Offensive Scrapper isn‘t the problem, meaning ones that heavily rely on the use of grenades - since nades got nerfed they don‘t feel as oppressive anymore, what Scrappers need is a massive sustain nerf in terms of barrier, boon uptime and defensive skills such as Elixir S as well as some mobility reduction.

@"snoow.1694"

Scrapper is Bruiser role

Bruiser is half tank, half dps

In pvp you have diferent roles

like :

Dueler -> hight 1vs1, big burst, medium sustain

Bruiser -> hight sustain, medium dmg

Roamer -> low sustain, big mobility, squishy for 1vs1, good in team fights/taking objective

Support-> offhealing/boons, usualy tanky but low dmg

if you nerf Scrapper, he no longger will have Bruiser role

and cuz medium dmg, he will can't be dueler

Also becose Scrapper is Bruiser , his role is to tank enemy dmg and his first who will initate fight

If dueler will do it, he will fast die from 2vs1

So in short Scrapper schold breake enemy line and for that he need be tanky

But Scrapper can't kill you in 1s

or in 2s as his not dueler, he can't pinpoint you with burst

he have medium dmg who kill you progressively

Thx to brusher, your duelers (dmg dealers) can walk up to enemy more safe, here how it work :


Apple have bad reapair service, once somethink break, you need buy new product, also with evry new product thay making it harder or even imposible to fix parts :/

I honestly not recomend buy anythink from Apple

Well despend, i wuld like to have good weapon for new elite, as engineer have only 2 main wepons, pistols and rifle (not couting shield)

Who buy mac btw, your saw at last opinion of thay repair serivce? once broke, mean you need buy new one, aslo thay make thay products that whay no one can fix them expect of themselfs :/

Consider putting up a video or a few screenshots with Arc on. These screenshots don't show much unfortunately

@"mindcircus.1506"

Sadly i can't record video as my pc starts lagging once i try

here how it looks on arcdps

my build and gear


meta build (full berserk, +5% dmg insygnia,+3%and+7%when stun)


like you can see in my build, dmg is constantly dealed witchout breakes

But i also want other ppl to test it, and rate (remeber it's for solo, mean all boons you can get only from yourself)

so guys, i made acidently monster for pve open word

What that build offer?

Easy rotation (like you just spam 1 with hammer)

Hammer spam 1 -> 10-12k dps (solo witchout any outside help of team)

Perm quikness,fury, 25 might

Super hight sustain (tank like)

96% crit chance

hight amount of barrier (cuz witch quickness you deal dmg constantly)

Is this build for raids/team play?

-> Absolutly not, order of this build is solo boons, dmg, and sustain

Here is build

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PejAIJlRwcYQsGWJO8LvteA-zRRYBRBXJcQanRYSgAVAq8AEwG41QhZAA-e

have fun testing yourself, or solo most content

here are some of my ss

@"weaponwh.9810"

but insted of granades your taking rifle turret, so you have less confusment

try this @"Cheshire King.6970"

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PewAwqplZwiYcsOGKO0L9vbA-zRRYmBxwGNczlRUJQgFgDziemRA-e

In short :

i moved bleed dmg to power

you have hight power,precision,feriocity now

you have fire condi as support with 90% up time

Flamethrower insted of granades -> fire/power aoe dmg

sigil buff you might (power+condi dmg same time)

sigil full stacked mean your got 50% crit chance

moved some def trait to ofensive, so you will just kill mob x3 faster not needing that much sustain

tooked boomer trait that will heal you once you cause explosion

Mistakes you did in your build :

-> Super low dmg

-> low number of power

-> low number of condi dmg (my 40% of bleed duration is worth 100% of your bleed duratuion)

-> low crit chance mean your not triggered bleed often

-> not chosed food/utylity

-> overtanked

Good idea, but some ppl can get be constantly log off cuz not stabile net connection or anet server problems

rifle holo 33-35k dps

no need look on heat managment

instef of granades your using turret

your rotation is prty easy, bomb spam 1, holo mode 3,4 + 1 spam, rifle 3+5 then back bomb

once you learn it you can replace turret with granades and add it to rotation so your gona do 37-38k dps insted

medium armor medium hp so your bit tanky, also you have aed that save you from death most of time

Well mostly cuz thers also ppl whos not casuals, and play more serios or have cuple of years in mmorpg or got more sharp personality

In pve game is so ez that you only group up on hot maps to explore togheter (if) so all social thinks disapering

Other think is ppl much often prefer to pug, when in other more skilled games 80% ppl do it with guilds and spend most time around it

When i started this game i also culd not get used to it that ppl here are more goofy (i not mean to offend anyone)

yep bosss shold walk insted of charge, then power dps wuld do fine as well

Simply adjust your combo from: Elixir U > Overcharged Shot

 

to

 

Overcharged Shot > Elixir U

yeh but when you press elixir u first, you cast stun 50% faster

It used to have longer Stability, was removed because it was too good.

i'm ok with 1,1/4, that problem is solved if you take alchemy tree, but if you try take other you have not inaf time until you press overcharged shot first

Nope, but you can click here to buy item for friend


Or buy Mystic coins, as 1 mistic coin is worth around 2 gold and send some to friend on mail

Then your frind just will sell Mystic coins, and replace gold for gems (but be avare of tax and etc)

We actualy have:

Holo-> Dps

Scrapper->Bruiser(tanky dps)/healer

So i tested it and 1,1/4s is fine to not stun myself, but 1s is too short, pls buff

well i usualy taking scrapper healer duo with qfb

25% less dmg but you carry all that low skill players at t4 keeping them 100% hp as you just brr spam with 1 skill 100% of uptime and ress evry 25s ppl that not dodged one shot

Scrapper heal much more then hfb in pve, in wvw it's despend as your in move most of time

Scrapper have much easier rotation compare to hfb, and can spam 1 just to constantly healing

in wvw scrapper can heal bit less to hfb as Elixir shell+Super elixir are stationary

Problem of scrapper is also that he heal others with 1 not himself, so you need secoundary healer to keep you alive

because elixer u is instant cast you can just use the rifle 4 first and while its casting use elixer u

good tip, but still i think 1s is bit too short in my opinion

to have other sorce of stab you need play scrapper, or flamethrower with jugaranaut trait

but still 1s is bit meme tho, you have no other sorce of stability until you play scrapper

can we get buff on Elixir U?

1s Stability is bit too short in my opinion

1s->1,1/4s culd fix problem

right now whenever i try use elixir u+Overcharged shot i stuning myself most of time, it's bit not fun


Why are you going through that many in such a short period of time?

sorry i not understned your question

gobler use 3 candi corn per 5s

to use 252 Candy corns you will need use item 84 times, thats mean 84*5s=420s=7min

so i need "click" for over 7-14min to have resonable time on boons to not click that item while you farm

if thay reduce cd for item use from 5s to 2s you will need around 3min to use 252candi corns insted of 7min

lets say your mad like me and want do content for over 2-4h

and you will open 1004 Candy corns, it will take 28min but culd 12min insted

@"bethekey.8314"

i saw your video, also i play engineer as well

i think you got some latency problem

also most attacks you showed was shot from 90* angle (max left/right side), so maybe for you it hited, but for server it's miss as for server your position was diferent and you culd not hit from that angle

what i mean

if somone dc, and you hiting his body or try f him, you can't as body is in diferent place, and cuz of dc server not refreshed player position

So actualy cuz of your or someone latency, you shoting to "body" who is displayed with lag (is 2-3 steps far from what is showed)

with that latency you need shot not at enemy (flamethrower) but bit front of him (like shoting to a plane and your misile have 1-2s time before it fly to target)

like this


Maybe that schold help you not miss that much

for pistol skills i can't help much, becose it's auto-targetable, mean if you want be sure to hit, you need look on enemy by front not your left,right arm

( i mean your character need look by front on enemy, not your camera)

at 3:33 of your vieo you got proff, as with your latency server took like you moved 1-2 steeps far, and refreshed your position with deley

So for server you was not stay close to target, but after him

so it's like you shooted not looking on your target (as character)

Thats what actualy happyn ther


I wuld like to suggest reducing cd of using item from 5s to 1-2s

using that item multiple times hurt :/

to use 250 candi corn it's taking 7min(cuz of 5s cd of use), shorting that amount twice culd be nice

Whats your opinion?

@"ArchonWing.9480"

On eu you have no problem with it like i said, whenever i tried create party, qfb joined fast (alternative can be quick power chrono)

Also, for the most part damage mitigation > healing.

with pro team i agree with you , but with random pug healing>migration dmg, as second part is problem, same hfb not always time aegis well, and have x2 less healing

for cm squads hfb/qfb is better as thers more skilled ppl

2(3) more supports

qfb do 75% dmg of dps

alac 50%

condi bs https://bit.ly/342Krjt

condi scorge/soulbist/holo is cherry on top of that but 1 dps is fine too

Applied Force makes no sense with a Quickbrand, and it's not like you're doing any damage anyways.

you no need bigger bariers, and you spam alot stab with qfb /alac

Apllied Force is logical choise as backup plan in couse your qfb die from one shot mech so your auto heal stay 50% less efected compare witchout that trait

Also even for this build, there's no point in maximizing superspeed uptime and fractal arenas are small so you should take all middle traits in scrapper to improve your cc

0,5s of cc

from my experience superspeed have big value as it's let you save 1 dodge moving from red cirle faster, also it's counter criple or chill in couse any mob hit you with it or boss

Same as your team move faster from point a to point b

i took it as personaly i value it much more then 0,5s daze, same as i use only gyro for res

thers 4 maps wher you can skip mobs thx to superspeed up to last boss

same in 100lv fractal you move to boss faster thx to superspeed, and you counter water phase with it

Backpack regenerator is also useless. It's a tiny heal; comeback cure is going to have better regen uptime.

you have perm regen with Healing mist+infusion bomb, even with -15% boon duration (flock runes)

if you taking that trait it's actualy useless

Also yet again i disagree, your auto heal only your team, so having even bit of pasive heal have huge impact to your survability

the only source of healing to yourself you got from super elixir+elixir shell

then it's regen+backpack (lets say ou need move cuz of aoe of enemy or that bomb mistlock)

and did you rly want wast bandage self/vital burst to heal yourself insted of using it when team need :/ ?

might since you are putting all the might duty on the alacren.

no your actualy not, you providing might with hgh trait

toss elixir b+healing mist+Elixir shell+super elixir+acid bomb = 11 might

togheter with alac your team have 25might all time

without stunbreak since the later is useless if you get stunned first.

your healing mist is stun break

Also Elixir B gives random boons besides stability which is not always desirable.

i use it for 3stab and +3might(hgh)

rng boon is only bonus

As far as I know, the stun break effect on regenerating-mist (EG-F) and bypass-coating (Blast-gyro-F) are cast only on yourself

bypass-coasting is aoe even if descryption not says that (checked and confirmed it)

Healing mist work only on you (but not confirmed it yet)

picking Elixir B over Blast Gyro, when stability isn't needed, and you don't risk pushing enemies away.

don't forget that more boons yout team have, your auto heal for more

but if you rly no need adional stab boon, you can replace it with elixir r insted

Elixir r = 2 dodge

toss elixir r = 2might+adional ress+light field to blind enemys
