Hi forum people!
So during all the revelations over the week, it was my understanding that a lot of the profession attributes (Tool Belt Recharge Rate for Engi) would be made partially baseline and the other part would be rolled into the minor traits of their respective trait lines.
Maybe I missed something in a Anet live stream, but it seems every other class had their profession attribute added in as a minor trait in their former profession attribute trait line. Engineer, however, had its recharge rate reduction replacing a minor trait that was already in place.
Not going to make assumptions or anything. Who knows what these interesting new changes to Engineer will bring to its overall balance? Maybe the awesomeness of the changes to Engi will make that replaced trait unnecessary.
So overall, I’m just curious why it wasn’t just added in, instead of replacing an existing minor trait. Probably just something I missed in a Ready Up. Hahaha.
TLDR: Inertial Converter got replaced by profession attribute, while some or most other professions had theirs added in to existing minor traits.
