Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

I’m a returning player with a 56 Asura Engineer, but I’m curious…I’m an avid MMO player who loves to do damage-over-time effects. Who does that well in this game?

Thanks.

Engineer does….

But alot of classes do, necro can, ele can, certain classes with some sigils can….but eng is a good condi class when built for it.

engineer is interesting because it’s a class that does great ‘dots’, or as they are called here conditions but it very weak to them.

necromancer is the god of conditions, they can consume them for health, transfer conditions an enemy puts on them back to them, turn boons (positive buffs) into conditions, and even spread the conditions of one enemy to others.

conditions are excellent in pvp and wvw, however in pve they are extremely sub par. so if doing ‘dots’ is your goal i would suggest rolling a necromancer for pvp. once you get good people will fear you, especially engineers as you are their hard counter.

Conditions aren’t weak on engies running rabid.

i know bud. engineers are great at outputting conditions, but are very weak to them. so a clever necromancer can transfer all of those conditions right back to them, killing them. i main engineer and know how great a rabid engineer can be, and by extension i know they will nearly always loose to a good condition necromancer. for conditions engineer is a great choice, but necromancer is the beast (accidentally used the best word) choice.

PU Mesmer. Just saying.

PU mesmers aren’t that great at condis. Condi shatter is better. Neither have a good place in spvp though.
