Hey guys, im kinda new to this game, im looking for a good OFFENSIVE ranged class.

I have an Enginner, lvl 9, and its look like its so hard to play. I feel like i can do easy damage with my warrior/ranger, but with engineer dont.

I would like to know from experienced 80+ engineers, if the class worth it. I like being a ranged class that does great damage, both AOE or single target, depends on if i am in SPvP or WvW.

I dont care about defense/utility for group, id rather have a great damage than that.

How u guys felling with the class? Does it do great damage?

Thank you every1!

For pvp i dont think anything can match the pressure of an HGH/nade engineer

For PvP, I would say Ranger, Warrior, Elementalist, Thief are your best bet. For PvE Engineer and Guardian offer the best in DPS + Utility. Personally I’m sitting just over 60% Crit and 73% crit dmg. I hit often and have some good Condi Dmg to go with it. Add either the Healing Turret or Elixer Gun and you have good DPS with some quick heals as well.

Engi definitely worth it if you want to play “hard mode” class with lots of tricks. But i suppose it’s a not good choice for inexperienced player.

How about mobility and damage(single target/AOE)? Are you guys satisfied with enginner?

Engi’s are most viable when traited and equipped to operate at far, medium and close range. I don’t think you will be satisfied with Engi if you are looking for and exclusive, far-ranged build.

Start from a distance sure, but you will need to move in close and then back out again to fully exploit your weapons/kits potential.

You are better off just playing around with it yourself and doing the opposite of everything anyone on this thread has said so far.

DaFaq you say?

Engi is good class if you have patients to learn it and willing to try things that most people will not. What i mean by that is mixing traits and armor stats runes and sigils. Find what you like and stick to it I have 3 builds at moment (3 builds make 6 different play styles for me) I dont use turrets in any of them while turrets are useful they dont compliment my solo play style enough cool down timers are way to long for fast moving groups or mobs that die fast.

My best advice to you is to try it try different things but remember engi is support class My personal fav class is engi but other classes can output damage and defenses better Don’t get me wrong enegizerks can toss some heavy damage but D as expected is bare minimum. So for world boss with nasty large aoes you are pretty much gonna die on 1 hit lol, that’s not good cause you are support if support dies not helping no one not even yourself.

So you gotta build the engi to match your play style and or circumstance. want to run in groups go a boon/heal support you’ll help groups a great deal.
You wanna solo not worried about dying use berserker buld kick out good damage and keep on moving. (once get hang of it you wont die often) (I don’t recommend for some dungeons least not first time in one lol)
Every build I have I figured out on my own no guides followed lotta good guides out there though for an engi. But it’s more rewarding and you understand things better making your own.

Not sure if my wall of text helped you decide or not but as any class try em all some classes arnt for everyone unlike GW1 I had 1 of each class enjoyed them all I dislike most classes n gw2 ranged classes has been bout the only one that held my interest engi and ranger warrior is so/so gw2 itself is just so/so though lol.

Just experiment with engi you may or may not love it.

It’s actually quite a tribute to the game design of the engineer class that you need an engineering mindset to try non-standard approaches.

I wouldn’t say the engineer is meant for long-range gameplay per se, but they are very good at area control and CC in my experience. I’m having a blast with PvE long range by combining the rifle with wrench throws and rockets from toolbelt. Not as crazy about nades because of ping issues but I’ve heard that traited right they quite viable.
