SleepyBat.9034 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) Bug Fixes [Tools] Mechanized Deployment - [ WvW / PvP ] - This trait only reduces the cooldown of Mechanist command skills in PvE but not in WvW or PvP. [Shield] Magnetic Shield - [ WvW / PvP ] - For some reason this skill does not reflect Harbinger shroud skill auto attack while other reflects do. Quality of Life Changes [Inventions] Cleansing Synergy - The radius of this trait is 240 but every other support related trait in Inventions is 360. Additionally while A.E.D. is equipped, Cleansing Synergy should not activate on use but after the final heal. [Inventions] Reconstruction Enclosure - While A.E.D is equipped, this trait should trigger after the final heal instead of on activation. [Tools] Reactive Lenses - While A.E.D is equipped, this trait should trigger after the final heal instead of on activation. [Inventions] Auto Defense Bomb Dispenser - Remove the fuse time on this trait. Skills [Turrets] - All utility turrets are in need of a general overhaul. [Elixirs] Elixir R - Cast time and after cast should be near instant to enable reactionary gameplay. [Gadgets] - A.E.D. - Reduced cast time to 1/4 second to enable reactionary gameplay. [Gyros] - Stealth Gyro - Rework or Cooldown reduction. [Kits] - Toolkit - Reduce cast time on Box of Nails to 1/2 second. Traits [Inventions] Automated Medical Response - Needs a rework. [Inventions] Bunker Down - Needs a rework. [Inventions] Experimental Turrets - Might need a rework. [Alchemy] HGH - Elixir cooldown reduction made baseline. [Scrapper] Damage Dampener - Needs a rework. [Holosmith] - Crystal Configuration: Eclipse - Grant 1 stack of Stability for 2 seconds on hit.

Limbo.4087 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Bug Fixes [Mechanist] Energizing Slam (Mace 2) In the description, it inflicted 3 stacks of vulnerability and 3 confusion. But it actually causes 2 vulnerability stacks and 2 confusions in pvp/wvw [Holosmith] Prismatic Converter and Solar Focusing Lens are triggered only after using f5, if you deactivate Photon Forge when using swap kit, the traits will not work Edited January 21 by Limbo.4087 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recognize it. Wait downstate? No that skill is fine, you use it to pull wicks into your Booby Trap and Interrupt Stomps.

Kodama.6453 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Bug Fixes [Pistol] Fragmentation Shot - Finally fix the casting time and aftercast of this skill to actually match what the tooltip says. Skills [Elixirs] Elixir X - We moved away from elixirs giving random effects. Change elixir x from giving one of two different transformations of other classes and rework it to give us our own transformation which is guaranteed. My go to would be that we transform into a big ooze. [Pistol] Poison Dart Volley - Speed up the cast time (1 1/4s).Maybe add piercing to it. [Gadgets] Slick Shoes - Make the knockdown pulse on defiance bars in PvE again. If guardians are allowed to have sanctuary to nuke break bars in PvE, then I don't see why slick shoes shouldn't be allowed to considering that dealing break bar damage is ALL it does. [Gadgets] Detection Pulse - Grant 6 seconds of fury to up to 5 allies in the radius. Currently, if your enemy doesn't stealth (like 99% of all enemies in PvE), this skill is literally "1/2s cast time, do nothing". [Kits] Big Ol' Bomb - Give this skill 2,0 power coefficient in PvP. One of the highest telegraphed skills in the game (huge delay, big object placed for indication, red ring, etc), yet they removed all damage from it because it is a CC. The "all CC skills deal no damage" paradigm got given up again with damage given back to warrior hammer and PLB, so we can give this skill it's damage back, too.

I definitely think bomb kit could use some buffs considering how awkward it is to use in competitive game-modes. Perhaps reduced fuse time or longer durations would be enough. Also you can probably strike out the pistol changes now that they've been implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyRico.8591 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Trait Rework [Tools] Streamlined Kits - Needs an update, make the cooldowns for the effects separate per kit similar to evasive arcana. Would also like to see the icd dropped to 10s as well, but at this point, separate cooldowns per kit would be a major improvement. In general, would also like to see an additional trait that would benefit kit swapping. Right now there are only two traits in the game that impact engineering kits, and one of them (Backpack Regenerator) promotes camping a kit. Engineer was supposed to be that jack-of-all-trades class pulling out the right tool for the right situation, but it feels like each successive elite spec has walked the class back from that. I think getting some meaningful reworks/QoL to kit swapping, and rewarding play that uses 3+ kits in a build would be something nice for core engineer without excessively buffing elite specs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
