It should be pretty easy, considering my friend worked on a game and I watched him block a speed and teleport hack on the one he was in charge of without even restarting the server in 5 minutes flat. No clue how he did that though.

This is called a strawman argument.

I've been thinking about how to fix this weapon and the only thing I can come up with is to make the skills have charges and to make a talent similar to Ranger's shortbow one, but it could switch the base support effect skills for quicker more damage based explosion skills, letting you choose between what you want. 1 could also interact with the vials by adding vulnerability stacks while they are sitting there so you don't feel obligated to detonate them immediately. Idk I'm not a game designer

I barely do any damage with pistol. Having to choose between 2 or 3 to get the bonus on it feels like a fake choice because the bonus on 2 for every element is bad, so you always need to go 2 > 3. Air 3 is just clunky and feels like it was tacked on because it's a short movement dash on a pistol, which is strange. Fire 2 is the only thing that does decent condition damage provided all the second hits connect, which btw, is a blast skill that is missing on the skill info. I don't see why you would every use this weapon in its current state. Other weapons do everything else better and they have more visual and audio impact when using the skills as well, where with pistol I feel like it's just firing air.

1 says it inflicts weakness instead of vulnerability. The weapon is also just way too slow. It seems like it's for ranged support, but you basically need to spam everything and even if you don't, you still end up stuck on very weak auto attack. It really feels like it was meant to be a kit and not a weapon. They need to have more effects when they are first placed, even if it's just damage.

The axes seem to travel over or through about anything, so if you call them back they can just not work. They can also just be knocked out of the air while they are waiting. Further, you can just walk and avoid them because they go towards a point and not a target, so with 900 range, they miss all the time.

Make it so stealth is just see-through, you can't target it, and it breaks target. The teleport spam can be mitigated by moving it to evade energy so they can't leave as easily.

I went out and tested it on my necro against the engineer in sPvP. The first cleanse with sigil or Spectral Walk cleansed 2. The second cleanse only cleansed 1, so there is an internal cooldown working on it. It's more problematic for classes who have a ton of cleanses they use ever few seconds, like rangers who have Wilderness knowledge and eles who have Smothering Auras and Cleansing Waters, who were already shutting down condition damage builds.

It needs an internal cooldown on Smothering Auras and Elemental Shieldings, long enough that it doesn't affect anything much other than catalyst, and then a maximum distance on frost and fire aura effects. It's still OP and the passive spam needs to be addressed. Even then it still might be OP because the pulsing resolution and protection that can be used while CC'd, which stacks with the passive damage reductions it already has with traits(10% dmg reduction), signets(10% cond duration, 10% dmg reduction), and runes (20% cond duration). Now to wait for someone to tell me catalyst has been this way since 2012 because that actually happened last time I commented on a mechanist thread.

Try this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PSwAEh3lJwYYOsEWJO0WbtKA-z5IWCqOAA If you wanna stick to staples like Wurm and Spectral Walk, you can. You'll just limit your options and you can't have everything on one build. This one forces a lot of people off points or away from you and is generally tanky if you switch between shroud at the right times. Also hits well and has an easier time with conditions. I beat plenty of people with titles and meta builds on it, so it's a valid option for you if you wanna try. 😅

Use your shouts with the rune of the soldier and well of power. You get multiple cleanses and stun breaks that way and the timer reduces if you take the trait to reduce cooldowns the more you hit with shouts. I don't have many issues with conditions on reaper with this.

Sorry, I was just tacking on more issues I found because the GM just said to go do it here and I just picked a random thread about the damage issues. I'm lazy. The lower damage is from the player btw. The 10k hit is from the mech and the non-crit damage is more than the player can crit for and it's the same for the little rockets (800 vs 2.4k and reliable damage every 3 seconds). No boons at all on that hit and it's an assassin amulet :D. I really just wanted to highlight an issue and then ghost out. My bad.

It's using PvE trait damage in PvP: https://i.imgur.com/rt5G3Zk.jpg. The skills seem to be the same but apparently that's not a bug since the GM told me that what I said was a suggestion and not a bug.

You can get a large amount of might generation on core, scrapper, and holo. Really they need to adjust that and the annoying blind/damage passive (I'm blanking on the name and I'm too lazy to look it up). It's not really the grenades that are the issue for any of their builds. The whole class basically has assassins signet with 100% active uptime in some form.

It doesn't work on anything in any situation. It's also weirdly formatted like a Holosmith heat level bonus.
