Guild Wars 2

Is it just me or post-patch the population of engineers in WvW suddenly shot up 300%? At least this is the case in my server match up (SBI and CD).

Not that I’m complaining, the vast majority of them are FoTM rerolls who are learning to play the class and 70% of them are free bags.

Wondering if anybody noticed.

I haven’t noticed any increase of engineers here in the gold league of EU. In fact I have noticed a drop of engineers.

Thief, mesmer and warrior are the most popular roaming professions. Zerg meta is still hammer warriors, staff guardians, staff necromancers and elementalists.

Engineers are the new fotm.

LOL Rangers
Ha Ha Longbow Warriors
RIP Mesmers

Same.

Thieves have always been common, so have Warriors. Few more Mesmers then usual, and a see an odd Guardian step away from the zerg and roam a bit more. No idea whats up with that.
But with the nerf to Perplexity i see less Engineers, but its hard to tell as there were never that many to begin with.

Zerg meta has been the same its been for over a year now. All the Guardians and Warriors you can clump into one spot. Backed by Staff Ele’s, and just spam those walls, and lines, and static fields, and earthquakes. As i said, same old, same old.

There are more engineers but a 50% increase in active engines still means I’m the best while being the worst too. Rarely have another in a group or small havoc team.

We really do need more engineers. I see a lot more in PVE these days and in pvp they always were popular because they hold,points well. In wvw. . . .not so much even though hey can be amazing.

I only play Engineer. I mostly PvE with some WvW and once did PvP a year ago. I still hardly see any Engineers in Dungeons and Fractals.

I still see plenty of spamgineers roaming in WvW. They’ are still a major pain, despite the nerfs to perplexity.
