Hi ppl!

No other class has been able to take me down that fast before, it’s like they unload a bunch of skills all within the exact same moment.

Just take a look at the screenshot, lol!

I’m filing a bug report on this, since if this is an intended game mechanic, they may as well bury this game. I though thieves had insane burst, but they don’t even compare to this.

Just LOL. How about thief? Warrior? Mesmer? Engineers start to use some burst build and people start to freak out. Hey, wait a minute, this class is not supposed to have cool damage. Its easy to avoid I think if you are in 1v1, a lot of people dodged my pull or barrage, tho I’m not so good with it yet. Man up! And try to dodge.

I think no burst in this game is so sick, just quickness is.

Apparently you don’t read – like I said, I’ve never been “oneshot” like what happened here, simple as that. I didn’t even have time to react because (s)he landed the attack and I was dead – no time to dodge or anything, it happened exactly at the moment I was in the air jumping down from a small ledge behind the point. Need I explain it more?

Well, yes. He got lucky or he has skill. You say you have a lot of armor, tho only 15-16K hp, with is low but you try to compensate with armor. This burst might be “OP” or whatever but other classes can do similar thing. And to hit this you need to really know what you are doing. I play this build only for like two days so I suck with it but people who suck in PvP more than I do, die to this. Those who know this build and what Engi can do, avoid it, dodge the pull, dodge the barrage (probably because I’m slow with it) or even if I go inside them they survive.

But I guess I should see this coming. There are posts about thief all along, same with warrior or mesmer, now we have build which can kill fast, so whine topics are gona go for engineer also.

Just butting in, you could throw down 3 barrages if you managed to hit the 25% mark for instant TB skills recharge. Not saying that this happened, its just possible.

1hko burst should simply not be in the game.

This is something I agree with, but it’s something that needs to be addressed among multiple classes at the same time. Thieves, Engis, Warriors, Eles, and Mesmers all to my knowledge have fantastic burst combos that can one shot someone in certain builds. Some of those builds are much more viable then others on the grand scale, but I don’t think anyone should be completely one shot.

I agree that 100 Nades is too much, but only if multiple other burst builds are too strong as well. If the devs decide that the other burst builds are fine, then since in my opinion the Engi one is inferior with all factors combined I’d consider it fine as well.

Agreed.

I don’t think 100nade is too strong, just too duuurrr. Same for any 3 button haste or instagib build.

duuurrr are the GCs that miss their burst & die.

good are the GCs that miss their burst & live.

fighting equal level opponents make gib specs more challenging to play, because the opponent will have a strategy to neutralize your burst—so it becomes more of a chess match of how to effectively land your killshot & execution of contingencies. i think this spec epitomizes that idea very well.

I agree with Faeral,

Versus good player I have to set up my burst and only use it when I made him burst all his defensive cooldown.

While being full GC, I still have really long fight of dodging/blocking and baiting with other class.

Fighting a 100b warrior feel exactly like you said : a chest math. You are on your toe, you never know when he will try to combo you, same thing for him.

@Kodesh

I use more then 20+ different skills during a good fight with my 100nade, I doubt many class can say the same thing.
