Engineer Bugman's Best ability suggestion

[geezereur]

Keg heals entire group.

Increase cooldown, make 1s or better 0.5s cast time and 30 seconds cooldown or even possible 45

As a Magus main this change to engineer keg ability would be fine I also think 2 sec cast time is to much.

Why does it matter if you are a magus main?

Dont know why you are comparing two different abilities 1:1. If you want keg buffed just say so

I don't mind please give a keg to Magus

These are not completely different abilities, the developers just gave them 2 different options

They are. For me BW > SORC. In all ways, but Im playin destro side. The magus has its own up and downs, same for engi. The KEG is OP. 2s cast is not that long.

Engineer has Well-Oiled Machine tactic that allow construct turrets instantly would be great also if this tactic reduce the casting time of Bugmans' Best (healing keg) ability at least by 50% because 2 seconds when you are attacked is a lot and Magus's Aegis of Orange Fire has instant cast. I think with this tactic 1 second cast it will be fair.

I think well oiled machine should make all constructs instant kthxbai.

But what if constructs was castable on the move, perhaps with a % movement speed penalty?
Would this make the gameplay more fluid and faster paced which is one of engis weakpoints? Maybe keg should be able to be thrown like the landmine, hell - maybe even the magnet should work like this? Ah, to be the realm champion mite b cool huh?

and the same cooldown of 1 min

then 2400hp instead of 1400 for 15 seconds

2040hp - 9 points, 60s/15s = 4, 1400hp*4 = 5600hp

Now if at 9 points to take the keg it heals 284hp every 3 seconds for 15 seconds or 5 times or 1420 healing, if Engineer got heal debuff from Witch,Squig,Choppa,Shaman,dps DoK after this value decreases by 2 times to 710 healing. At the moment if the Engineer is attacked by melee dps classes while he is casting this keg he is almost dead.

You can get 5600 healing for 1 minute only is some safe area with other healers or when guarded, but when no healers near or tank far away is busy with something as often happens in scenarios you can't get permanently such numbers, especially in the Path of The Grenadier when you can now kite or do damage on the move this healing keg stupidly ties you to the place not allowing you to move away and when you are taken into focus by 2 squigs, no keg will help you, especially since they interrupt the cast with damage.

Engineer Small Suggestion

Excellent Pun man.

[Gunlinger]

Close quaters tactic does not affect bugman's best. And even it it would, your Keg gets set back 5 times in a row from the smallest aoe hits you get.

I play both magus and engineer 84rr, both abilities are situational and each has its own pros and cons, you seem to be placing too much emphasis on these abilities, not dying under 2 dps with this ability sounds absurd.
