(BETA) Janet Knockerseid

• Level 80 Engineer (Scrapper)
• Norn Female

Janet was my test of the new Scrapper specialization for Engineer. I doubt she'll ever return as a real character (outside of further beta events).

Overall, my impressions of the Scapper specialization were pretty fucking positive. I found that, with tweaks, my Scrapper could have perpetual might stacks. Scrapper is like a shark- as long as it keeps active, you can never lose might. This coupled with stellar damage dealing capabilities of the hammer, and the kick-ass suicide drones, means that the Scrapper could very easily become the preeminent damage-dealer in the game.

Now, all this power comes at a cost. Spec'd with full zerker gear meant that my damage was unsurpassed, but it also meant that I was total glass. Additionally, you lose the strongest healing skills that Engineer has with this specialization, which means you can't recover from damage as easily.

Still, I'm excited to see what people do with this perma-might Scrapper build once HoT comes out. I especially would like to see what happens in WvW and PvP with it, as their damage output is insane.
