No.. It's not for balancing. Gadgeteer adds protection to the previous effects, the resistance is supposed to be there when traited. It works untraited Ye what Chaith said. The first patch when they changed it it was broken on release. It didnt do jack kitten what it was supposed to. Nor did it interact with the gadgeteer trait as it should. So they patched it.. and then they patched it a second time.. and then they gave up. Its utterly embarassing for an engineer player.How hard would it have been to just go to the wiki and type Utility Goggles in the search bar and then check out the 'related traits' section?Geez my bad I was wrong didn’t expect duck back lash.
