Guild Wars 2

A 240 radius blind on a 40 second cooldown. I hope this is a joke.

It’s what you get when it’s attached to a 15s or 30s stunbreak utility that reduces damage and conditions taken by 50% for 3s

They wanted to have a strong utility so they attached a limp toolbelt, that’s balance

It would be better IMO if its CD also changed according to the heat level.

Agreed. 40 seconds CD for blindness and maybe 10% condi damage reduction is too much.

I don’t think having a decent utility is a reason to have the toolbelt skill be useless. It’s a glorified flamethrower 5 on an insanely high cool down.

Wiki says it is a 30 second cooldown, 25.5 if you take Tools. (Flash Spark)

And hey, on the “bright” side, it gives you a 4 second Light Aura too when above 50 heat!

What you should be worried about is Cauterize! It’s one of two condition clears the Holosmith offers, and it sets us on fire!

Maybe 08.08 balance patch will give core engi more condi clears than elixirs. Remove condition after using toolbelt skill? Give Gadgets 2-3 charges and add condi cleanse fact per use after traiting Gadgeteer? Pretty, pretty please.

They are changing light aura to be -10% condition damage which makes it slightly better than just a blind but still meh.

I like the idea of charges on gadgets and the toolbelt Condi clear as well. Throw Mine having charges would be a good synergy with the trait that heals when you combo a blast finisher and some others.
