Guild Wars 2

So the problem isn’t BoB after all!

The problem is that Elixir X creates exploitable synergies with Eng mechanics. Once again, some cunning Eng’s have found a way to turn an Eng disadvantage (the delay between cast and effect for bombs) into a potential advantage (though lets face it, 13K burst is only spectacular to Engs).

This is starting to sound like all those calls to nerf HGH (including some of the same players), when the real culprit was Elixir S.

so what are these “exploitable” synergies i only see 2 skills benefitting from using Elixir X after casting them Acidic elixir and Big ol bomb

now heres the thing WHY is it game breaking for engineer to do high damage when thiefs and warriors and mesmers and who knows what other class can do as much damage if not higher with just One skill with low cooldown .

100b- 8s-6s traited
Eviscerate-10s-8s traited
Pistol whip- about 6s supposed cooldown
backstab-about 5s
Mind Wrack-15s cd
Heartseeker-Lolcooldown
Kill shot-10s-8s traited
vs
Elixir X-120-96s traited
B.O.B-30s-21s if 30 points traited in tools

But you don’t understand, a random ele died to this…

Let me repeat: a random ele died to this.

I will repeat again: a random ele died to this!

I don’t see what else needs explaining.

3 Things!

1. B.O.B won’t be nerfed.. It would take too much work to “Fix” this considering this is only viable as a troll build for hotjoin or a cool trick for your friends (Try going this glassy on tPvP and watch their thiefs and mesmer bear hug you)
2. Everyone takes supply crate(exept me)
3. Scope will never be fixed! apparently it will be remade <3 Proof!

I haven’t used supply crate in like 4 months. Rampage form too op

Man, I’ve been usin’ elixir X since the beta. All you fools thought me a moron, but who’s laughin’ now, huhhhh?

Although I have actually used elixir X in many occasions. It can actually be a much better PvE choice than supply crate depending on your spec. If they just fixed some stuff up with the transforms, it would be even better. It’ll be a bit sad if it’s just reduced to a BOB booster… not that it’s the most interesting elite in the first place.

Want to improve Elixir X? It should have a toolbelt skill

Throw Elixir X – randomly causes the weapons of the recipients to grow twice the size or creates 3 small tornados that travel in a random path.
