So, this is likely going to get mixed responses. I have not played Guild Wars since May-June, due to life being a bit hectic.

What’s new that I should learn about? Have there been huge balance changes to the Engineer class as a whole? I see a new healing skill that reads pretty cool. However, I fall back to those of you more up to speed.

Also, if there is a place where I could read a tl;dr version of the last few updates (The wiki is ok, but that’s tough at work) that would be awesome.

Thank you, community.

All of the game updates. Pretty easy to scan through for the Engi-specific notes.

Long story short:

Our conditions builds are tops in WvW/PvP.
We’re still awesome in dungeons.
Elixir Infused Bombs got a buff.
Speedy Kits got a nerf.
Turrets got their hp buffed in PvE but it really doesn’t mean much.
Rocket Boots are awesome.
Traveler Runes are amazing for WvW.
Ascended weapon power doesn’t apply to kits (much grumbling).
Still no fix to back items clipping our kit hobosacks.

Awesome, Thank you. I need to find a good condition build… I was running FT/EG before.

EG’s toolbelt is now a stun break. A real boost for FT/EG builds.
