Guild Wars 2

Every time i see an engineer nerf it just surprises me, Engineer is one of the weakest classes on the game in WvW and you want to NERF them? if anything they need to have a buff for every skill in their tree including mortar, flamethrower, grenade kit, AND elixer gun.

Seriously stop it. By nerfing this class over and over there is now meta unbalance with engineer, We already cant defend ourselfs solo against other classes very well in WvW, And facing off against 2 or 3 veterans gets us killed almost instantly in PvP.

If you want to do nerfs focus on the classes that can kill other players in one attack volley, Engineer is fully incapable of killing ANYONE in one attack volley let alone defending itself in WvW.

I also dont want to hear about how this thread got close because it was “too angry” Anet needs to seriously Rethink its character skill trees, because at the moment they are starting to have meta instability because you are nerfing the wrong classes.

>>> for the players if you support me simply type: +1 for stoping the nerf

Right now, engineer is one of the strongest classes in the game. HGH condition build is ridiculously powerful.

I have to admit, the 100 nades nerf was unwarranted. Not alot of people like the build and it was not OP

In pvp. In pve, they’re kinda meh. No use having control when every champ in dungeon has got defiant. And conditions have got their share of problems-

Can’t defend itself? Me-thinks you just don’t know how to defend yourself.
Hint: If you build for pure turrets (which SO MANY engineers do) you can’t defend yourself as you depend on the turrets to do it for you…this is working as intended.
If you build for defense, you have to wear down the enemy, if you build for offense…you have no defense…this is good balance.

I see pistol/shield engineers defend themselves just fine against 2-4 people in spvp plenty of times. Maybe, just maybe, your chosen skills just don’t work very well in defending oneself in pvp?
Engi in raw condition damage build is just like any bezerker build…defenseless. Also, pure condition damage in pvp is incredibly powerful (I’ve personally died a few times after killign an engineer just from their condition damage, my playstyle has no condition removal for my spvp character). People rarely build to cancel conditions reliably and repeatedly, go pure condition damage and watch how many people you just slaughter.

No class has high defense and high damage output simultaneously you build one way or the other, or build middle of the road and outsmart your competition. Even thieves don’t have amazing defense, I’ve killed more than a few while they were in stealth because they were bezerk built for raw damage.
