Guild Wars 2

This is a game i have not played in a long-longgg time. I recently burned through some other MMO’s and i’m ready to come back to this old standard- but i fear the worst for myself…

Sadly- and unfortunately, i quit about 2 years ago as my engineer was not performing how i wanted him to. Long story short, i found i did great by playing to my classes strengths, it wasn’t a matter of balance, it was a matter of disappointment.

My combat consisted of about 2 different builds

-PvP build which i used grenades- fantastic for the big wvw stuff but so incredibly shallow and repetitive. I wanted to believe i could combo this with my wrench but this type of combat was so unorthodox i just found it quite tiresome. A class which sucks at both melee and ranged combat which excel at using both in combination with each other- essentially making me the greatest puss of all time in order to beat someone and putting a ton of effort and practice into doing so (far more than a warrior or ranger)

-PvE build where i just laid down bombs. I found this highly effective and actually allowed me to kill things far quicker than any other class. But then again- a shallow and boring way to play. It’s as if my entire virtual life was spent making a poop trail which ended up killing my enemies very quickly, so quickly that changing for fun’s sake was overshadowed by this builds effectiveness.

Has engineer changed?

Another question is how the leveling is. I was told a long time ago that this game encouraged a second play through (which i hate, i never liked rerolling) and i was thinking about trying another class with a more exciting combat role.

I think you should wait a few years with start playing this game.

I don’t know much about the Engi, but I would definitely give other classes a shot. You don’t have to play through the whole thing just go into PvP and give them a whirl. I personally have 5 lvl 80s ( I regularly play 4 of the 5), and since each play through is different it’s a different experience each time.
