I hate the #1 of the Med Kit.

The idea is not bad and I like the effect, but – what I think – in PvE it is pretty useless ( – Dungeons are DMG focused, just healing wont make your group members happy… and if you do not deal (any) damage in open world to the mobs, there wont be loot for you) and in PvP you will not be able to heal allies that much, because IF you want to play that support-role you will just die from any other class. And really… who just stands there in PvP and is waiting for his heals will die from any AOE effect.

The worst thing about it is its PLAYSTYLE.

You have to walk to an allie, press #1 and you have to watch out, that you hit him with your blast.

NOW: – What would be much better! :

Hey you remember that one heal skill we got from the toxic living world?
What if we gave the Engineer a 600 RADIUS Med Blast, that works like that skill?

Radius: 600, maybe reduced to 450 / 350, because it is a radius.
Effect: Still the same like Med Blast
Visual: Like the removed heal skill, but maybe without that spinning… And starting from the engis arm and not the character center.
Additional: It would be great if it could effect the engineer himself, so he doesnt need to run after his med packs and heal allies while trying to stay alive.

That is my own point of view, if you do not agree, tell me why #1 seems super effective to you in PvE, PvP or WvW. Personally I did take a look at Med Blast from a more PvP influenced view.

Maybe using a directional groundtarget type skill (like Whirlwind Attack), that way we can easily control where the beem goes, and see how large the area is.

Also the healing needs to be more than 90×3, it’s not even noticable when I try to heal up important event NPCs like Vinewrath caravans.

This move is the single worst healing move in the game. An uplevel elementalist with no points in healing can heal with water for a little over 300 hp with the normal water staff attack. Healing bombs was superior in all aspects.

I’ll be honest. When I booted up the game on patch day and saw “74 health per second” as the medblasters first skill I thought it was bugged.
