There are two videos in that guy's post. I only watched a few seconds of each, but here are some funny numbers:

from pretty much just auto attacking: video one showed 52-54k dps (staff), video two was about 50-51k dps (d/wh)

Flamethrower—Air Blast: The description has been updated to better specify the ability’s function. The burning stacks it applies have been increased from 1 to 2.
Fire Bomb: The physical damage of this ability has been increased by 10% per tick.
Concussion Bomb: Confusion duration has been increased from 5 seconds to 8 seconds. The physical damage of this ability has been increased by 20%.
just for perspective, fire bomb on a condi engi does
Damage: 71 (0.2)
Burning (4s): 524 Damage
so yeah wow 10% physical damage buff just amazing it'll do so much more damage now

quote:

Rocket Boots: The initial damage of this ability has been increased by 25%.
yes this is exactly what rocket boots were used for, damage

Ah, so THAT's how it works! I was trying to find the bug last night, but I couldn't get it. On a related tangent, condi Tempest build did get a buff this patch, not that it matters since its still lightyears below condi ranger/engi.

So why are people saying guardian scepter is good suddenly? I'm not... seeing anything different? I always liked/used it but the latest patch notes are leaving me confused to any real buffs to it other than I noticed it inflicts vulnerability and idk the source because I didnt see it on wiki/patch notes/in my traits.

edit: I bought the teal poly gem and this is what happens to the shadow raven form if you use it. I don't understand the logic of a teal gem turning you bloody red with green eyes but I like it.

Because people are assuming that the new raid meta is mirror comp (2 mesmer, 2 druid, 2 warrior, 4 dps), and with two mesmers you'll have a lot more alacrity. Thus classes that benefit from alacrity (guard and ele) get better while classes that don't (thief) get worse.

I use Rocket Boots to Might leap out of fire patches from my flamethrower when enemies close in to melee.

Scepter guard has been good for a while. Scepter/torch is great on large hitboxes, but for smaller hitboxes you want to swap between scepter/torch and sword/torch.

It happened a while back when anet changed scepter and sword. They made every mainhand drop a symbol now for that one trait. It's actually pretty decent.

Go to the qt website and look at the build for it.

Scepter / Sword on Guardian also bring Might and Fury. From what I understand, they are comparable damage assuming you don't interrupt the Sword chain. I'd imagine that will give Guardian a good shot at getting placed into raid groups, while Thief is mostly hosed.

To be fair, the buffs for every profession in this patch were a joke, not just engi.

100% of 0 is still 0, but then it's not like anyone expects mesmer to do any damage in PvE anyway.
