So I have been leveling my alt and no matter what way I look at it I feel under powered no matter the class I play.

The only real analogy I have is this. Ele is a Swiss army knife and no matter what “knife” I use I miss all the cool little tools the Swiss army knife has.

I’ve got the same exact problem. Necro is very good for PvE with Well’s etc.. but as much as I try I just can’t PvP with it.
Engineer was fun, very fun actually but I only got mine to 15 before I gave up and my engi got deleted, not sure why :/

Though now I’m not so much of a Newb with the game I wouldn’t mind trying Engi again.

yea I always have the same in every game. So far I’ve always managed to pick the class I love on the first time, and they are always multitaskers. So it’s hard trying other classes.

But engineer can be very fun for ele players. If specced the fun way.
You can do boring (non ele style) with turrets/elixirs and just spam ur main weapon attacks but personally I went with bomb kit, grenade kit and elixir gun, and healing turret.

And you’ll be doing trible water field blasts in that 1 sec water field from turrets, switching between 3 kits for complex dps rotation which resembles ele style but same time is completely different. And instead of snare/stun locks you’ll be doing blind locks.
Lvling process for engi was extremely fun. Just make sure to get swiftness on kit swap asap!
PvE perspective I like engi much more, but D/D solo pvp is much more fun than anything else. Can’t replace that.

Ele is not for everyone tbh some people may like it some people dont i myself found it the easiest class to pve and pvp with cuz u rarely ever die. and u can pretty much 3v1 easily. but if u want to try necro try a well bombing build thats what im actually using now since ima start lvling up my necro since i got my ele to 80 finally lol

for the build try 30/20/20/0/0 its pretty good imo and i have no problem with taking out multiple peeps with it aswell in ur armor put 6x scholar runes and for ur sigils on ur staff put superior sigil of force and for ur secondary weapons will be dagger/warhorn put bloodlust on one and superior sigil of fire on the other this build has been excellent so far

P.S make sure u get a knights amulet put zerker jewl in it ^^

on ur staff put superior sigil of force

Sigil of Battle gives you between 3 and 9 might boons, which exceeds the +5% damage that Sigil of Force gives. I’d recommend using it instead.

If you can read this then it is proof that ArenaNet’s moderators just, kind and fair.

the only reason why i dont use battle is because the whole purpose of this build is for staff marks and well damage thats pretty much it the only time i switch to dagger/warhorn is for the swiftness buff interupt and if an enemy tries to run away from me but in all ur goona be in the back of the pack bombing the crap out the other team pretty much lol but yea if u like close combat i would choose battle aswell definitly Must have on ur utility belt also is Blood is Power for the 10 might stacks to get it started ^^
