Scrapper needs a WvW buff, its not mobile enough for roaming, is hardcountered by trailblazer gear and completely outclassed by other classes in both DPS, Support and hybrid in Largescale fights.

I think a nice buff that would benefit scrappers large scale potential would be making Slick Shoes viable again. It would provide nice AoE CC combo with elixir S while maintaining the superspeed theme of a Scrapper.

nerfs that were made to scrapper so far: Hammer 2,3,4,5, bulwark gyro, medic gyro, healing turret, stealth gyro, slick shoes, 3 scrapper traits, 1 invention trait.
Indirect nerf: Necro boon corrupt buff (both axe 3 and greatsword 4), these changes hurt scrapper a lot as boon reliant class.

I find that Scrapper got nerfed so much that it needs a buff to be viable in WvW again (outside pulling commanders).

Engineer/Scrapper is lip-stick on a pig in WvW. You’ll fool somebody, sometime. Just don’t wind up fooling yourself that it’s pretty; it’s nasty.

The last few balance patches show that they are fine with it’s current state. Good luck arguing that isn’t the case. Maybe if they added 60 or so random 400 radius cap circles all over the place on each map that you had to 1v1 in you might have a chance at being viable again (besides commander pulling). (Maybe even start a Pokemon battle too once an enemy sneaks into your neck of the woods)
