Slyven.8637 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I have an idea of making it a ranged option for the Holosmith but it's operation is the basic attacks generate heat and the 5th ability is the "prime light beam" which needs 50% + heat tooperate, be like a heat purge, kit swapping also alot of different combat requires both ranged and melee and this could work to fill in the gap.I'd expect it to be similar to the rifle in mechanics except hopefully the skill 4 wouldn't give yourself a knockback.Ideas? seems nice? or excessive? or the mechanic of sustained Holosmith hmm "holoification" be to overpowered?I'd like it to be made with mechanics that would allow an engineer to be a viable part of raiding and pve and the WvW environment providing a meaningful group function.My operation idea.Skill 1 - Piercing plasma shot. - generates x amount of heat-Skill2 - Light tether "moderate cc ability" - generates x amount of heat-Skill 3 - Force shield generator "creates a reflective wall in front of the engineer but makes you immobile while channeled generates -x- amount of heat per second" (allies traveling through this shield could have a condition or two "burned off")Skill 4 - Vortex shot- Expends heat to create a knockback effect but player is immobile while discharging.Skill 5- is of course the prime light beam.these skills power/damage is determined by how much heat is vented.The weapon itself doesn't generate passive heat though.

Vagrant.7206 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Nope, nope, nope.We have enough kits already, especially with PF essentially acting as a 5th kit. Prime light beam is finally an elite skill worthy of being called that. Please don't gimp it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSPINE.7845 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Too much xD I think Prime Light Beam is best designed skill of the Holo and hope it'll never change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hock.6740 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 leave PLB just as it is now, or may be tweak it in dmg / cast time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyven.8637 Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Hmm maybe have 2 choices in the elite skills, 1 it is how it is atm and then you can decide to use the elite kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use Photon Forge if you want a kit that feels elite. Use PLB if you want a good elite skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krag.6210 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 In my opinion, Photon forge should have been an Elite kit and Prime Light Beam the Elite Toolbelt Skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
