Taits: 10/10
all great, might even need some small nerfs such as add an ICD to Expert Examination and Stabilization Core or lower adaptive armor to 80 toughness per stack.
Hammer: 7/10
Auto attack chain has WAY to much delay between each attack. Smacking an invulnerable golem I was able to get 19 auto chains in one minute, which is TERRIBLE when the whole auto chain has a 1.5s cast time on the tooltip. In comparison I was able to get 18 tool kit auto chains in 1 minute which has 33% LONGER cast time because the whole chain has 2s cast on tooltip. The auto attack also connects to targets at 170 range, so why not change the attack to attempt to auto attack at that range instead of 130. Skills 1, 2, and 4 have a hard time hitting a player moving away from you even when they are listed as in range, could be related to latency as I play between 50-90 ping. The leap skill is awesome as it has 3 leap finishers and evade time on it, however when used on a close target the 2nd leap will take you way past your target most the time and miss. The animation feels really clunky and slow and provides no movement increase out of combat compared to just a player running with swiftness and I am fairly sure it takes longer then 1.75 sec to cast the whole chain of leaps and you are rooted for a very short duration at the end of the final leap. Skills 2, 4, and 5 feel great and work great other than the tracking fleeing targets.
Gyros: 4/10
1st and foremost Function Gyro needs to be able to be bound to it’s own key like how aoe loot can be while still functioning with the ‘f’ key. We need to be able to use the function gyro when in close range to target so for some examples we would be able double stomp, use it with Stabilization core to gain stability while we are stomping, or double rez without having to walk away from our target to summon the gyro then walk back to target to rez. Gyros tend to have minds of their own and deviate from their task; I have summoned function gyro many times to stomp someone and watched it just float around a few seconds as if pondering if it really wants to stomp them before attempting to stomp them. There is an upside to function gyro AI though: I have seen it use it’s 15 second duration before and stomp a foe, then go over to stomp another or rez an ally(this is great behavior). I think function gyro having low hp is fine.
Bulwark gyro is a solid gyro and has a solid toolbelt skill on a solid cooldown; no complaints for it.
Blast gyro, really? I am using a hammer, why would I want to push my target away. How about remove blast gyro and give us a cripple gyro that is beefy and follows the tagged enemy around and does very low damage and cripples them for 2 seconds every 4 seconds or something of that nature.
Purge gyro has good potential, didn’t use, but have read has terrible AI since it has an attack? I personally think it would be neat if it had high hp like a player and instead of curing condis it transferred them to itself and when it dies it would release all of the condis remaining on it to enemies near it.
Shredder gyro: haven’t used it, probably would only use on stationary high hp bosses like tequatl or on a capture point in spvp. maybe give it a boon rip every 3 seconds since shredder?
Stealth Gyro: Just make it where gyro will always keep up with the scrapper and never let the scrapper out it’s 300 range.
All of the gyros have pretty good toolbelt skills and decent cooldowns.
