Zzik.5873 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Since they nerf scrapper barrier gen, it feel so bad to play. No substain, alright damage (maybe lower than Holo honestly). The only po8nt of scrapper is being a quick bot nowday. Since the nerf to his barrier gen, I dont like playing it at all. It feel bad and so squishy for poor damage. Honestly, I use to love playing it, now I just serve to wipe the floor with myself. They scrap scrapper, once again. F5 still useless most of the time... :,( 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawdler.8521 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 No no the devs acknowledged and promised to fix the barrier trait for all scrapper condi builds they deleted in an instant. I'm sure they will get on it ASAP right after they've fix the broken garri cornerstone in the cornerstone game mode of GW2. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuma.1503 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 5% barrier conversion would be forgivable if it worked on Condi as well. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it would be more fun but the scrapper have almost 0 condi in its kit. And core condi engi is not the greatest thing in Tyria. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matoro.9708 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Don't worry. They will fix it right after they fix turrets. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stx.4857 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Holo has better damage and survivability. Mechanist has better damage and much much better survivability. The impact savant nerf was boneheaded. At the end of the day, Scrapper is a fun spec but has very very niche uses now. Basically its only useful in WvW as a support, and even there they keep nerfing it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfectly playable in spvp too (not talking MAT), you can reach plat 2 with it Edited June 22, 2022 by Guirssane.7082 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demented Lemur.7861 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 What gamemode is this referring to? I only play pve and wvw and it seems to work perfectly fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diktator.8927 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I don't know how good it does in group content, but I've just leveled my Engineer to 80 and I'm having loads of fun playing Scrapper. At first I thought I'd go for Holo, but I just love how Scrapper has multiple big AoEs that surround it, + barriers are cool. It definitely fits my playstyle and it's def gonna be my main now. It doesn't look like it's the top dps class, but I've seen worse. Also, in terms of survivability, it really depends, with some mobs I can just sit still and just do my rotation, but some would kill me pretty quickly unless I dodge their op attacks. Having a constant Barrier (goes up to 9k sometimes) with 17k HP is more than enough for me, and it's a lot better in terms of survivability than a lot of other builds.

Stx.4857 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 If you're not fighting challenging mobs then yeah any spec in the game will work fine. Try killing champions, HoT hero points, or desert bounties. The survivability difference between Scrapper and mechanist is day and night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm talking about the "feels bad to play" part, as it isn't the case for me. It's very much enjoyable to play, but I guess that would change with some harder stuff, and it really depends on personal preference. I still feel its survivability is a lot better than some other classes though you'd expect more survivability since its damage isn't the best.

Infinity.2876 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) I like to use This build when playing scrapper in spvp which gives it a really good play style Essentially just run back and forth between mid and far over and over You can replace mortar with sneak thyroid you get ambushed between points In Wvw zergs it's still called upon as a good barrier/condi cleanse support and gives much of the same things as firebrand with more personal sustain Edited June 24, 2022 by Infinity.2876 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
