Guild Wars 2

I’m an engineer, and have a balanced build. I play mostly PvE, so it bothers me greatly that when I’m in crowded DE’s it’s often hard to get enough damage on mobs to get exp and loot. I’ve tried switching between flamethrower (my favorite) and the rifle. The rifle actually has a couple of good burst damage attacks, but that isn’t even enough to properly get kill credit.

Will ArenaNet make changes to improve on this issue, or am I simply doing something wrong?

They’re currently looking into addressing participation in events with regards to reward level (Bronze/Silver/Gold). This may include changes that make it easier to mark enemies for experience and loot.

You’re not alone on this. I’m an Elementalist and even I have trouble tagging enemies in some of the more popular Orr events, many times they die before they even pop in on my screen.
