So scrapper useless in wvw?
I commanded with this during the last beta weekend. Scrapper is more than capable in the frontline. You just have to know how to position yourself.
Yes they can and there not useless heres why….
Firstly, I highly doubt you have everything unlocked already cause its only been a few hours so you need to unlock everything before you badmouth it. second, when I used it during BWE3 I literally did not lose any roaming fights and at least half of them were outnumbered.
Thats roaming though, in zergs, you need to use stability for a T2 trait that grants might every second u have stab so if theres guards putting out stab your gaining might. heal gyro has a mobile water field that will move with you which if coordinated correctly(which im assuming you didn’t do w your zerg) can be EXTREMELY effective for on the move healing.
Next, you have adaptive armor at the end of the traitline in the GM slots which can give you 500 armor and -20% condi damage as long as you keep getting hit pair it with hoelbrak runes, lemongrass soup, mecha legs, your next to immune to condis. Another thing in the second tier of traits rapid regen gives you almost 500 Heal Per Second when u got super speed and almost 150 w swiftness paired with backpack regen and the boon regeneration itself your looking at almost 950 Heal Per Second in a kit.
And finally, your entire hammer weapon set is utilities, the 2 reflects and whirl finishes, the 3 is a 3-point evade and chase/escape tool, the 4 is a 2 second block for an initial push, and 5 is an AoE stun and lightning field for dazing leaps. Also the hammer is not clunky its faster than it was in the beta and i can keep up w my warrior buddy who uses a nike build now and also its a hammer not a dagger so its gonna have a wind up to swing the thing.
So before you say something sucks, unlock everything and then take these steps to ensure your correct:
beta test it
