When they replaced scrapper elite toolbelt with this thing they also in addition made all gyros instantly explode when hit by cc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be virtually guaranteed Rez or stomp (plus a lightning field) on a 25s CD. All of which you get without sacrificing a utility slot or trait. Does that sound even remotely like a good idea? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it is also the elite spec mechanic. Its the photon forge or mech or what have you. And i am all for it being killable. But instant death when hit by the slightest daze is maybe overdoing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there's probably a good middle ground to be found somewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuko.7132 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 All I know is that thing crits me for like 5k, and I think it dazes. Could be wrong. I haven’t played scrapper since they changed function gyro from how it was originally. Scrapper as a whole isn’t super popular right now, so I am all for some sensible changes.

shion.2084 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) The function gyro has an extra effect based on the scrapper tier 1 trait. It either does super speed, stun, or stability. It has lightening field, so it will appear to stun it the scrapper does rocket charge leaps in it. I can normally use the function Gyro to hit for around 3k and change if I have might up. Never seen 5k Edited January 22, 2023 by shion.2084 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shion.2084 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 One cc on a function gyro and it’s useless. So yeah… you shouldn’t waste it firing it into a team fight on a diwn in the middle of 8 people spamming. Honestly I mostly use it offensively. Often it is what causes the down, which it then doesn’t stomp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen 5k It's a daze for both the function gyro itself and the leap finishers in the combo field, not a stun. Stuns and dazes are 2 different forms of hard CC.

Or maybe just a glassier build for the scrapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain builds can do 25 fairly easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apharma.3741 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 One thing to remember is you can often cast it while kiting an enemy away, not saying it's great at it's function but that you can effectively get a rez or force someone to go back to deal with the gyro letting you zoom zoom away. It's niche for that use but it's far from useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
