Guild Wars 2

All joking aside. Thief and Warrior not the only one to get crazy burst damage. If anything i don’t think they need to nerf classes i think they need to look at damage as a whole. Maybe even look at toughness.

I know its WvW so the enemy could be lower lvl.

The definition of glass cannon builds. How much +crit% do you have all together?

Those people prolly had around 1800-2000 armor (upscaling).
Compared to a 2800 armor person they take about double damage.

Does this now mean I can laugh when people on the Mesmer forums say that Engineers are worse at PvP then Mesmers, balancing out the fact Mesmers don’t have Engineer’s AoE capabilities?

I’ve seen this video before… and yeah it’s wvw so there you go.
Level 80 exotics vs everything else.
My engineer in wvw gets eaten alive by any profession that is level 80 with full exotic gear.

Have you tried... building tanky Redfeather?..

I was in WvW last night and met an engineer that was build like a truck. She was standing around while a glass cannon thief was trying to kill her. He was barely denting her... lol

As for the OP... WvW video. There’s going to be uneven players all throughout, simply because of the gear discrepancies from the start. A level 1 can go in and be leveled to 80, but he’s not going to have anywhere near the survivability.

Lastly.. just have to say... SICK of seeing the word nerf (in general). Nerfs are a crappy way to deal with issues. I would love to see the devs BUFFING classes that need it. BUFF is a more pleasant word to see.

Not one of those players was a level 80 all of them have been scaled up… grats on being op vs someone with half stats.

I’m not surprised. Even without sigils on kits, the engineer appears to be the most balanced class in the game.

Although the video shows the providing great burst damage, I don’t feel they’re too strong either. I imagine Mace/Hammer from a Warrior makes a great counter.

Anyways, I think ANET could give themselves a pat on the back. Engineer simply plays well.
