Guild Wars 2

“After an hour or so of getting destroyed by either zergs, or one engineer that killed three of us without losing any health, I wasn’t having much fun.”

The inability to 1v2 and even 1v3 in this game is greatly exaggerated. WvW only extends this with possibility with gear. The multitude of people that only know how to zerg in this environment doesn’t help much either, especially since their builds probably focus on that concept. Add in the fact the Engineer gets plenty of blinds and tools to outplay opponents with a healthy chunk of AoE damage and frankly this is easily believable.

I mean, in hotjoin sPvP it isn’t exactly rare to succeed in 1v2 fights. 1v3 isn’t that much of a stretch.

Engineer probably had high-tier gear, and was probably more experienced than ‘a week or so.’ There’s a lot you can learn and earn in a week, but it just doesn’t quite stack up well against what you can do when you start to truly understand the class. Engineers are also actually pretty good at dealing with being outnumbered, as long as they can keep clear – it’s when the enemies are persistent that the problems arise.

The OP’s quote comes from a low-level character who is frustrated and lacks knowledge on the ins and outs of ThreeDub, let lone any PvP format. I don’t know what the OP is trying to say here, but one frustrated new guy doesn’t really prove anything other than that the community needs to help others out, instead of shouting for nerfs and complaining about stuff all the time.

The only way that guy is going to improve in, and see the fun of, ThreeDub… And the only way the state of Engineer is going to truly improve, is if we as a community start being a proper community. In game, I see nothing but nice people out to help their fellow players whenever help is asked for. So why isn’t the same here?

Wasdclick,

I wasn’t trying to say anything, just share a quote I found ironic. You don’t hear that an engineer killed anyone often.

Chaba: tis true unfortunately, we’re never complained about.

I was thinking the same thing wasdclick only because right pvp seems to be the only place that engineers can shine.

But there’s one thing even you can’t deny and that’s this class is broken even in pvp. There are far too many bugs and inconsistancies that they need to work on to make this class a viable contender for any part of the game. You can stack toughness all you want or combine toughness with healing powers and immunities but that doesn’t help you make kills it just prolongs the fight. There’s STILL the issue of even condi damage builds in other classes three shotting players in pvp I’ve seen it myself and until all classes can 1 shot like the thief and warrior or all classes have the ability to three shot with condi builds thru careful preparation there will continue to be imbalance issues especially with the engineer.

We don’t just need a better community we need our bugs and inconsistancies squashed once and for all. it’s going on 5 months now.
