Guild Wars 2

Medic Gyro needs to have condi cleanse added to it baseline just as the heal turret has it on overcharge. There needs to be somthing that can actually compete with heal turret outside of the elixir H heal when paired with hgh and cleansing pulse.

IMO the toolbelt should pulse 3 times over 6 seconds which would equal 3 condis cleansed over 6 seconds (one condi each pulse) and 2 seconds of protection every pulse to compensate for the bigger gap. and if someone says “oh thats too strong”
…well lets see a 25 second BASE TB skill on 25 sec CD for 3 condis over time and an instant heal(even while CC’d on a 20 sec CD, VS a HEAL SKILL on a 15-20 sec (depending on if you blast or not) that cleanses 2 condis and its alot more utility based due to allies having access to the water fields produced as well AND does a good burst heal if blasted once or twice depending on your loadout…. seems like a good competition no? thats what we should be having to choose between; AoE burst heal and access to lots of regen/blast combos through the overcharge and TB mist, and instant 2 condi cleanse every 15-20 seconds, OR a heal skill thats usable while CC’d on a 20 second CD plus a pulsing cleanse and a small amount of protection AoE TB skill on a 25 second CD?

ANET PLEASE, make gyros a competitive choice for the kits, they are hardly used outside of the bulwark gyro *(sometimes) and the stealth gyro thats it!*

The other gyros are not as good as other utilities and are ignored all together, ITS ALL OVER THE ENGI FORUMS!!!

Anyone feel the same?

Medic gyro already have a condi cleanse (damage based condis like bleeding, burning, etc). Unlike the turret, it also have daze and considerable AoE damage when popped. I really dont see how its bad. I run my scrapper with all gyros (except shredder) all the time, lol.

So every skill that heals has? o.ô …

This. The medic gyro is NOT supposed to be THE SAME as the HT just in another animation. It serves a different purpose. It’s full heal + protection and has potential quickness and daze. It’s perfect the way it is (at least once it gets fixed since it does nothing right now … Since wintersday patch … hurray …).

What I really would like to see is improvement for Purgy. He needs a stunbreak and his toolbelt needs to do more than just be a poison field. Boonstrip, condi cleanse itself, being tagged to the engi like Medy toolbelt, dealing direct damage, becoming bigger, etc, all such stuff would be great for it! Ofc not all at once, those are just examples. But it requires some love. And Purgy itself NEEDS TO BE AOE! Currently purgy is a weaker version of the elixier gun :/

Bulwarky is fine (except for that armor issue), Sneaky is also fine (except for pathfinding).

Blasty on the other hand needs to inherit the stats of the scrapper (power, crit chance and damage) to be a solid option. CC alone is not enough, especially not on scrapper… “Exclusive for phantasms” they said about inheriting stats of the owner. Yet is Blasty only a fancy projectile animation rather than an actual gyro / pet. Just let it inherit our stats already …

About Shreddy I do not wanna start talking >_>

Shreddy is as useless as it gets lol. Let’s hope for a buff on tuesday \o/

Shreddy would be quite nice if it also inherited the scrapper’s stats (like you suggested for Blasty) and whirl-finishers got a rework.

I think a good rework for whirl-finishers would be something similar to Sabetha’s flame wall (animation and mechanic wise), just in a smaller radius and faster. https://youtu.be/CZvnK9Bn4yQ?t=28s
Make a wall extend in a random direction that spins around the center of the whirl-finisher and applys it’s effect to anything it hits.

…..Try taking off your inventions line then see how many cleanses it has lol… I saved you the trouble and found the trait that cleanses your damaging condition and if your using all gyros like you say in competitive play such as spvp or WvW roaming with no kits…. gods help you…

The real problem is that the Pruge Gyro is just meh – and this is where our Condi Cleanse is located, in addition to the trait you identify.

I’ve been enjoying Blast gyro. I replaced slick shoes with it in the meta build and had a lot of fun knocking people off of points. Sometimes a knockback is better than a knockdown.
