Guild Wars 2

My team is getting 1 shot by grenades. It is making pvp unplayable. Please fix this . Thank You

This is a once in a lifetime chance though. Grab four friends and all play engineer. Watch the hilarity ensue.

It’ll be fixed soon, probably, but it’s silly and might as well laugh it out before the fix. World bosses melting before doubled HP was pretty funny for the short time it was up.

Think about it. My thief has a broken trait that has been broken for months and greatly affects my build and play style.

Expect the engi ability to last for months due to their inactivity and sloth work ethics. I will not be buying their upgrade or so called expansion.

..and shatter on mesmer

..and burns on guardian…

and…

Thanks Anet for NOT testing the patch at all and screwing up what didnt need fixing.

/facepalm

Everyone rages about engi oneshots and noone gives a kitten about mesmers oneshoting with their f1 and its not even a bug.

I’ve had some fun with my grenadier engi build.

That being said, I’ve also had as many (if not more) frustrating moments from spin-to-win GS guardians and backstab/heartseeker thieves. It’s not just engis that are one-shotting people (or close to it).

The engi build is also ridiculously easy to counter if you just dodge out of the way of the first barrage. It has a what… 40 second cooldown?

Edit: oh yeah, and anything that has access to burning :P PvP is a little fast paced right now- perhaps a little too fast paced?

i have not been 1 shot by a mesmer. I have been shattered by 2 mesmers at the same time and that was insta death, like the nades. I guess everyone plays engi till they fix it

I don’t know… they “fixed” Clarion Bond trait pretty kitten quick on Ranger.

Pretty much Anet wanted to test this values with larger player number, its a faster clean/defeat system.

When you want something nerfed……..

LOL thats like a warrior fighting engineer

I have to admit that today it finally got to me with the amount of folks using this trait. It’s already harder to dodge the skill with a velocity change (basically hits you right as you see the red circles). I might just have to find something else to do until they can figure out how to fix their untested patch.

Shatter CAN 1 shot btw with the new 30% buff on targets not using a skill. You can very easily hit 15k+ with procs on squishy targets (vuln stacks can hurt)… and do so coming out of elongated stealth if you run Shatter/PU. I have had it happen to me, and have done it to others.

I dont usually rage in PvP, but I just couldnt take it anymore. Everyone is running that trait, and encouraging others to also… Its just silly and makes the game more unattractive than the mesmer buffs ever could. Grenadier needs to be fixed ASAP.

the spvp is a joke now

Not exactly once in a lifetime, this has happened many times on engie just with different things :P

Well once the bug is fixed grenadier should be fine the velocity increase wouldnt be a big deal if it cant pierce.
