Guild Wars 2

I know this is very close of release, but Anet did say changes will be made to the specs after HoT came out, so I wanted to see what you guys think.

I have seen many comments talking about the Purger Gyro’s toolbelt skill, which felt a bit out of place. So, I was thinking of a possible way of making it a better fit for the theme that also helps engineer as a whole.

And this is the idea: Make the toolbeelt skill a AoE condi remove. It can be the same skills “Gyro overloads cleansing pods removing 1 condi from 5 people”.

This not only will give engineer a bit more condi clear which, by the gods its always appreciated, but also gives engi more utility in WvW.

What do you guys think? Sorry if someone else already mentioned it and I missed it.

Honestly The toolbelt wasn’t awful, but doesn’t fit into the gyro theme. I feel if they wanted to keep it somewhat of a acidic mix of chemicals that are vented out it should be another aoe around you just like the medic gyro toolbelt. I feel a nice change would be to apply pulsing resistance to yourself, your gyros, and your team mates while also damaging and stripping boons from your enemies or corrupting one boon per pulse. One more idea was for the self buffs instead of resistance is too actually convert conditions into boons per pulse as well.

I’d like to have a purge only absorb all the conditions, also he should get 1 sec resistance per sec. This way he can soak up all the conditions. The toolbelt should then inflict those conditions in a small area.

Purge and shredder are the underwhelming ones. I probably will never use them the way they currently are.

Your purge Gyro suggestion is a nice direction for the skill.

And I agree about these two. These are the worst Gyros. Worst than even blast Gyro.

If blast gyro can crit now and the CD is “just” 20, it may have it’s uses. Especially since it’s toolbelt is now a stunbreak.

The purge one just feels like a portable null field wich makes it a pure defensive skill. The problem with that is that I’d rather take the EG and use #5 on myself or #3 on allies and still being able to dish out tons of damage with #4. +stunbreak :P

The toolbelt of the purge is just so laughtable weak, a no direct damage poison field with only a few tics is just … cute :/ combined the skill AND it’s toolbelt leave just a crappy skill. Some AWESOME stuff would be nice. Not op or ultra strong, just something unique that can shine in specific situations.
