AmberUK.5380 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I seem to loose charge when I go on my mount. Means I never seem to gain enough charge for it to kick in - I use this in WvW. Is this as intended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant.7206 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Mounting seems to do a lot of weird things to engineer traits and skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knite.1542 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 What is your build? I can't speak on the mount issue but it's weird that you are having trouble gaining 5 charges. While in combat you get a charge for each toolbelt skill use, going into or out of forge mode, and each time you proc the Lock On trait (assuming you are using that).

AmberUK.5380 Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 I am using the holorifle build on meta (https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Holosmith_-_Holorifle). It might be I am getting the 5 charges and just don't notice - sorry I struggle to notice these things. But what I have seen is that I go onto my mount with some charges and when I come off I have non. I wanted to know if this is how it is meant to be? As it is a WvW build I use the mount to get round so there is not getting out of that but if mounting is basically killing this trait maybe I need to rethink having it?

Ovalkvadratcylinder.9365 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Yeah mounting is bugged as hell.. If you save heat with Photonic blasting Module and then mount up you lose all heal. If you're not using PBM and still overheat and mount up while cooling off you completely lose all heat and can reset the fight quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaining 5 charges is pretty easy, even if you have to start from 0 after mounting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButterPeanut.9746 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Speaking of Kinetic Battery, can we discuss how 5s base quickness in pvp is way too long for this trait? 1-2s should suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem isn't necessarily the 5 seconds of quickness. It's how frequently it can be procced by low cooldown toolbelt skills. Some toolbelts can activate kinetic battery way too quickly, and photon forge is one of those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinetic Battery is a fairly weak Grandmaster if you're not a Holosmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButterPeanut.9746 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Ya that's fair. Should do like they did with some of the necro traits then where it's "1s base if you equip the holosmith specialization". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
