Lets fix Chomper
Alright Chomper needs some work, since he's the only melee class the Plants have and I feel they need a stronger close range offense character. A Chomper should be feared, atm he's just one huge crit...

LOL I love how people disagree with someone and automatically think they must be a bad player with Chomper.
In GW1 I constantly got top kills with a biting Chomper, in GW2 it' alot harder to creep up stealthy on your opponent thanks to the horrible spotting mechanic in this game. Seeing all my opposition is bad enough, but why in the hell do I need to see all the players on my side?
Anyway back to Chomper, with the kills you got with your Chomp Cannon Chompers you could of got far easier with Goop equipped.It's too situational. You bring up about one shotting a Scientist. That's fine and dandy until you meet a Scientist which warps in on your face, Chomp Cannon won't save you then. By the time Chomper takes to use the attack you would be dead, at least you have a chance with Goop.
Chomp Cannon needs to have more Damage imo. I mean how many times in GW1 would you see a Foot Soldier camp on a roof or just out of your reach as a Chomper player and all you can do is spit on him or burrow. It would be nice to OHKO any camper in GW2 with it and for that to happen it needs more damage.
Also I don't know if you know, but my ideas were just that. I didn't want all those buffs, I was just giving out viable solutions to help the Plants have a class equal to Super Brains. Oh and Cosmic Brains can OHKO you as well with his charged punch if you are hurt to be unrevivable. So Zombies do have that as well.
Now go run free with the Chompers and keep playing such a fun class.
Keep the different opinions coming guys. I love hearing both sides of why or why not the Chomper should be buffed.
It was an assumption based on your desire to overbuff a class that does not need to be touched. (Though I still agree with you that certain chars should be quicker to swallow. Mainly Imps)
Scientist at a distance, you should think what would be better to do if you have Chomp Cannon. If they are looking at you and you know they might not use teleport soon, One shot them. IF they are about to teleport just snare them and begin the circle bite. Every move is situational.
As I said, it does 100 damage on a direct hit so if you can aim it, you can do a heavy some of damage. There is no reason it should One shot someone from a distance and be able to do so from afar. I believe it is designed for people who you have already damaged and are escaping.
Cosmic Brainz fully charged hit right in someones face does I believe 70 damage. That does not one shot any class at full health.
I am trying to keep them fun and not OP.

It nearly one shots a Vampire Flower :P
It's meant to be finisher move, but if hit right that's an unrevivable kill. The thing with the Scientist is you can goop, burrow or just goop and swallow to counter him up close. We may disagree on Chomp Cannon's damage, but I know what you are saying. Which to me is a shame as I expected more from the attack.
A good Scientist will always have a teleport ready for you. I have noticed so many Scientist's using their teleport to move faster in the map after just re-spawning when I'm on the Zombie side and I just want to face palm. Scientist's you need to watch out for in close range are the Zoologist, Marine Biologist and Chemist. These 3 will decimate you once they warp in on you in close range and Chomp Cannon won't save you when that happens. However sure if they aren't focused on you I can see how you like Chomp Cannon.
