Useless character abilities
Just wondering how many of the character abilities are never used because they seem to be nearly useless. I play a lot of solo games and the imp impkata is one that seems to be nearly useless either...

Retro gatling
Peashooter super jump
Armored heal station
Sprint burrow (can help armor chomper)
Long bomb (worked in 1st game, broken in this one)
Oh I love long bomb. I use it often and get some hilarious multi-vanquishes with it at long range.
The Turbo Jackhammer is pretty bad though. Faster but much like sprint burrow it doesn't last long enough to justify it.
Sprint burrow is pretty janky in its grab-box (which I don't remember it being this bad in GW1); also with the distance and speed that it travels at feels more of a downgrade than an alternate burrow (more insulting that the unicorn's jump functions better at this). Turbo, on the other hand I rarely have a problem with, but then again I mostly use the engineer's jack for defensive or medium distance movement purposes.
My list of useless abilities:
Citron - Mood Shield
The Mood Shield lasts too short, so what's the point of actually using it if it lasts that short?
Corn - Multi-Shuck
His Multi-Shuck has too slow of a velocity, so why use it at all?
Cactus - Red Artichoke
It's nowhere near as good as the standard artichoke.
Superhero - Super Guided Ultra Ball
His Super Guided Ultra Ball is largely useless, because it's too slow!
Soldier - ZPG
His ZPG has too slow of a velocity to accurately vanquish a target especially while it's moving.
Scientist - Armored Heal Station
His Armored Heal Station does not provide a quick-enough health regeneration to anyone standing next to it.
All-Star - Shield Decoy
The Shield Decoy serves no purpose whatsoever; it's too weak, and only work as a decorative ability.
