On a side note, I love Wizard. He's one of the best designed characters in BfN, even with a few issues.
Hovewrgoat surprised me with how much I like the character. When we first knew who was in those chests, the fact that the zombie was a goat threw me off; 'A goat is not a zombie!', but it's definitely a great character.
Tubular Turbo is speed boost done right; unlike the double time of the BfN Engineer that is often useless. It's especially handy when moving to a new point while attacking in TT, and is useful at any time without worrying about where to put it.
The mega awesome laser is a slightly mobile turret mode which GW2 has an overabundance of, but it's not bad. It does what's on the tin.
The damage buff booster beam is great, and in GW2's heyday, you'd often see a scientist and a hovergoat latched onto another zombie, usually a foot soldier of course, keeping them alive and pouring out the damage. It doesn't give a huge boost, it boosts one player, and you have be fairly close to keep the beam on your ally.
You don't see the goat that often in multiplayer matches these days, but it screams support and its kit fits so well. I had come up with a few variants back in the GW3 discussion days on the GW2 forums (scapegoat and alpine goat were 2 I can recall easily), and I'd love for the goat to come back or at the least, have its kit migrated to a new zombie.
@Iron_Guard8Gotta love how quickly the community forgot about the series long history of zombie animals, including the ones used as weapons, when they discovered it was a goat and not gravedigger or gargantuar lmao.
Wizard is good but he also has a ton of problems that prevent him from being great.
I think they should just keep hovergoat rather than give his kit to a new zombie.
Turbo was so good and they never managed to recreate an ability as good again for support characters.
