Dantheman.3589 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Core, scrapper and holo. Doesn’t matter the variation becuz all they do is knockback with about x8 the knockback of other side noders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrorhuz.4695 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I noticed quite recently the actually insane amount of soft and hard crowd control a scrapper can put out. Couldn't even name which skill the guy used 'cause I don't really know engi well, all I know is that I was being pushed the whole time, and when I wasn't, he was blocking and dazing with the shield. There's no damage, it just moves you.On the positive side, these kind of players seem quite vulnerable to a competent +1, which means if you consume their cooldowns just a little bit some rev\thief\degenerate mesmer can pierce through them very quick.

Vancho.8750 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Remember when at the end of HOT we had Knockback Ventari rev and they nerfed it cause it was, what was the word they used non interective or something like that.Consistence in this game man.

Zeesh.7286 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Yea. All it needs to do is come in knockback and decap your point and gg.. it can leave and go plus in the team or decap mid because it's also tanky :) B A L A N C E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teb.6980 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 The main offenders are battering ram, remote mine, and OF COURSE (and what makes them so kitty tough) is that overtuned scrapper trait with no ICD which gives a hefty barrier per every CC handed outAnd obviously flashbang grenade which never was in-tune with the game philosophy, [however there's many more specs which dump in damage with CC, particularly condi bursts] So imagine having to hit said engi at the start of combat, but oop, you're dazed, but oop, you're blinded, and big oof it has a barrier. But oop you just got knocked back and 3 buffs got removed off your sorry n00b kitty because you haven't rerolled into some retarded OP abuse spec yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiyo.3578 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 You don't interact with it and just avoid it. Yes, you avoid pvp in a pvp game mode.Seems to be a theme with this meta, and why it's not fun. Please delete remote mines knockback(not used in pve), rework the symbols aoe trait(not used in pve), reduce system shockers barrier by 50% in wvw/pvp and rework stone heart(not used in pve) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw mine basically works like something between a trap and a preparation, but the actual pressure the skill would put on an area would be minimal, since it just deals damage in a single instance, meaning the maximum power coefficien they could give it would be 2,0....Agree that they should reduce the barrier in PvP/WvW from system shocker, tho. Pretty weird that they didn't do that right at the implementation of this trait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boon removal on throw mine make them immune to stab. Another stupid design like unblocable : "Hey how about having a skill which counters its counter." sure, that's sounds great.

aelska.4609 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Dunno, I found it to be quite interactive tbh (More honestly it is more meme potential than a problem if you don't do like me. Ignore and go on other nodes. I'd have expected it to be fixed in small balance patch if anet dev team didn't get killed in Jormag's landing.)

Nabbut.7480 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 How about this candidate? A Movespeed Decap Daredevil.Entirely pacifistic, braindead-friendly build that does nothing but zips about decapping empty points thus forcing enemy team to spend more time capping them back or allocate players to guard them all.

The dude knows he's playing a stupid build. This is the type of stuff balance patches every 2 weeks are supposed to fix, btw.I actually don't blame people for playing decap eng since everyone just plays builds that spam AOE on the node and live forever(hi base guardian) anyways.

Bazsi.2734 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 @"Norbe.7630" said:engi is op, too op, too fasthttps://streamable.com/k0sdscIt's a 2v1. All I can see on this video is someone running into a 2v1 and dying like an open world NPC... therefore irrelevant to the discussion whether engi specs are strong or not. Extra dishonesty points for not showing the damage breakdown at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
