Engineers also have partial Animation Lock with deploying their Turrets, Mortars etc..

Ok, yeah, I've seen that with the bomb. I thought it must have taken damage somehow.


Regarding animation lock: it looks like Engineers have the most powers with it, is that right?

"Relativity Pistol: The Hold and Damage Immunity should now always last the same duration, regardless of the user and targets' innate resistances and buffs."

I guess this is the fix you guys have wanted for a long time?

It's still broken, the fix didn't fix it.

Yes it is the fix we are waiting for.........
But nope it is not fixed yet

"This is NOT working correctly yet."

"Thought i'd mention that the latest tribble patch did NOT FIX the stasis pistol issue yet at all..........."

From a PvP standpoint, having the bomb set to proximity is actually quite invaluable. Not only does it trigger at the right time, it also blows up on any cloaker walking too close to the bomb. At the same time it decloaks the cloaker via knockback. Engineers don't have tricorder scan or target optics. Transphasic bomb presents the class with an interesting way to deal with cloaked players. You can't sneak up on an engineer while under cloak if they are standing next to a transphasic bomb.

I'm sure you can get close enough to get in pulsewave range, as my own experiments with the bomb have shown that it has a laughably small radius (and very slow response time).

Is it a good idea though? Maybe if you're a suicide bomber, but if I were a cloaker, I'd just look for someone else to deal with.

Would maybe be a good idea to mention at the bomb one that it has no cooldown when it auto-explodes by proximity... couldn't hurt to get some dev confirmation if thats actually an intended feature as it seems almost to good to be true as it wasn't like that before the proximity was patched in and it can totally outdo dmg of other kits when used like that.

so maybe

"(3) Bomb has no cooldown when auto-exploding by proximity - intended feature?"

If I'm not mistaken, the auto-exploding cooldown is only instant when the explosion doesn't hit anything.

Its always instant with no cooldown unless triggered manually, makes triggering em manually being the worst idea ever unless you really have to atm. And thats what makes this design feel a bit wrong actually, cause automatic triggering is easier then manually triggering yet you get punished with a penalty for doing it manually.
