Yet. Another feedback thread.
1. Hammer
- Auto-attack chain: Lacks of any particle effect, compared to the rest of the AA in the game.
- Electro-whirl: Animation of this skill clearly sugest that it will strike third time after one second. Increase delay between two fast strikes, or add third strike after a second.
2. Class Mechanics
- Function Gyro (and traits attatched to it): Irenio clearly stated that they don’t have now time for serious reworks and we maybe see bigger changes in future.
About this mechanics: It isn’t game-changing feature, it’s too situational, AI dependant, poor compared to rest of the elite-specs. I hold your promice Irenio!
3. Utility Skills
- General: If we are normalizing cooldown of gyros. It would be better to normalize their duration to. 15 seconds duration on all gyros (except Sneak gyro), will make them clearer to menage and easier to understand.
- General: Detonation of gyro is realy unrewarding. 1 second daze is to low to affect gameplay, also each gyro should have it’s own bonus on detonation (at example Medic Gyro would have small healing chunk, a Purge Gyro would have AoE 2 condi removal)
- Medic Gyro: Lacks something beside heal. Any other engineer’s heal is offering something more: Condition removal, boons etc. Adding boon like vigor or regeneration wouldn’t be a bad thing here. -> Reconstruction Field: 4s of protection on 25 seconds cooldown is bad. Increase protection duration to 2s per tick and make it repair gyros (it’s reconstruction field, right ?).
- Shreder Gyro: After testing pure whirl finishers wasn’t that impressive at all. This skill lacks damage. It should realy hit hard, becouse its Shreder Gyro not Fan Gyro ^^. Let it’s damage tick hit for ~800 (and scale from Scrapper’s stats).
- Purge Gyro -> Chemical Field Let’s change this field to light field which inflics blind. With Hammer2 and Shreder gyro it will cleanse conditions like Gyro itself. Keep it simply.
- Blast Gyro -> Bypas Coating Stunbreak, pretty please. Scrapper doesn’t have any stunbreaks.
4. Traits:
- Function Gyro-> Stabilization Core -> Decesive Renown (read above)
- Recovery Matrix – This trait should have internal cooldown. On healing turret with it’s healing combo you can have 50% protection uptime (10 seconds). It would be good to have that protection applied also to nearby allies (gyros – to make them easier to survive)
- Shocking Speed – Cooldown on this trait is unnecessary. Remove cooldown and reduce superspeed duration to 2 seconds.
- Final Salvo – This trait in current iteration is realy weak on grandmaster, especially when compared to Scrapper’s another 2 Grandmasters. Some kind of 25%-33% cooldown reduction on gyros in addition to that superspeed lightining field. It wouldn’t be bad either to let that lightinig field damage enemies standing inside of it (or daze).
5. General
- Super Speed – LET IT GOD kitten SACK
Trust me. I’m engineer
