Julius Seizure.4985 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 All were proper nerfs, and I main Engi in PvP. Still getting upwards of 40% team damage when hitting my stride. Expect more nerfs if you are a realist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But considering other damage sources were not touched, bomb scrapper is going to do 75-80% damage compared to before. Add stealth, AoE superspeed and decent condi cleanse. Power scrapper is still too far from being out of dps meta. Just that now bomb version isn't as ridiculously af broken as it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Benchwarmer.3025 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Very mild nerfs indeed. I like the changes and the implementation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrForz.1953 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I... didn't even know this patch existed, didn't notice anything changed in PvP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezzet.3614 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 im ok with the changes except mortar and bomb kit Auto attack nerf mortar is getting all the status shots damage nerfed why nerf the damage projectile's damage too ? at least buff the projectile travel speed i guess bomb is a melee weapon and it has a delay so at least remove the atack delay on the 1 skill so it compares to other melee weapons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbill.7483 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I'm curious to hear from WvW scrapper running bomb kit. Did they notice a reduction to the barriers from Impact Savant trait because their damage was reduced? If so, maybe we could petition to remove the Vitality nerf ANET added last year.

Infusion.7149 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Plenty of people don't run bomb kit , Blast Shield exists as well as Big Boomer, and the base health of engineer is higher than guardian or elementalist so good luck with petitioning for the tradeoff to be removed.

Samug.6512 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Just a funny thing I just realized... Hammer has an Explosion now, making it THE ONLY weapon on engineer that has an Explosion skill. Basically, Hammer is the only weapon that interacts on its own with Explosives, a core trait line... Is that the moment we can officially start calling core engineer "A worse Scrapper" and treat Scrapper as base line? _(blah blah blah Harpoon Gun. Nobody cares about underwater)_ How about we switch Tools and Scrapper in terms of elite spec? Hammer, gyros, F5 and barrier generation become a baseline as our profession mechanic, our profession is now called "Scrapper", and and if we choose "Tools" we loose access to hammer, F5 becomes dependent on our elite skill?

Ghos.1326 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 mortar kit still hits pretty hard, it's not bad at all. if anything, engi needs a bit more shaving in terms of explosive entrance. Of course currently, there are more overperforming things that need attention right now, but it's still an issue if left untouched. this is what happened to the recent iteration of prot holo before HLA got nerfed, something i was screaming about a while ago that nobody listened to me about.
