Guild Wars 2

@ Anet. Can we please give another profession (Engy?) party stability share similar to guardian stand your ground? 24-28 sec cd reduction with similar stacks. It will give Frontline engy a great boost and guardians that are bored can play engy sometimes.

Plus stability is getting further nerf (trait being moved to GM) once expansion hits for guardians so another source of party stability would give melee groups a chance against ranged meta.

considering engineer was designed to be weak vs cc, no.

we are getting the ‘road’ that pulses stability with the revenant anyhow.

No, engineer was designed to be weak against Conditions, and solid against CC.

No. it was designed to be weak against both. it doesn’t have few stunbreakers and awful stab (only on thumper 1sec and B toss. the elites with stab are a joke) by accident. engineer is weak vs cc and conditions.

The engineers defense against cc is in their traits, not just by pure stability like other classes. Protection injection, cloaking device, stabilized armor, leg mods etc.

only cloaking device actually defends against cc. the rest mitigate damage when you arrive cc’d, which makes sense for a profession that is weak against cc. sure, you may get stun locked, but you will take less damage when you are.

considering most engineer builds run a single stunbreak and no stability I would definitely say they are weak vs it.

+1 plus engies grenade is getting nerf and engy is possibly getting hammer which would make it ideal. I am not saying it has to be as strong as guardian stab but any party stab on 24-30 sec rotation would keep balance between melee train & ranged meta. Otherwise with guard stab nerf melee trains will have even less incentive to push…
