Remove EG Stunbreak, Love Gadgets
What are you asking for is to make Kits without stunbreaker and Gadgets with 3.
That’s not going to happen.
One of the nicest buffs we’ve ever had, and it’s being advocated for removal.
Gadgets already have two stunbreakers anyways, why do they need three? Part of the changes they made in the past was to distribute the stun breakers more evenly, which is why they removed one from rocket boots (also because they changed how that works) and elixir R (poor elixir R), and gave them to thumper turret and elixir gun.
Rocket kick is also not useless. It’s a nice source of low cooldown AoE burning that works perfectly after baiting out an enemy dodge. Unlike things like incendiary powder, it’s less likely to proc on a clone, minion, or random critter that gets in the way as well. Rocket boots also has a much lower cooldown than something like roll for initiative, so I don’t think the comparison is as simple as you’re making it out to be.
If they did this, all it would do is make current builds weaker, and no one would focus on using gadgets for the most part.
The stun breaker was added because we had no kits with a stun breaker. At leat that is how i understand it.
I don’t believe nerfing elixir gun will make people use gadgets more for their stun break. Gadgets already had a chance to become useful when they were given a gm trait, yet it was blown when gadgeteers effect was shown. I’m sure I’m not the only one whose first reaction was “what the heck does gadgeteering have to do with boons??” Lots of ways to get people to play gadgets and the devs decie magically getting a boon for no reason would be what gadgeteers do? My point is gadgets will continue to be a largely unoticed part of engineers until they get real traits . If I want boons ill drink elixir b and go into alchemy tyvm and I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks this way
I agree with the Rocket Boots but EG definitely needs one as well however I feel that they should make #4 a stun breaker since it removes us from the vicinity pretty quickly.
