Sorry, forgot to mention: MORE GROUND TARGETING. As if we didn't have enough from grenade kit. They managed to take the annoying parts of grenade kit (so much ground targeting with slow travel time) plus bomb kit (arm time). Just let the things stick into enemies. I like the idea of choosing what bonus from detonations but, I'd rather like stacking arrows from AA then using 2-5 to set off chain reactions while also just doing their normal effects on use. Allowing you to choose to AA a bit between skills to get bigger effects or use them off cooldown. Also could give a reason to stay in weapon instead of in kits forever.

Things we needed: a new set to deal condi damage. Maybe some resolution or resistance for support. Would need protection to compete with overshield so we can keep up prot if meant for healing. Slow is nice. What we got: negative damage. small AoE's. More barrier (signet, mech, mace, bulwark). More healing(elixir gun, mortar kit, heal kit). More might(blast gyro, barrier burst, Explosive Knuckle, HGH). More Vulnerability (any explosive and honestly never look at it because its always at 25 so whatever other sources we have). More Weakness.(elixir gun). More Cripple (any explosive, elixir gun, pistol, bombkit). More Blind(pistol, bombkit, mortar kit).... all useless as we have more than enough of basically all of the above. Skill 5 is the only one that's not complete garbage, because at least it gives access to slow and an ethereal field. Two things we could actually use. However, it should also give confusion. The rest of the skills are just bad. Lose protection uptime to gain basically nothing.

The skills are walking Combo fields and as such they pretty much need to look as they do for recognition. While many may not use the combo system, it does still exist and they do want them to look the same across everything. Don't really see a big issue with the lil drone buddies, they're present, fields are obvious what they are, and nothing is too flashy so you can see what's going on still. Otherwise things would get way too busy when you have 2-4 out at once.
