Noobtub yes that works
Ah might just be me then cause within 40 sec kiting a group trying to live I was able to use it like 10 times in a row.
Alright so as much as I love engineer over every other class and have mained it since I pretty much started this game we have a balance issue that may not impact others in a good way. First I want to say I love the new Gadgeteer trait, but AED mixed with Gadgeteer trait is a problem when you throw in the heal cd reset in Inventions. Let me explain a tad bit so what happens is you Precast AED around 50% overcharge if possible. The damage you take while its delayed will drop you to your heal cd reset meaning you can cast AED again! for two burst heals that will each have a delay meaning if you get bursted from almost 100% back to 0 the second AED will burst heal you. With enough kiting your trait will reset again. With this combo I was able to 1v2 and 1v2 within 20 sec or so of each other and win both. Well as much as I love this and how I think AED was supposed to be it should prob be looked at.
Or could end up being a lot of burning but a trait that allows it to scale from power instead of condition damage as part of the base specialization would make a bit more sense.
Im gonna make a norn engnieer now for snow leopard egg

Does this mean with the grenade range nerf engineers stopped working out?

Fantastic deal is Tera Online. Or soon Wildstar.
Wildstar was terrrrribleee
After the patch:
engis being able to reduce the duration of their heal by half when using medkit (there is a trait that resets cooldown on the next toolbelt skill after you evade) and the fact that they can now have more dodges than sd thieves (adrenal implant is now the same as permanent vigor AND you have vigor on top of that. So up to 200% endurance Regen, whereas for sd it is now 175% at most. Hope that I got these numbers right).
Mesmer stealth and protection uptime from the chaos line (HUGE uptime on both just from the traits in this one line).
Eles now having dhumfire (just joking – even though eles do have essentially what used to be the GM dhumfire trait on necros as a minor, noone will care cause on eles the trait being minor is actually justified, given how strong everything else is).
I am sure there will be a lot more broken stuff now, these would be just obvious ones.
100% is the cap and you also have to go into an entire trait line and grab that over 2 other very good looking traits atm for a few more dodges better off just grabbing energy sigil.
Can’t you have a toss elixir R every 20 seconds?
Screw quad lasers, that’s about a 50% uptime of resurrection fields!
And what’s Elixir R’s main utility skill?
Free dodges! So you can proc the skill pretty much whenever you want.Elixer R will be insanely good with this trait.
Anet repeating the mistakes of the past, even when they say they are on high alert.
“We are being very careful with how we give out alacrity, because messing with recharge times caused big trouble in the past.”
Instead, they implement a way to circumvent hella-long CD’s completely, that will either lead to this trait or elixir R being nerfed into oblivion, and will always cause trouble as long as it has this capability.
well for the chronomancer alacrity you get it while doing basic rotations and don’t even have to think about it you just get the buff, while engineer sure its gonna be powerful it will just require you to actively reset a cd by timing and choosing either to blast both at once or blast one and save the other for a another burst if the first one fails.
My guess is of course a powerweapon with access too single and some aoe damage perhaps a slight bit of utility and a different function for a heavy hammer type weapon in the form of mobility(rockets and all) Medium armor in melee is no fun when you dont have stealth or escapes that can get you in and out on a whim.

To be honest i feel the blast finisher on dodge trait should be an adept or w/e and swap glass cannon to grandmaster with a rework of 5% more damage to targets below 90% 10% damage at 50% and 15% more damage 25% and lower. Would be worth of a grandmaster.
What I think they could have done was allow turrets too heal for a percent of how much damage they did of how much damage you do with toolkit. Wouldn’t be so passive as long as you are within the effective area you could keep them alive in combat only if you are doing damage.
Ricochet could be added to the elite specialization trait line if it ends up being rifle might be rifle and pistol shots ricochet adding more of a ranged gun slinger type specialization?
Nope 5% nerf back too what It was is all good again because 5% stat increase would have been amazingly superior to exotic!!! just insane dps boosts just stick with exotic i suppose !
I don’t see a big deal with the newbies getting a bit more for the cost. They wont have the legendaries I have the skins I have the gold I have saved the AP titles etc.. I will be starting HOT with pretty much max everything and best gear possible while they will be lvling to reach HOT content I will already be completing it. Some of the things I have gotten will never be obtainable to the newer players and that is fine with me.
Because you(a 3 years old player) owe something to new players ?
Wait; this must mean that I owe something to 2 years old players ?
And they owe something to 1 years old players.OWEception.
No as a long time player I am not owed anything I only have what I have worked for in game. I am fine with new players getting the base game that way they can increase our player base. It doesn’t bother me when I buy HOT that I don’t get anything extra because I already have all the awesome stuff from playing over the course of release till now.
You are the first one to give me an answer that doesn’t tick me off.
Thank you.
NP I feel the stuff we have been given has been fun and interesting enough to put forth cash for expac that I can expect the same or more from. Heck I might buy 2 preorders.

People continue to ignore the FACT that there are a lot of players who haven’t been around for the full 2.5 years the game has been out. Some people bought 2 months ago in anticipation of the xpac. I’m sure they don’t all have 50000 gold and 8 legendaries and they haven’t been able to play LS1 or LS2. This kicks them in the face way harder than the long time players.
As it should we long time players are rewarded with the best looking cosmetics and a huge headstart.

Jesus Christ… I can’t even write a constructive comment right now due to all the rage I’m feeling…I’ll just come back later.
Well this is the generation of people that feel entitled to having things for free or paying less too get more. Making a good game costs money as people that want this game too continue we should be happy to do what we can to keep it going. Imagine if anet said we have decided not to release HOT and are shutting down the gw2 servers because of financial trouble would people flock to help?

I am going to buy 2 copies
I was looking through Streamlined Kits and the effective loss of swiftness uptime there was an unintended consequence of Kit Refinement being packed together with Speedy Kits. I’ve gone ahead and changed the swiftness from Streamlined Kits to a 20s duration.
This is awesome ! Is there anyway you guys can keep kit refinement section from proccing only while in combat? Just an idea
I honestly love the new changes the tools line feels more unique and more like a trait line you take to improve your gimmicks,gadgets, and toolbelt.
Some fixes though!
Gadgeteer: Allow the charges to build 1 charge per hit taken no cd with a max stack of 25 charges or allow us to build a charge per hit we do. Most people that use gadgets will use them in a combo one right after another only having one overcharged every kittens will reduce the amount of combinations that can be pulled off with highest results.
Take down round: Allow this to be a blast finisher or allow it to benefit from the short fuse trait so we have a choice to trait for extra spike or having our spike from takedown round hit more often on people that dont pay attention.
The new speedy kits: Keep the swiftness boost every 10 sec the kit refinement section should only proc while in combat.

People just want everything for free I would like to see anet give us a free expac and then we can watch as we get no content for years because they lost out on funds from players that supposedly love and want too support the game were greedy. If you don’t want to spend money you don’t have too. I know I will be enjoying the expac when it comes out.
I am pretty sure that 90% of the players that play GW2 atm are WILLING to pay for this xpack but the amount of content we are getting with HoT is simply not WORTH 44 euro’s!!! If this HoT xpack was 30 euro’s i would be happy to give Anet my money, but if Anet keeps the price at 44 euro’s they will not recieve a dime from my side and i am pretty sure a LOT of GW2 players are thinking the same way…
I suppose thats reasonable, but coming from being a vanilla wow player through panda expac I feel 50 dollars is nothing for content we get and content and things we will get after release I am sure they have stuff to release in the works months down the line. That 50 dollars is nothing compared to 40 dollars a wow or similar game expansions plus 15 bucks a month tacked on for content that you blow through in weeks or sometimes days.

Honestly its a trait that may not even be used that much in a trait line that before this overhaul suffered greatly compared to the others. Tools actually has a good feel and set of traits that actually are useful now who knows how good the other traits that compete with it are the new speedy kits that is almost mandatory or takedown round that spawns an explosive at their feet with a very low cd for extra aoe? I will most likely take takedown round because its an extra aoe burst with a low cd just for hitting someone at above 50% rather than a reveal trait.
Ugh if content is that important too you just go play world of warcrap enjoy paying 15 bucks a month or any other game with a monthly payment that requires you to spend everyday like a job too keep up. Good luck:)
Perhaps if all you want is pvp you should look into another game with a great combat system although off the top of my head I can’t think of any with combat with the same pace.
Well there’s Smite. Might actually go and play it again. Hell might even throw them €25 to have all the current and future gods unlocked.
Well there you go mabye after a break you might change your mind and check this game out again I know I spend some time on another game for a tad bit when I come back to gw2 something feels new. You could have just burned yourself out too quickly.
support the game
Theres no reason for pvper to support this game for the joke balance decisions (buffed engi, mes and thief, nerfed necro into delete state) and poor matchmaking along with removal of soloq and other stuff.
Well I am sorry too hear that. I pvp,pve, and wvw so I get the full game experience. Perhaps if all you want is pvp you should look into another game with a great combat system although off the top of my head I can’t think of any with combat with the same pace. I wouln’t even go back to wow after this game ditched it after 7 years, because of the stale combat and constant daily torture of mashing 2 buttons.
I still feel it should grant you charges on crits you apply rather than being hit allowing you too stack up to 25 charges so you can use gadgets quickly after each other without waiting for another kittens to charge one.
So people are already wanting to quit before they even try out the new stuff? It might end up being better than it is atm. Sure its a ton of changes and its gonna feel new, but hell give it a chance. As for the price if you like the game 50 bucks is nothing for a game that is free to play with extra content that will be coming out as well. You should be happy to pay and support the game if they make no money we don’t get content I am happy to support this game heck I even buy gems when I can.
I wish i knew why people complained about a trait like this when some of the new traits such as bunker down are very very powerful every 2 sec a mine and a medbag? hell even the new gadget trait with AED?! 20 sec cd for an overcharged version not to mention the actual overcharge ability with it that we have yet too see pretty much a 12k heal on a 20 sec cd if used properly.
crossing my fingers for mine to become a spider mine that charges your target with an overcharge
I kind of like this trait it is kind of useless for almost every other non stealth class, but I can see where it will be a problem with that low cd. I would like too keep the trait but I feel it should be a bit weaker than the normal analyze like 4 sec of reveal to stay on par with normal reveal and mabye bring it down to 5 stacks of vuln. I have never had trouble finding teefs in stealth ever I use the ingame sound to listen for bunker down procs if it procs I know I am hitting them. Good trait just needs a tone down to keep from completely destroying a stealther off the bat.
Engineer’s.. no debate
And you have to think, as If Engineer’s are direly in need of buffs for being in the meta.
LOL.
Actually engineers did need some buffs ,but only power builds that were lacking it was always better to go hybrid. I think the changes were nice so now we can really make that glass cannon that can destroy someone.
Sirens
Specters
Plague Doctors
or skrittbringer would be cool..
I think the grandmaster for guard with prot needs to be removed and replaced with a 20% trap cd reduction mabye if it also allows your symbols to bleed on ticks?
White Rabbit, Time burglar, looper
Grail Knight? sounds good to me
For that grandmaster trait with protection i feel its really weak and I feel bleeds on traps just isnt enough for a condi option I feel it should also allow the virtues should also apply bleeding to targets that are burning within an certain area or allow your critical hits to stack bleeds on targets that are burning for a bit more condi application while your long cd traps are down
I like the dragon hunter the new play style is fresh for a heavy armor class as well as having a weapon that can deal nice burst and the capability to stack tons of condi oh and the reveal 25 stacks of vuln because i hate theifs and mesmers
Warrior physical skills
Shadow Piercer could have worked you know lots of light fighting evil firing arrows pierce stuff get it?
Thank goodness you dont have that power. Whining is a good things for the devs too, as it allows them to get feedback on things, sure it might not sound to great, but it is feedback.
Feed back is good if it is done in the right way rather than just complaining about it without giving reason why it doesn’t sound acceptable.
I am not exactly enjoying how much people are whining about the new specialization reveals or anything else that has to do with HOT in that matter. We should be happy we are getting info on it anet doesn’t even have to show us specialization they could just make us wait till expac is out and we have to figure it out ourselves. I trust anet will put out some great stuff I have no doubt about it, but with players complaining as much as they do it would make me not want to show you guy anything if I had that power.
You do realize you dont have to use the longbow? and your class still has a weapon swap so you can go longbow/gs and use the traps for area denial and youll have access to new mobility.
