Guess we can at least go in open world with it...Well i saw some confusion on the enemy in the trailer, but nearly all the other skills of mech didnt inflict any condis aside from vuln that i saw. Could also be daze instead of confusion...more likely... Edited October 21, 2021 by SeTect.5918 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asum.4960 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 kitten, I figured this would be some minion/pet sized mini robot, not some giant mech. Looks pretty crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its gonna be all ablut the AI and nothing else, rip. That said it seems like we will get confusion from it, cause there were enemies with the purple glow from it edit: Signets gonna be the utility skills huh Edited October 21, 2021 by Amadeus.5687 4 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenash.1245 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Personally I think it's the coolest looking spec this time around, irregardless of how good/bad it may bad. 27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some bubbles in the purple glow. Not sure if it was daze or confusion If its no confusion. We get the 3rd melee and 3rd power spec. Paired with AI. Yaaaaay... Nvm it is confusion cuz enemies attacked while having it. So at least i saw...vulnerability, confusion and slowness in the trailer. Tho the mace skills really look boring to me. Seems like the totally focused on the mech. Edited October 21, 2021 by SeTect.5918 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinotX.1604 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) More info for the interested: Quote “Choose your mech’s traits and use it to crush your enemies—together, you’re unstoppable. Mech Commands are selected by the player’s trait choices—in effect, the specialization traits you choose customize your mech’s loadout for combat. The mechanist can specialize in various combat roles. They gain access to the mace as a new main-hand weapon, which can be used to apply barriers to allies, synergizing strongly with specific traits in the specialization. Signet utility skills allow them to give further bonuses to themselves and the mech. These signets can have a variety of impacts, such as commanding your mech to emit a large protective force field for allies to shelter inside, creating an electric field around it to confuse enemies, or commanding your mech to unleash its ultimate weapon, the Jade Buster Cannon.” Edited October 21, 2021 by RobinotX.1604 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus.5687 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Also I feel like the mech is way to big and way to flashy animations. Sure looks "cool" in a trailer, but its gonna be a Visual cluster in group play 6 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracomet.3648 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Time to test out and see if the mech gets caught behind a tiny pebble and can't figure out where the player is. 8 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeTect.5918 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Since i am an open world player and often killing champions and so on, this might be interesting even if i hate AI. I mean we saw ccs, slowness, confusion, vulnerability and barrier. AI is also pretty okay in open world to be fair, but terrible in group content. Seems like i am stuck with holo for fractals and so on. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signets for utility skills huh? Wonder how they do them, with the passive/active part 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
