Guild Wars 2

They make it obvious how absolutely buffed engies are. You’d think people would tone it down a bit and keep things subtle. They should have went all-in with 3 engies and 2 eles.

So what your saying is you lost to them and you came here to cry about it?

This was the same thing everyone cried after the Longbow buff on rangers. They were all over PvP. Nothing has been buffed by way of the engineer in months. What makes them particularly strong today over 2-3 months ago?

I think it is cute when people claim teams as “tacky”, “cheese”, and my personal favorite “cancer”. As if any of those unoriginal buzz words mean anything in these situations.

hmm… 11/4:
Engineer
Magnetic Shield: This skill can now be used while moving and will no longer root the engineer in place.
Slick Shoes: Reduced the cooldown of this skill from 60 seconds to 45 seconds.
Super Speed: Reduced the cooldown of this skill from 45 seconds to 30 seconds.

those put slick shoes at viable/good/meta, somewhere in there on the viability scale. and the shield buff is significant but not as relevant to complaints.

plus the abjured winning w/ 2 engis is a significant popularity buff.

I don’t think you understand how buffs work. And this is a major part to why balance in this game is so awful.

You don’t have to directly increase the number of a skill (or class) to buff it.

Seems nobody really gets that concept …

Engi is fine, celestial is not, however regardless of this 5 engis is a very bad team comp and should not win vs another premade of equal skill.

Again .. nothing to do with celestial. It’s runes and sigils that ruin everything not the amulet. Also overcharged shot. Also grenades having no counterplay. Also stowing magnet.

Wilco.1458:

Also grenades having no counterplay.

grenades are a skillshot, unpredictable movement is the counterplay.

skillshot at range, shotgun most of the time.
