Guild Wars 2

The Engineer Class was designed to be one of the most responsible, supportive , team players class in the game.

They are equipped with turrets, kits, gadgets to support themselves and their team. Even their traits revolve around their supports.

I was always Excited when an Engineer is fighting alongside the group. They always risk their lives by running to the rescue to save the situations while others run away.

As The Scapegoat Child Class….

They rarely get invited to any dungeon group parties.

They always get Blamed when things don’t go well even when they didn’t do anything wrong. Many times they are the first to apologies just to keep the peace.

One thing that hurt me is when other would insult them and humiliate them for not being ‘on top of the game’, even though they are doing their best in helping saving lives.

They are the only class who get hit the hardest with nerfs, which not only impacted and effected their own support but their abilities in helping saving lives. In other word, they were Punished for being Supportive.

As the Scapegoat Child, they are looked upon as the ‘lowest of the piles’ and ‘never good enough’ class.

They Feel they are Inadequate, unlovable, Worthless, Undeserved, "singled out’ and never will ‘fit in’ .

They Blame themselves for not being a ‘Special’ class.

They carry the Burden of Shame, Anger and Rejection in their every day life in guild wars 2.

At the end they are Forced to Learn no-matter what; they can never win, the love, Care, Attention and Support by the devs.

Is Engineer ‘The Scapegoat Child’ class?

I leave room for comments………………..

^THIS ON SO MANY LEVELS IN PVE ROFL

The engineer is at the bottom of the list of the three red-haired stepchildren. The other two could be ‘naturalized’ through a few major changes to the class and game. The engineer needs to be re-engineered. I love the idea of the engineer. I have one at 80. I don’t, however, play my engineer.

On headstart day 2, the first time I ran TA story mode was with a pug with an Asura engineer named Bomberman who ran around my warrior planting mines and stuff. It was the most entertaining thing I’ve ever seen, so now I’m conditioned to pick the engineer above every other prof when pugging, like some kind of positive reinforcement.

Inc mandatory quote:

Because he’s the hero Guild wars deserves, but not the one it needs right now…and so we’ll nerf him, because he can take it. Because he’s not a hero. He’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector…an engineer.

Engineers win the award for most messed up class…that needs a complete revision…

They have some nice stuff…grenade/bomb kits which are effective and the flamethrower which is just cool to use…but otherwise they are messed up…turrets are only good for defending a point…no use at all in mobile offense which is 90% of the game…

Watching the SOTG video, when engineers got mentioned even the developers seemed to be shaking there heads and at a loss of what to do with them…I get the feeling if they could go back in time delete engineers from the game and replace them with another class…they would…

It’s okay. If you think about it, it’s genius.

Anet will obviously nerf every class but warrior into oblivion and then once everyone quits the other classes, they can just delete them and not have to worry about balance anymore.

It’s just like how they can’t do simple things like have ascended versions of all stat combos. The obvious goal is to force everyone into berserker gear.

Are you trying to be a support role? A tank? Too bad. Not only are we forgoing the trinity, we will forbid anything that resembles it. Playing anything but a dps role is a crime punishable by banning. And so is farming. You will receive whatever we give you and like it, and don’t try to exploit by using things such as “skill” or “thinking out of the box” since we’ll nerf and ban it. Every class has dozens of skills? Nope. You only have 10. You will use the right way to build a class and have fun with it. Now go to the gem store.

In PvE? Engineer is actually pretty strong, you spam grenades all day, every day and deal tons of damage.

Most people just screw it up by thinking they can do things other than spam grenades. Yeah you have all these cool skills that look like they’d do something, but they don’t. Take a bunch of buffs and go develop carpel tunnel spamming nades.
