If there is one thing that I would change it would be that we should not always fall on our butts when we use certain skills such rocket boots or over charge. it is like we get a 1 to 2 second self inflicted stun/knockdown when we use these skill.

Regardless they are still fun to use in a fight. I love flying all over the place. Sometime I watch myself fly over the edge of a cliff. I can’t help but laugh as I watch myself plummet to my death.

This is my basic setup and I am having a blast (pun intended :P )

Lot of vulnerabilities with the under appreciated rocket kick, followed by a blunderbuss, jump-shot then over-charge. Lots of acrobatics there.

Is it the best probably not but it is fun for me – well back to the grind we call life :/

For one, it breaks us out of immobilize, so i’m all for falling on mykitten for a second instead of being stuck in place :p

I used to have the same build as you, but the toolbelt elixirs got obnoxious with their RNG effects.

I use rifle + gadgets.
Battering Ram is a great ranged cripple + a knockback.
Rocket Kick toolbelt is an awesome combination with Blunderbuss.
I still use Elixir S though, it saved my life more times then i can remember.
+ Its Toolbelt skill provides Stability, wich makes you immune to your own knockbacks cause from Overcharge, haven’t tested rocket boots though.

Mojo are you running this build in Orr? I’ve always found that I’m too squishy without a shield and the extra toughness trait. Care to share your traits/stat spread?

Thanks for the tips. I will have to test them out.

I don’t mind, those skills are already really good. However, I’d really appreciate it if Rocket Boots cleared CC -before- it fired, because trying to break anything but stun with it only makes things worse. You wind up going nowhere, and just replace your slow/root with a stun.

Nevermind, I think I realised you were talking about PvP far too late.
