Give chomper a break
This is to the people who think chomper is weak in GW2. If you don't think he's weak then this message isn't aimed at you. I don't know how many times I've seen a post about buffing chomper in the ...

I shudder to think what'd happen if Chomper gets too many buffs. You think Electro Brainz is bad right now? Imagine trying to deal with a ton of chompers if he had little to no vulnerable downtime between instakills.
We've clearly seen what happens when people find out a class is overtuned - between the imp spam in beta, the rose spam at launch, and the overall Super Brainz/Z Mech spam we have now.
To be honest, my worst nightmare when I'm a Zombie is a competent chomper, especially if it is a Fire Chomper. To add to my eternal frustration with Chompers, I have the curse to be the first one to get eaten. But this dorsn't change the fact that the Chomp Thing and Toxic Chomper could use a rather high damage increase.
Good Chomper players are always scary to contend with. You usually see them on defense, if at all - because that's where they shine.
Chomper's a hard thing to Balance. He could use some help in some areas - especially in offensive situations, but buffing him too much wouldn't be good for this game. However, some variants need some help, like Chomp Thing, Toxic Chomper, and Chompula.
-Thing needs to do more damage for his low HP.
-Toxic either needs a damage buff, or to have his Toxic Aura strengthened.
-Chompula could stand to be looked at. Him regaining some health on swallows is a dated concept as we can regen back to full in this game. It's still useful - but when you have the vampire sunflower healing herself by dealing damage, Chompula's gimmick seems pretty underwhelming. Maybe make swallows give even more HP?
- Approved

Agree on the changes for these guys. Heck, even on easy Thing doesn't do a lot of damage to bosses on Ops, which says something. Toxic Chomper I wish I could like but because of his low damage I find myself only getting kills with his swallow. His spray is more or less there for show.
