Guild Wars 2

EDIT: I misunderstood the trait… see posts below

When I first read about the trait I (maybe all of us) saw the nice synergy with Flamethrower + Juggernaut trait. But now when I look at the actual numbers, I’m a little bit underwhelmed.
It only gives you 1 stack of Might for 5 s.
The Juggernaut trait has a 3 s interval, so in the end you will just have 2 extra stacks, with Might/Boon duration maybe 3.
The Stability form the Scrapper GM trait Perfectly Weighted has also kitten ICD.
In my opinion the might duration from Mass Momentum should be increased or give it more stacks.
But on the other side this trait also has a stat conversation (10 % Toughness to Power) and if you compare it to another Engineer Master trait Pinpoint Distribution… well this has only a 10 % conversation…
I don’t know guys. What is your opinion this?

They need to either increase the might duration to 10 seconds or leave it at 5 seconds and also have it apply the might to nearby allies as well(radius 600, make it engi’s version of PS).

Yea it’s very underwhelming, nothing to be excited about. Useless without FT and Juggernaut. Rapid Regeneration is a better alternative for me.

A HGH build would give better might sustain, and you don’t have to camp Flamethrower to get there. Irenio did say that boon duration would make the trait better but:

HGH with strength runes: 20s -> 29s might
Mass Momentum with strength runes: 5s -> 7.25s might, a mere 2.25 second increase

And as with the Juggernaut trait, having such a low might duration/might generation ratio means every second you spend outside of flamethrower you will keep losing might stacks. It’s not good for a frontline build at all

Yeah the hammer autoattack stacks might faster than this trait does.

Actually u can swap out of the Flamethrower between the Might intervalls and swap back in just before you get the next stacks so it still applies the boons.

I’m not sure you have the way Mass Momentum works right. You might, but I don’t think you do.

It says while you have stability you gain might. Interval 1 second. To me this means as long as you have stability you will get 1 stack of might every second. So you would be able to maintain 5 stacks for having perma stability. It’s not tied to the pulse interval of Juggernaut in any way. Similarly the hammer trait Perfectly Weighted combined with this trait would give you 3 stacks of might total.

It would be nice if it were longer, I agree. I just think it adds a little more than you have calculated OP.

This is correct. 7 Stacks with some Boon duration.

So about 15 – 16 perma stacks if you camp Juggernaut.

Ah yeah I see. Thx for the clarification. Hm.. with perma stability you would get 5 stacks of Might extra and with boon duration 7+
Not bad…

Actually, it is bad, just for another reason.

To be worthy of use, it needs to be AoE and the power bonus 20% of toughness.

Or something like that. And since I know that all this is unlikely to happen, I rather see it replaced by something more useful.
