Ok come on anet devs, i get it you buffed the mortar a…..little bit……feels the same like nothing changed…..simple question……what makes you think i’d use it over supply depot, supply depot has been the old reliable for any situation pvp/wvw wise, and still is the only elite worth mentioning in the Engineer class.

If your gonna buff mortar….just make it a kit plz……how OP would it be to be able to pick it up as you move…..if we are talking about 1500 range, what can a mortar do that a grenade kit can’t do better…..nothing. So why should anyone even consider using this with the crap 1 drop forget about it method when the enemy blob pushes you, when supply depot has so much better utility. It just doesnt make sense that this gets a super itsy bitsy buff but devs cant make it into a kit type.

Ok fine if you want, while using mortar kit your stuck on spot and u do get a few seconds of stability if u want, dont really care, but if you have to move you have a skill 6 that makes it so that you can carry it off the ground and put it back into a kit. So for short when you press 0(elite skill)it will drop the mortar and you can use it, use it, then when you want to leave and put the mortar back on your backpack press 6(obviously you got no skills 6-0 while using the mortar kit(kinda like using costume brawl skills, skill 6 to get out). Its a simple idea but it makes the mortar considerable to even use.

Its use is promising even if the dmg is crap, You devs made the ranger at least viable for use in blob fights in wvw, now make engineers viable were the last class who have a tough time being productive in this large scale fights. I hope this doesnt fall on deaf ears, give us a 2nd skill we can call an ELITE SKILL.

If you made this sept 9 changes for pve….lol….thats all i can say…..hahahaha.

Many classes also suffer from having only one good elite, or none at all in some cases.

This truly is something that needs to be worked on, and I feel you. Supply crate never leaves my bar, though I wish for the day when I can use another elite to break the monotony.

Transformation elites should at the very least make us temporarily immune. Like tornado, I mean really they are swinging at air, cmon now. It’s not that difficult. Whirlpool too.

There are similar situations on the necro I’m playing right now, like whoever thought of someone using a sword to kill a cloud of disease particles.

Elixir X(Elite) is kinda iffy to use, for one you have to trait for elixir cd to make it semi decent to use, 2nd you would want to trait Elite Supplies to make it better as well, going through traits you don’t use just to make this elite decent, is not worth the trouble, elite skill should just blend with your build and not the other way around.

backpack used mortar in the mistpedia weekly cup finals. Ostricheggs played some games in teamQ with a pug with mortar. Maybe it is useful somehow.
