You can swap out of egun so the acid bomb does not launch you backwards just in place. I also feel like the 15% chance to bleed/cripple is really weak I know your throwing 3 nades and max 3 targets, but as a elite trait I feel like it’s very unpowered unless your camping nades all day. Invention do give you thing that other classes don’t unless your just looking at the minor traits.
Stealth helps breaks target and engi dps is good but when your making a wvw comp you got to think of what that class is putting into the mix. Also the explosive trait line isn’t do much for you…. the only reason you took it was for nades where something else could be used like egun #3 to remove 25 conditions total from your group also acid eg #4 with hammer 5 can do some good aoe dps. Personal I like mortar for that time when your not in melee range to still have some damage. I’m guessing that is why you took nades too. Trait wise I would take inventions over explovsives you get your heal back at 25% hp and you can also take MDF in inventions to heal your party more.
Personal rude I’m too in love with my healing turret for pvp and solo roaming in wvw to want a buff to medkit, but that is just me and blast gyro has it’s place in small man, and the healing gyro gets out done by healing turret atm.
Danir you could easy work the idea of a aoe party buff into a technology side of things.
O, I have a gadget on my arm that puts this aoe buff onto my party and gives X.
I would of picked Guard or rev over Engi any day. The only thing engi added was a little superspeed and a moving water that really mattered and stealth for rezzing I guess.
-Rifle buff so it’s a good match to pick hammer or rifle
-Shield rework
-Remove cast time on all toss elixirs besides X
-Rework Gadgets, Turrets <- that will never happen
-One hand power weapon Mace/Axe is needed for power shield to work
-Party wide buff- Could be a vitally buff that no other class has it, but I personal don’t want that.
-Rework Backpack regenerator and inversion enzyme Traits I’m not even sure anyone uses them
-Rework some traits [Glass Cannon<- If you get touched by dps you lose this, Steel-packed powder, shaped charge <- Rev minor trait is this, short fuse <- make this base line, rework all master trait for explosives so they are effect.Reactive lenses, Gadgeteer, shorter cd on kinetic battery,soothing detonation,expert examination.
Now time to list the things that scrapper gives that other front line classes can’t.
-Lighting Fields
-Water fields~2 on short cd
-Slick shoes cc
-Poisons fields
-Ice fields
-Light field that binds
-Aoe Blinds when traited
-Magnet
-Ranged pressure~ not counting guard staff
Here is the list of things that I think Engineer does better or about the same as other front line.
-Aoe Regen
-Wall of Reflection
-Aoe fury and swiftness from pack runes~war
-Strong condition removal-HT
I would like to bring up a bug that I don’t think is very well known, and that is all of the Toss Elixir Skills can be Absorbed/Reflected/Destroyed. This sounds good for Elixir X, but why does Boon/Support Toss Elixirs have this behavior? Also there is some odd behavior with Toss Elixir U, where is you throw it behind you at max range and then run forward the skill will say that it’s out of range and not do anything.
This story is not alive it changes none thing, It’s not living and breathing it’s dead and it’s there if you want it. If no one wanted to go to Eotm and a sever lost every time during a week the supply at their home BL does not make that much of a difference to take people away from WvW. The only changes I have seen living story do to gw2 is take people away from wvw, Eotm and most of the living storys have no lasting effect on the world at all.
