Rocket Toolbelt skill
Even better, if you fire it at max range and start running towards the spot you will actually get there before the rocket hits the ground. :p
Edit: That is if it hits the ground at all and not hitting any tree, building or random thing blocking the firing arc.

It’s great in wvw situations when you’re defending a tower or assaulting an enemy siege point. Plus the arc allows for some great setups with things like a grenade barrage.
imagine this landing on an enemy ram with people attacking your tower

That does look sweet, only problem being that except those few situations its completely useless and won’t hit anything because either the rocket hits something on its massive arc to the target area or the enemy has long since moved on before the rocket even lands.
If an enemy sees it coming they have about 6 seconds to react and move out of the way(and like I said above you can literally run to and a few steps beyond the target area before it lands at max range). In PvE it might have some use since NPC’s don’t tend to move around much if they’re in melee range, but used anywhere except in outside areas or places with a -very- high roof its useless because it hits things before ever reaching the target area.
A skill should be useable in PvP, WvW and PvE and not just specific situations in specific places imo.
If they just fix the arc and projectile speed then it would be good. Perhaps make the arc larger the further away you shoot, so at 600 range it would shoot straight out, at 1000 it would have a medium arc and at 1500 it would have the arc it has now, then at least it could be used in other situations than sieges. Or something.
In PvE this works great as a point blank or close range AoE. I love seeing a bunch of 6K’s pop up on the screen. Past more then ~400 range it becomes very situational. I run this in my dungeon setup w/grenades and SD. The turret itself is pretty decent also, its growing on me.
Improvements would be welcome though..
