Guild Wars 2

Hey all, I’m a fairly new player to the game. Having played other MMOs I believe I can handle myself pretty well and I do have a fairly good understanding for this game so far. I was looking at the engineer since it appears to be one of the most “active” play style professions in the game since I don’t necessarily like the “brain dead” game play of pressing a button or two to complete my task. After looking around on the forums and other sites, I found many different views with nothing really concrete as a conclusion. Therefore, I was wondering how does Engineer fair in the PvE scene at the moment? In hopes someone can shed some light on this question. Is the profession not needed in group play as some have said because other professions can do everything it can better? Is it one of the top condi damage which should guarantee a spot for long fights or in case there is no other condi build toons in the group?

Sup.

If you are wondering for pve, you might have seen outdated posts, since the recent buffs have guaranteed a decent spot for the engineers as a dps role, either Condition or Power build, the Power build is a friendly newbie build since you only use you AA and a few skills for get the Job done.

The condition build is the one that resembles what an engi is capable to do when used as his max potential, if you learn the hard and bitter rotation that condi engi is, you will get a very sastisfyng dps.

You shouldn’t have problems finding a group that accepts you, since the recent buffs have made Engies a more trusting source of dps than before, with the addition of an aura that buffs parties with a condi composition.
