Not every utility skill/trait is meant to be used in any gamemode man…
wich is the worst concept to adopt…. it looks slacking to avoid spend time working on balance.
All skills should be usable in all modes, effectivess would deppend on role pretended, and not get tied to 1 or 2 builds to X mode.
Gyros might work but players can go into the midle of the blob or will need to cast gyros when combat spreads the other team if thats the case.
1st April joke, when gw2 receives a “balance” update.
The Blast Gyro might be ideal to disrupt the backline, while the shredder gyro might be a nice touch to pressurize the flanks. Both the medic and the purger gyro have their uses for support while the bullwark is a flat out damage reducer. The sneak gyro might help if the engineer wants to set up a bait for flanking.
As always, engineer is about clever use of the tools at your disposal. Not mindless zerging. For that, you have the hammer and the kits.
Gyros may find some use in 1vs1, but they are completely useless in WvW for any encounters of group size or above. Some might be used for their toolbelt skills, but the gyros themselves will just be destroyed by aoe/cleave before they can accomplish anything.
And shredder gyro pressurizing the flanks? With those fearsome projectile finishers? Really?
As it stands now there is only one type of gyro, that’s useful for WvW. And only if you’re hungry.

please explane me how the shredder gyro can make pressure on a moveing zerg flank…..
please….be serious
If theres 1 class that can make that it should not exist… it is a team work.
(little bit offtopic)
I know some classes have to much compared with the effort for the expected result(Anet is awfull at balance and that is the reason gyros and SW fall back, they increase damage for sure on AA in expect to please scrapper players since they cant use gyros, players love cheap high AA for sure), but gyros are mostly small scale combat and PVE, at least they look in better shape or careness from dev’s, more than SW always had… so players that want to use scapper cannot go to the midle of the fight in expect to use them, that is the same of a guardian with SoJ and HoW (SW melee weapons that are even bad at small scale combat).
With this, a scrapper with gyros should be supporting the team that is flanking, problem is the lack of functionality from ditto utilities Anet could make them more controllable but they instead of making a smart game, they are dumbing it down, thus alot of stuff will fall back besides pve.

the sneak gyro sounds like unbelievable bullkitten… 30s of stealth for an unlimited number of people… gee where have i seen something similar? oh right the EB mass stealth fountain!
WvW is gonna be gross, PVE skipping will be a huge joke… wow wtf were they thinking with this.
Bristleback can’t hit anything? Let’s fix the HP bug instead.
