Silly ideas, I know.

I quite like it. Just grandmaster traits are bit meh. Also what we need is bit more team support and those ideas have quite space for it

Glad you like it and yea, coming up with interesting GMs can be hard. I decided to go with enhancing the playstyles I was trying to create. So for instance, gaining quickness on daze / interrupt allows you to finish channelling much faster, boosting Crescendo’s effectiveness or allowing you to pull off your heals much quicker if you use Good Vibrations. Or if you were to take Sonic Boon, it allows you to just hit harder from both a condi perspective and a pure damage perspective.

And also, your complaint allowed me to figure out where I wanted to put the might stacking heh! I edited Sonic Boon for some more offensive support.

I really like the idea, and it seems to cover the weak area of engineers: strong team support. The only real issues I have with it is those stuns seem kinda long, but at the same time a lot of the skills rely on hard cc so no idea for that.

The other nitpick is I see a decent amount of conditions from the skills can be applied like you pointed out with Sonic Boon, but no trait synergy with them for being a hybrid-ish trait line. Look at the Firearms trait line, it has synergy with the bleed stacks that can be applied. What I would say is move some traits around so that some hybrid traits can be put in. I don’t know, something like:

Master Trait – White Canary: Whenever you inflict poison, inflict fear and blindness. (X cooldown)

GrandMaster Trait – Gas Pocket: Attacking someone with a poison condition applies burning to all foes near the target. (x cooldown)

Regardless, I do like the idea.

I like everything except the weapon swap. Good work!

Hm, I saw your feedback and tweaked Head Ringer to have a synergy with confusion application alongside dazing and stunning. So when you apply confusion, you also deal direct damage, emphasizing the hybrid spec and synergizing with Sonic Boon!.
