As it is right now its too squishy and doesnt make up with other classes in terms of dps. Those changes will make alot of people leave the game. Tough times incoming...

Holly.8190 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Oh no I guess it can only do Healing, Alacrity and Condi now 😭 What ever will Mech Mains do? Oh wait that's still more roles then most other elites have or did Weaver Heal/Quickness become a thing in this patch? 6 6 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idpersona.3810 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I just played WvW for a couple of hours and the class just feels slow. In general it as a lot less fun to play. Glad I got most of my tracks done during the last 2 WvW track buffs. Since my other main is/as Warrior, I will have to figure out something to do for a while going forward. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specter can do Healing Alacrity Condi and Stealth Tempest can do Heal Alac Condi Firebrand can do Heal Quickness Condi and previously Power Herald can do Heal Quickness Power Mechanist isnt the only spec that can serve multiple purpose shocking I know Edited November 30, 2022 by Alcatraznc.3869 5 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i played mech I would be more annoyed that I have to tie the mech to my toolbelt to have it do damage rather then having one less bullet in my auto cos muh bleed procs. You only need one bleed on the target to have the crit chance gain and your 2 can give you perm bleed anyway. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why people cried that Specter got nerfed ? Why people cried that Scrapper heal got nerfed ? Yeah I can be like you and say "hurr its not the end of the world because X class can do DPS or Y class can do heal" but first that would be dumb, second people can and they should complain if something is bad or needs to be changed. If there's anything I've learn with GW2 is the louder the people cry the more Anet will listen to them even if the demand is totaly dumb. 1 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still play Heal Scrapper, Was playing before it had quickness and will continue to play it cos its fun. My Boyfriend kept playing Quick Cata for the last few months despite the fact it was "dead" and Mace Power looks like it will still be more then Viable even if Rifle isn't so its not like power is even dead. Hell I like this rifle feels more like the old Rifle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gendalfs.7521 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 For me these Mechanic changes are a bit annoying. I started 2 months ago playing with steam release, played necro>reaper with rainbow stats. Finished pof, lw4 all seasons and hot. But somewhat felt off, so i made a few alts, just to see what other classes can offer (guardian, mesmer, ranger and engineer). Engi felt also a bit slow, but then i leveled to Mech and OMG it felt so nice. What i got from playing classes was i dont want piano gameplay and i want ranged with a bit of CC and ofc Robot would be my little pet, as i started with minion mancer 🙂 Yesterday i tried those new upgrades and i dont like them. Tbh i even dont understand why they fixed Mechanist? Just because it was easy to play? Mech doesnt offer nor supreme survivability nor dmg, its Average. Im a new player, i dont know all classes, but thats just my little venting out frustration. Ill try to adapt if that even possible or go back to my necro. Tnx for reading. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on the same boat In my case ive been playing almost since release, but like you my main classes are built around pets with a more simpler playstyle. I've been enjoying for so long ranger and necromancer but mechanist kicked in and dragged my attention because of it's dedicated traitline exclusively for the pet. I have to admit that on beta the numbers were too high and today im still laughing remembering my first imperssion and test, Mech was overtuned way way tooo high!!! They managed to balance it properly but then the comunity hate brought us to this point. What a shame i hope they revert back those changes made on 29 to mech and riffle, cause it was a joy to play it, it was a class focused on having fun with the game and a natural(not forced like other specs) playstyle. And thats out of context but i have to add; They missed a big oportunity here cause mechanist was all what i wanted for a future ranger spec. Can you imagine the amount of builds and variety we could have with the bast amount of pet ranger has? I hope they reconsider this on the next expansion. Peace!!

Fueki.4753 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 The less Mechanists are running around, the better. Hopefully the changes actually reduce the amount of goo-coloured eyesores. 3 2 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
