ENGINEER BUG LIST

• The well-reported Utility Goggle - Gadgeteer traited version is not applying Resistance properly still.
• Feb 25th, Throw Mine - Gadgeteer traited version is not updated to the new Throw Mine changes. (Still does damage, and presumably removes 1 boon). Tooltip bugged for the 'detonation', even when untraited.
• Compounding Chemicals is applying no boon duration in PvP at least.

Feel free to add obvious and hotfix worthy bugs

Aim-Assisted Rocket: Some missiles doesn't track the target, and head to some random destiny.

Flashbang: The daze a few times (on the first hit when going into combat) does not trigger.

• According to patch notes Big Boomer is to "heal the engineer for 3 seconds at 202 health per second". The tooltip in game reads Big Boomer (3s): 308 Heal and it's healing for 103-104 per tick.

UPDATE - seems there's an unlisted WvW-PvP/PvE split.

Don't see why competitive can't have the full 202/s.

Personal Battering Ram with Gadgeteer gets its old damage back.

SSHHHH

Cleansing field placement (Med kit #3). The field needs to be placed at your location after the cast animation is done and not at the place where you were before the cast animation started.

Only a tooltip bug, but with HGH the Elixir Gun and Mortar elixir skills still show the old might stacks and duration (2 stacks for 15s).

Undescribed bug with blowtorch that we can keep a while longer as its not hotfix worthy

I am testing new explosives trait line with crystal configuration storm for explosion triggering and I am noticing a lot of missed attacks at melee in WvW. Just surrounded by enemies and spamming holo1 with no damage. Arcdps shows massive dps drops. When I change to crystal configuration eclipse damage recover normal levels and no misses. Have you guys experienced with CCstorm in WvW?

I have been doing more testing with ccstorm and I know what happens. As you trait ccstorm the holo1 skill acts as a projectile and tries to face your target when you use it. When you dont have the trait equipped, you will hit enemies in front of you even if you target moves at your back, just as a normal melee weapon. With cctorm traited and a target at your back you will not swing the sword in front of you and, if it tries, you will automatically turn 180º to go for your target. Also, with ccstorm you need to be facing your target and as soon as moves laterally you will start losing damage against other targets that may still be in front of you, losing the nice aoe effect of the holo1 skill.

I dont think this is a bug, but I may suggest the ccstorm trait to make the holo1 skill behave as a melee weapon which launches heat projectiles forward without the need of any target.

Throw Mine: Reduced power coefficient from 2.0 to 0.01. Increased boons removed from 1 to 3.

I think its still at 1 boon removed. man 3 boons is gonna be op in wvw lol...

Scrapper Hammer 2, Electro Whirl, not reflecting projectiles in the FFA arena.Will add more once I either come across more or get more data about suspected bugs.

When equipin Kinetic Stabilizer, Supply Crates stun is reduced from the new 3sec to 21/2 sec

Flashbang daze doesnt increase with Kinetic Stabilizers

Rocket turret attacks does not activate explosive temper and big boomer traits

Intended because it's not inheriting any stats/traits from you :anguished:

as far as i'm aware scrap ham2 electro whirl is still bugged and has been forever.

It's not intended. Rocket turret it's listed as "explotion" and the basics attack activate Steel-Packed Pownder and Shrapnel, therefore, Explosive Temper and Big Boomer should also work with the turret.

True, but it should still proc on explosion traits if the auto does

Yep I agree. If theres anything engineer needs its consistency and less bugs

This is still a persisting issue.

The Rocket Turrets first attack applies the Explosive Temper, but after that initial shot it doesn't.Not even when you destroy the turret.And all of them are supposed to do an explosion.

How is it bugged? What I see is this skill doesn't trigger autoattack. Is that normal or am I missing something? Super frustrating to use this as an opening attack then just stand there doing nothing.

I just tested it - non of the turrets that we manually explode trigger Big Boomer or Explosive Temper.

Edit: a funny fact - Flame Turret toolbelt skill is literally "Throw a ball of napalm that explodes on impact", but it's not an explosion. Meanwhile Electro-whirl is literally just "spin around". I guess we spin around so fast that we split atoms of air causing nuclear explosions?
