Guild Wars 2

I’d like to propose a change to Rocket Kick changing it to Rocket Leap.

Movement options seem to be a big thing right now and I’d like to propose this change to help the class out with movement.

Sure we have Elixir Gun for backwards jumping but I’d like to propose this as an additional backwards jump because not every build uses Elixir Gun.

Leap backward, causing an explosion that Burns nearby foes.

Damage: 302 (0.85)?
Number of Targets: 5
Duration: Instant
Radius: 180
Distance: 550
Combo Finisher: Leap
Unblockable

Wait a minute.. I’m having a sincere sense of deja vu…

We STARTED with Rocket Boots being a backward leap. That was horrible. HORRIBLE. Nothing needs to launch you BACKWARDS 600 units, where you can’t even stop yourself from falling off of a cliff.

Please, no. Just no. It could be argued that the Rocket Kick needs a little bit more range on it (Half of the time I use it, I’m /JUST/ short of nailing a sucker, or the attack entirely clips through because of how close I had to get to the mob), but it DOES NOT need to throw me backwards.

Kusumura, the original rocket jump was a self lunch, this sounds more like an actual leap. Also rocket kick is the toolbelt skill and not the main utility skill rocket jump.

Personally, I’m fine with this idea. I belive that rocket kick feels clunky and should be polished a bit. However, I think a backwards evade is more fitting than leap.

I’m talking about the toolbelt skill Rocket Kick.

The main skill would remain a leap forward, but the Rocket Kick serves really no purpose but to add yet another burn, so changing it to a toolbelt backwards leap would add an additional movement option for engineers.

Evade would be nice actually especially since that’s what I was aiming for in this idea.

I know it’s the toolbelt skill he’s talking about.

That’s doesn’t make it any more nor any less unwieldy than the original backwards launch/leap was. It’s effectively the same thing. You smack the button, it moves you backwards to some spot you can’t see, then you curse when you realise you’ve just dumped yourself with a ten minute walk back to wherever you mistakenly suicided from.

Tomato, tomato, let’s call the whole thing off. And that’s what happened to George.

Rocket Jump shouldn’t do any damage, and should move a bit further.
Rocket Kick shouldn’t do any damage, but evade and break stun.

so you can jump in, drop several bombs, then jump back out to where you where? :P
