So you re saying the trait is bugged or that you lied?

 

The way mines work if you evade while previous mines are active the command detonates the mines instead of dropping more

 

Mine damage is fine the problem is the combination of mine+vent exhaust 4k+4k is alot

 

But sure i support a mine nerf instead make the grandmaster give dodge bomb a 25% buff and make it unblockable no icd

Like warriors trait

 

The question is how do we change vent exhaust trait? If its not meant to damage it should temporarily slow forge heat gain or something

Scourges have no counters? Anything with decent range or mobility counters it. My druid beats them (DPS), my Deadeye (DPS), My mirage im currently playing (Condi), My P/P vanilla engi can beat them (condi). Everything has counters. Its because people typically play meta and not think outside the non-meta box that people believe you cant counter something.

Wrong, all that classes you mentioned expect condi mirage gets rekt by meta comps and so even if they counter scourge they are not worth to take at all in a serious match.

 

If you talk of bronze league then yeah, if go above plat and bring deadeye is like a 4vs5 game even if at first you can get a lucky kill on the scourge if there ia no firebrand around, otherwise pop reflect and bye bye deadeye.

This i agree with but it aint holosmith to blame revenant as a whole has been in a terrible spot to the point its next to useless without herald

 

Rev is my guilty pleasure profession so i hope to see proper improvements soon

As I said, in bronze silver maybe gold that can be right, in pro comps and matchups if you play a deadeye or p/p condi engi like you said you are an handicap for your team even of you are a skilled player, same thing bringing dragonhunter, pretty good class in medium leagues but others are just better at dh role.

And isnt the game ment to be played by playing what carry the player the most???

 

Dont expect much from Anet, keep pvp trolling etc(loved when people raged on competitive when i usd my core guard with spirit weapons ), this game isnt a game to play outside trolling.

Lemme guess, you play some obscure build that no one else plays, or you play ele or rev. That's the only reason why you would really say this LMFAO.

It is literally all of the dodge roll damage from Holo Thermal Release Valve and core Engi Minesweeper traits, otherwise Tools variant feels pretty balanced to me.

 

The dodge roll damage is bad because of the iframe on dodge. Same problem and complaints from similar traits on Daredevil imo. Warrior is feels all right with the way it is too.

PVE-boy?

Wow I grew a pair of male organs overnight? I must have a talent. :+1:

 

Sorry kiddo, I've been playing Street Fighter and actual competitive games. Maybe if you learn that mmo PVP is actually not up to par nowadays you could be a little bit happier, instead of flinging your poo and insults for who knows what reason. Ah well. I'll wait for your next round of insults while I brew up my coffee

Once boon conversion gets adjusted and we evolve from the weakness spam meta, maybe then people will realize that holosmith should have been nerfed as well.
