inflicting X damage. In addition inflict 1/2 second Immobilize to foes who are stunned.

•2) Syringe Sprint : Sprint at foes with a medicated syringe dealing X damage and applying Poison and Chill. After 4 seconds the foe will be Stunned for 1 second. If you are interrupted during “Syringe Sprint” you will be inflicted with Poison and Chill instead.

•3) Lobotomize : Deal X damage to a foe at close range and inflict 2 random conditions that they are currently not suffering from.

•4)Tactical Transfusion : (two part skill chain) Collect and store blood from targets at close range for X seconds. Removing up to 3 boons and inflicting Bleed. When used on an ally you will store their Current Boons and grant them Vigor.

-(2nd skill chain): Tactical Infusion : Infuse your self with the enhanced blood applying the 3 boons you have taken in addition you will also cure Poison.

•5) Hallucinogenic Compound :Lob a hand full of chemical vials at short range that explode into a volatile mist that Breaks Stuns for allies every second they stay within the Mist. The Mist persists for 3 seconds. In addition The Mist will inflict Confusion to foes each second they remain in the Mist. Foes who remain within the Mist will be Feared for 1 second as the Mist Dissipates.

Tool Belt Ability

• Battle Stimulant : Inject yourself with a Battle Stim that Breaks stuns and grants you Fury Swiftness and Quickness for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, you will suffer from Weakness and _Cripple_for 3 seconds.

Hehe.. thats actually pretty cool +1

Wolf.5816:

Laughed my butt off at this visual.

Wolf.5816:

•3) Lobotomize : Deal X damage to a foe at close range and inflict 2 random conditions that they are currently not suffering from.

Pls say no to random conditions. Make it weakness and confusion. Haha.

Other than that, very fun kit you have dreamed up. I would love to equip that instead of Elixir Gun, but I fear it has a very similar role.

I know it’s difficult to understand these concepts by their undescript explanations but let me explain a little better.

My intent with the Lobotomy skill (and in fact the whole Surgical Kit) was first off to give it a noteworthy amount of power scaling, pulling it out of its perceived condition dominance.

Next I wanted to create a kind of internal synergy that can be seen across most Kits/Weapons but I wanted this one to be unique. My making Lobotomy not only deal decent power damage I wanted it to focus around a different play style. Since this skill applies 2 conditions your target doesn’t have out of the entire pool of 12 the concept here is to essentially load the opponent with the least devastating conditions so that you can tip the scales towards the ideal conditions.

As we know, condition blanketing is one of the Engineers specialty and Lobotomize plays right into that. So imagine if I put on cripple, chill, confusion, blind, bleeding, vulnerability, poison and weakness. A feat that may seem daunting, but is reflectively feasible to pull off under certain situations. Now imagine Lobotomizing someone.

That would essentially mean that the next two conditions to be applies would have to be either Immobilize, Torment, Weakness or Fear. That’s essentially a 50/50 for some really powerful conditions granted that example was certainly loaded but you begin to see the power of lobotomy.

In my mind anyways.. Which is quite bored.

I really appreciate the read.
