Now that we have our smokescale back..
You have your smokescale back. Don’t pretend to speak for everyone. A lot of people enjoyed more it with smoke assault as the F2.
I think I have solution [some sort of at least] for smokescale….
lets make it two pets within same family instead but one would have that assault thing as F2 and something instead smoke field for “spammy” abilities and the other one would be f2 to deploy smoke field….
both sides have it their way….
“-Shield is meant to be broken!”
“-and on this occasion I keep mine plate armors”
discussion about offensive/deffensive playstyles

Probably the best solution.

The vast majority were asking for the tactical skill instead the “hit all the buttons as soon as they go out from cool down” one.
also i can’t understand what motive can have the ones that are asking for a brainless burst on command. The logic dictated that the machine is going to be more efficient using that kind of skill that is independent from the environment and is meant only for casting it as soon as is available.
The same logic dictates that one utility skill that is very positional the AI will not be able to use it efficiently. Mostly it will be a liability in form of losing DPS and masking other fields.
Simply i can not find any logic behind the “I want a dummy button to hit as often as i’m able to” . Unless you play ranger occasionally to farm the Mad ’s king lab there is no logical explanation for that. Even the class itself, the ranger and the druid does not work like “i hit 1 to 0 like a piano” … Which could explain why i keep seeing players using the LB#4 like is an AA….
This change is for better, i wish the could do the same for any other pets.. Especially the birds.. I hate to have to keep watching the CD in the F2 of the eagle, i would like so much more if i could have the swiftness there…0

First of all, claiming that these forums represent a vast majority of the Gw2 player base is absurd. Try a tiny fraction.
Second, the burst damage from smokescale WAS tactical, perhaps in a different way than a smokefield, but it allowed for a coordinated burst of damage do down an isolated enemy in PvP. In PvE, the majority of players are casual and probably don’t even know what a combo field, let alone a smoke field, is.
Edit: I should also note that F2 smoke assault had great synergy with WHaO and “Sic Em” which has been totally destroyed by this change.

I agree not many seems know what is a combo field, in PVE and even in WvW very few players blast my fire/water fields, most of the time i have to blast them myself if i can. But the only way for the people to learn is to have the opportunity to do it so. This is how i begin to get curious about the combo fields…
I agree the best solution for everybody is to allow you to choose which skill you want
in the F2 slot, that would be great. I like more to have the healing screech from the moas on command instead whenever it feel like.
But given the choice of one is better to have the smoke field on command instead the pet casting it whenever it feels like, that is always on the worst possible moment. Basically the most annoying skill to have it on command to you can use it when is really useful and not at random.
Who wouldn’t be happy with the birds to have the swiftness in F2 and the actual F2 handled by the AI?
lulwut? This is a terrible change. Nerf application of go for the eyes and Wilting strike by 400% for some superfluous swiftness?
You can also use the F2 on hawk/eagle to cancel out the kittenty swoop and swiftness skills as well as use them right after a normal attack for added burst.
No thanks…

You can cancel by pressing F3 as far as I remember (dawg master race…) and then press f1.

Clueless. You can still do that just as well. Even easier in some cases. Two less hits will not make a huge difference.
The skill is still capable of hitting for 10k.
Please leave the bristleback as it is. The only change it needs is the ability to cope with slopes on its burst attack. Otherwise, it is just right.
