Guild Wars 2

Just watched HoT strongholds and I’ve gotta say that it’s interesting how they did that. I liked the looks of it myself it actually sounds like many of the PVE only players liked it as well.

I just had a suggestion though.

Early on in the beginning of the game there was talk in the suggestions folder about making the engineer a bit more useful in the BGs and I think you have a new chance at doing just that again here in this expansion please don’t miss it.

It’s required to have those skritt bombers open the door, why not make explosive engineers do a bit more damage than the rest when it comes to opening those doors.

When I was watching all of these videos on PVP I never see engineers outside of those who are using turrets or the FT, not a single one is doing anything other than WvW, so I gotta say I wonder if there is a huge lack of engineers in tPVP and if so, wouldn’t it benefit your game to include them in some way?

The suggestions folder was filled with people making suggestions about the engineer having faster building times for turrets, and other such skills which would increase their number in these pvp events wouldn’t it benefit the game to have engineers bringing extra skills to these scenarios under certain conditions (like actually being speced for use with explosives so that explosives do more seige damage or actually being speced for tools in order to have a fast seige building time in WvW?

I’m no expert at PVP and I don’t claim to be but I think it might help the class by including the skillset the class’s name suggests it has.

There is absolutely no huge lack of engineers in tpvp. Right now they are one of the strongest classes in tpvp and the meta build uses the celestial amulet, rifle, grenades and tool kit. And did I miss something during the stronghold streams? I thought players would be unable to damage the doors.

Then you play against very bad people, you can shut down a turret engineer by just walking away and going to another point, or simply cleave his turrets.

But this build: http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Engineer_-_Celestial_Rifle
Is actually more common in high level tpvp and way stronger trust me

OP, i believe no one should have an advantage like that in any kind of game mode…it seems so unfair…

I agree. Such gimmicks might be interesting for WvW where special gimmicks are already present. But not for pvp.

A professions value should be based on it’s performance, but I’d hate to see “autoattacks an inanimate object pretty well” as a plus.

It sure looked like a single rifle turret could take out all skritt bombers while you did your own thing wherever else on the map.
