I know there was a range change on Acid Bomb, but the range still feels a bit shorter than it should normally be. I used this to create certain distances in fights, and it feels like the range is bugged. You used to be able to make little leaps to kite around, but now you can’t. Range should be at 600 to make the leaps or to kite around/mobility.

Well … Good thing is now you can’t leap off yourself from cliffs or other things …. which happends a few times to me … for example ac at kholar … almost landed in the water …

I did acid bomb before the patch without swiftness, and it should be longer than what it is now. Unless it isn’t affected by Mecha Legs, but even so without that trait either, I was able to do the leaps that it should be.

This change feels horrible. I used to love turning 180 degrees to fire off my backwards leap and do another 180 degree spin to keep going in the direction I want. With the range on this thing now it’s probably not even worth bothering to do anything but run. This was my favorite part of the elixir gun and one of the main things I enjoyed about the engineer between jump shot and rocket boots.
Please revert this mobility nerf it’s extremely unnecessary. I realize it was just a bug fix but it’s a bug fix from something that’s been that way as long as I remember so i’d like to see an extra 100 or so range added to it so it’s useful again.
is better how it is now. When you use it is because it’s supposed yuou’re in danger…and when you are in danger probably you have some CC condition on you..
so many times i was Chilled or Crippled in WWW hopeing to reach the door against many and the leap was too short as intended…
If you use it just to run fast (turning you’re self) is another story…

This, at least at 50 more range to make it 600 range.

No, mainly you use it to great a huge gap between yourself or the enemy. Or you use it for High Aoe Cleave. It’s not better as it is now, the range feels too shorter than it is normally without swiftness.

I can confirm that before this new patch Acid Bomb was already not affected by Swiftness, so even after the bugfix the range shouldn’t be getting shorter.
But now whenever I use Acid Bomb, I’m like “…that’s it?”

This guy gets it. Definitely much better now. I can use it on a point and know if I position myself correctly I won’t go (too far) off point now.

If you hit your drop bundle button just after using Acid Bomb you cancel the leap, but still do the acid pool and blast. You don’t move back at all.
So what you’re looking for is already possible, no need to nerf Acid Bomb’s range.

What if I don’t want to drop bundle? What if I still want to leap? If I’m going to use that combination, I’m probably going to immediately follow it with EG 3, then possibly 2 and/or even a couple of auto attacks depending on the situation.
Granted there are also times I wouldn’t, but I prefer to have the choice.

Your supporting and promoting a nerf to a skills mobility to suit an insignificant and irrelevant personal need for yourself? Sorry, but when you support a nerf for a selfish intention, no one will support anything you have to say. Particularly when everything your suggesting as a support for a nerf, can already be done.
It feels weird but I guess it’s correct this way. I mean, we are engineers – we NEVER had no swiftness while using that skill. So ofc it seems shorter. But maybe because of the fact that this skill was balanced WITH the swiftness, it should get some range by default? Hm …

You dont drop your bundle because you’re in the air.
It will simply prompt with a “Cannot switch weapon” or something like that. You will stay in Elixirgun, but you cancel the jump nonetheless.
Look just try instead of trying to punch holes in this, it works great and does exactly what you say you want.
