Back again and this time I think I'll poke at your "Random Deal" ability for gadgeteer.

I'm not so sure I understand the point of the ability. Rerolling your dice is an easy enough concept. But you can usually see if it's a bad roll before making that choice. You take the risk of rolling worse or rolling better. Makes sense.
The only way I see a reroll type ability working (or having a point rather) would be if your pandorica stored the ability you rolled until you chose to fire it off yourself. In that case you can see your poor roll and pop your cooldown to try again. But nothing I read would indicate it functioning like that. (If it did forgive me, for I may have overlooked it and my whole post could then be deemed pointless.) Another alternative would be a literal Re-Roll. Roll a 6, press ability, receive another 6.

Anyways as it stands you don't know what you're going to get, but you do know it will be rerolled. Is there a difference then to just plain rolling? Imagine grabbing a couple dice, closing your eyes and throwing them on the table. Without opening your eyes you roll them again before looking. You can't count the dice until you see them, so why exactly did you roll it twice? See where I'm getting at?


On a somewhat unrelated note, I sort of imagined an ability I'd have made for the gadgeteer were it my own creation. Seems like gambling classes should have abilities to cheat their own luck. This ability I'd call "Stack the deck" would do something like remove all the duds from your roll table for your next roll.

Anyways, I'll likely be back to look at your next set of patch notes. Not sure why, but this has yet to lose my interest.

Thank you for always coming back, I really do like the feedback. >//w//>

As for Random Deal, I can see what you mean, it could be more of a big waste then bad luck.
What if Random Deal did it's reroll but also did what your "Stack the Deck" does? Like, you use it,you get a non-Dud number, it saves the number as like a buff, and then the next time you roll a dud, Random Deal's roll is used instead? To make that work, there could be a Random Deals for each Pandorica then, Random Deal-White and Random Deal-Black, that way you wouldn't have to waste a roll that would be good for one but not the other and it could store both at the same time as two separate buffs.

Updates

General
-Added lists to Tinker and both jobs says what is on and off Global Cooldowns.

Tinker
-Sidewinder Shell now also pushes the user 10 yalms away from its target.
-In order to use Repair on an Automaton or another person's equipment, the target must be close in proximity to the user.

Mechanist
-In order to use Maintenance, the Automaton must be close in proximity to the user.
-In order to use Ventriloquy, the Automaton must be at least 10 yalms away from the user.

Gadgeteer
-Massive overhaul for Random Deal. Split into Random Deal-White and Random Deal-Black. Rolls a number between 1-14, minus Dud numbers (numbers changed depending on Pandorica), and places a "Random Deal-White/Black" buff on the user with the number just rolled. The next time the users uses a Pandorica and roll a dud, the number on the Random Deal buff will be used instead, depending on the Pandorica.
-Rapid Deal now places a "Rapid Roll" buff on user for 10 seconds. As long as the Rapid Roll buff is on, the user's Pandorica cooldown time will be cut in-half (after factoring Skill Speed).
