nikelaus.9745 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) It may not mean much since I pug but thank you for buffing power scrapper! It feels good to compete with mechs and other classes. https://imgur.com/GJyHiDT I know the buffs recently came out so there hasn't been an optimized build yet, but for those who are interested I tested out Throw mine + it's toolbelt ability and it hits like a truck now. This is the damage for Throw Mine: 22,706 on a 15 sec CD pre-alac https://imgur.com/LjBEDX5 This is the damage for the toolbelt skill: 46,950 (9390x5hits) on a 17 sec CD pre-alac https://imgur.com/tUMVN48 This is the build I'm using: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PeRAIlRw2YaMIWJO2LvteA-zRIYRU0XG1WIVkE2ONU4MCA-e The mines count as explosions as well so that's just extra ferocity. I was using Blast Gyro when I swapped the throw mine for boon removal in T4 fractals. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I did so now I think I'm sticking to Throw Mine until I need to swap to blast for CC. Anyways, rejoice fellow Scrapper mains. It feels good. 🙂 Edited August 23, 2022 by nikelaus.9745 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, they could at least buff the pistols auto attack like they did with rifle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcatraznc.3869 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I still dont know why Anet did not revert the nerf on the barrier conversion as well as the nerf on the damage buff when having superspeed/swiftness. The changes are nice but they are lacking imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anbujackson.9564 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Now holo (most likely) deals less damage than scrapper. Thats sad. Good for quickness scrapper viability though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghos.1326 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Tested hammer in pvp, the aftercast delay adjustments to both hammer 3 and hammer 5 are amazing. Definitely one of the better changes to have come. Using this knowledge, and I hope someone at Anet at least glances this over, if this small of a change (aftercast delay reduction) makes such a big impact, what's stopping them from changing main hand pistol autos to actually be .5s total cast time instead of the current .9? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see an aftercast reduction on hammer 5. Was there an undocumented change? Edit: Not sure if placebo or remembering wrong, but it does seem a lot faster. I'm also pretty sure they made the aftercast on the hammer swing faster at the same time they sped up catalyst's (they use the exact same animation) without listing that they did. Hammer feels very smooth now. 🙂 Edited August 25, 2022 by Kuma.1503 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
