Guild Wars 2

I am one of the wierdoes that use elixir infused bombs in PvE.
When they presented first draft of changes I was pumped. Ok I can resign from my speed boots, and elixir infused bombs when I get blast finisher on healing skills, healing on blasts, and distributed healing. The question were of course the internal CDs…
Unfortunetly, this draft suck.

Inventions line have few problems…
They took haling on blasts, and movment speed in this same level.
GM minor is bad… 250 healing power really.
I don’t like any of GM choice. I supposed to be interested in MDF but with ICD this skill become simply bad. Maybe there would be exploits in WvW, but really.
They gave example that if you get 8k healing you will give out 1k. Ok, but tell me what skills provide 8k healing. Maybe AED, and maybe full healing turret combo on full healing build (in other words long CD skills). I could gave out 1k healing in less than 3 seconds with elixir infused bombs. Not to monition this skill will have terrible synergy with backpack regenerator, or even any occasional small heals.

What I want to change. Move MDF as GM minor trait (it is way more interesting than Healing Power), and give back elixir infused bombs (simple).

Ok now lets look at some other skill changes.
Med kit
Won’t change a thing. Still nobody will use it. It is cool it gives boons. But really 2 sec Resistance like it would made a diffrence. Most of healing is STILL single target.
If we look for “wonderful” healing gun we can see it numbers. more than 1 second cast. Healing on lv 80 is 110 +10 per boon -> NO Nobody will ever use it. It is worse than water bolt.
I will still stick with healing turret.

Mortar
Well it looks like another swaping kit. A bit selfish. For sure more useful than old one.

Explosion GM minor trait
Well this I don’t like. I see it being nice in PvP, but as I said I am PvE player, and there is nothing more annoying than knockback (everyone love bearbow rangers that overuse point blank shoot).
It happened to be my problem as except turret detonation and supply crate other blast finishers made knockback, or self displacement, so often I just didn’t use them.
For sure it will be much harder to fit into “semi-organised” dungeon group.
