Guild Wars 2

Playing the scrapper elite spec, and loving it. However, there is one thing that I feel like could use improvement, and that’s the engi hammer 3 skill (Rocket Charge).

First of all, when I use this skill, it sometimes does not move me in the direction I want to go; instead of leaping me forward, it leaps me backwards or sideways, even though I don’t have a target or autotarget on. It would be really nice if this was fixed so it always leaps me forward.

Secondly, there’s a roughly one-second delay when you start Rocket Charge, a one-second delay in-between each of the three leaps within the skill, and a one-second delay after the skill is over. Because of these delays before, during and after the skill, I feel like it’s really not optimal as a gap closer/escape option. I’d love it if either the delays were decreased or just gotten rid of…at the very least, the delay before the skill starts and after it’s over.

Anyway, that’s it. Again, enjoying scrapper, but would love to see these minor improvements to Rocket Charge.

Agree The fact that there is so much delay on the leaps especially after the third, plus the fact that you evade for 1 sec but the skill lasts for 1. 3/4 of a sec makes gap closing and evading feel clunky and unrealiable. Would love to see this skill last for 1 sec so you evade during the entire skill, just like the revenants evade skills. And the delay for each jumps be removed so we have a reliable gap closer.

Rocket Charge is affected by movement impairing effects which is a big problem (bug)

It’s affected by chills and slows which is annoying. It also needs a way to cancel mid use really badly.

There is, open a kit mid Rocket Charge and then drop bundle to stop the Charge.

Stow weapon should stop it however, currently it doesn’t.

This would be my top priority. I can’t even begin to count the number of times my engie threw himself off a cliff because of targeting or mob/terrain issues and I have no way to back out of the action. It’s a suicide button.
