The elegant solution is to make it easy to apply. Like putting it on Explosions. Yes, but not by a ton, like it's a solid option if you want more might for your group, and it's probably more DPS than the old setup still.

"If you want to be able to have your hallmark spec ability available, you need to play a sub-optimal spec." That is horrible design. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is horrible design. But you’re using it… if all scrapper got was a mediocre rez/stomp skill covering our elite skill toolbelt, that would be a horrible eScpec design IMO. The only reason it’s not available is because you decided it was more important to you to get more DPS. That’s a you problem not a design problem. If Function Gyro was actually required for quickness (it was more so before than it is now) I could agree, but it’s not. and Sub optimal is only true if you’re holding function gyro for no reason, if you’re actually making use of it then that’s the better choice than like 1k more DPS. Make a choice, that’s why we have options, theorycrafting is about opportunity cost and identifying your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they "fixed" it by making Function Gyro required to be used on CD for optimal DPS. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increased might duration from 8 seconds to 15 seconds in PvE only. We're probably going to just take Blast Gyro by default now, meaning Function Gyro is freed up, and pqScrapper can give 11+ might stacks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
