Guild Wars 2

It’s been a long time disability in the engineers case to not have a device or skill that mimics the healing from damage output that many classes enjoy in the game so when I say that this spec might be the option engineers have been waiting for for a power build, I was concerned that if we do damage to ourselves while overheating it would impair us even further since we don’t have sigils.

I am happy to say that I read the wiki which laid out all of the traits and there is a final option in the trait line that ultimately heals us when we explode from heat overload and also eliminates the self damage problem.

Photonic Blasting Module provides immunity to our own overheating and also provides healing from heat lost as well as a damage increase.

there will probably be 2 main playstyles from the gm traits and the 3rd trait will be ignored:

1. maintaining heat at a high level to get more power damage (dissipating heat will still heal you, just a bit less bursty)
2. generating as much heat as possible as often as possible to get more condi or power damage (will give bursts of healing while you cool, but the trait doesn’t allow passive heat dissipation, only overload dissipation)

I’m much more interested in seeing if there’s any potential synergy between AED and Holosmith. But yeah, that heal-per-heat-lost is pretty nice sounding too.

oh i see, but i think the interaction is flawed/unconsidered… either you wont have lasers edge when you explode if you dont take photonic blasting module, or you wont be able to force aed procs. and overheating cant do both self damage and enemy damage. nothing looks beneficial about it.
