Glower Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Bring back the old EMP Discharge/Sabotage resets! Cmon this skill is not fun anymore and very weak. 3.0 - damage, 2 sec stun, and free grenade? vs old Immediately finishes the cooldown on Adrenaline Probe, Shield Probe, Entrench, and Covered Escape. This ability does not respect the global cooldown. Biggest nerf to the Engi spec. Edited December 5, 2014 by Glower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaos_KidSWTOR Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 It wasnt a DPS nerf that they were doing, if that was still in and you took the right utilities, Engi Sniper would be damn near invincible against certain types of damage. It was a QoL Nerf. you never 100% needed EMP Discharge to play Engineering, in fact one of my old Engi Builds skipped it entirely! If you dont like Engineering, then play Marksmanship they seem pretty OP now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaineOs Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 If you wanted to play engineering properly you needed EMP discharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsummers Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Don't forget, in the good old days, after using Sabotage/EMP discharge, our next Incendiary Grenade OR Sabotage charge was free. Now both of those has been dropped to making our nerfed Thermal Grenade free. Getting a free Sabotage Charge combined with the energy gains by hitting the four charges it left was a great way to regenerate your energy.

That and thermal grenade not being AOE really no longer fits with your one debuff/buff (depending on which perspective you are looking at it) that comes with incendiary grenade with the increase in AOE damage. Honestly, survivability is way down without EMP discharge, and my ability to damage outside of cheesy AOEs is down with the loss of armor reduction on flourish shot.

BaineOs Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) people tend to forget the cooldown nerf to frag grenade, it's 6 secs now not 3 secs. Whilst not the most severe nerf to it but combined with the aoe removal it's just the icing on the cake. Might seem like an insignificant change but for me it puts my timing off completely and just removes even more fluidity of the spec. Engineering, one big *********** nerf after another. I still fail to see one decent buff to that spec. Edited December 5, 2014 by BaineOs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasmers Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 If you wanted to play engineering properly you needed EMP discharge. Agreed. The old EMP was the core of the playstyle engineering offered. Nothing in there now makes up for the loss. I still haven't decided yet, but it looks like I'll be going Marksmen now.
