After playing for about 3 hours, I unfortunatly have to say I don’t really see a benefit to play as a scrapper instead of my current condition engi.
Gyro’s
In my current build in mainly pve environments i am able to play very mobile, with constant changes of type of attacks and ranges, and with a nice amount of condi/ dmg pressure.
Seriously, why would I swap that for some Gyro’s that don’t really help me playing fast and diverse? I can see u guys want some skills here for certain specific group (raid?) mechanics. However in current pve I don’t see any role for the Gyro’s, even when they are fixed, when i have to choose over Kits and Gyro’s.
Ok, honestly the purge gyro can help save me and i really hope the healing gyro can get some tweaks to give me serious mobile healing.
Hammer
In general I liked the hammer, however the range of the hammer skills and the lack of serious kiting makes it a difficult weapon to be competitive when everything is jumping around. The dmg output in general seemed ok with the hammer (ok, is not better than condi dmg with 2 pistols).
I felled underwelmed as it goes for defense. Why would I stand in front with my hammer as the 3 heavy armors can do that much better? Sure I used the tank traits however I felled squishy during every fight.
Traits
As said already above for the current conditions engi and more pve focused engi the traits don’t really benefit over the existing traits. The flamethrower juggernaut option with all the might stacks however is joyable
Suggestions
Gyro’s
- I honestly don’t know, the mechanics are to much limiting to prefer them over kits. So to make a real difference they need a serious overhaul.
Hammer
- Tweak the range of the hammer a little bit so we can kite better, also helps to stand a little bit behind the heavy tanks and feel less squishy.
- fix #3
- give engi’s a trait or skill to actually glue to the target (or a weapon swap so we glue them ;p ).
Traits
- give engis 1 minor trait that is actually useful in pve.
- get some synergy in the traitline with all those wonderfull conditions we have.
