Guild Wars 2

The engineer has, historically, been argueably the weakest class since the game’s release. It has had well more significant nerfs then buffs with every update, including this update. I would like to throw out the idea of ANet rebuilding this class from the bottom up. (as done in GW1 for the Dervish) While i admit the chance that this will improve the engineer long term is low, i would like to see something tried. I would happily trade my expensive equipment and runes built to the build i used until this update for at least 3 more viable builds for this class.

Discuss.

Discuss? Seems more like a troll unless you provide some support for your assertion that it has “been argueably [sic] the weakest class since the game’s release”. There have been many who have had great success with the profession in a variety of settings making your assertion more than a little speculative and inflammatory.

Lol no.

Engi is very viable.

I used to be on the “Engineer is the weakest” bandwagon, but…well, it’s not. We have a video of an Engineer soloing a Tower, there’ve been Engineers that became champions of sPvP tourneys, and as of the latest patch we can easily be considered one of the more mobile classes in the game (thanks to the change on Rocket Boots; even if the Super Jump is disabled, that’s still a quick zip 900+ forward every 20 seconds, untraited). We have a ton of viable builds (mostly determined by playstyle and mindset, as opposed to simple mechanics).

I don’t think a complete rebuild is necessary, anymore; I do think we need more weapon choices, the significance of Kits to be reevaluated (after the weapon choice expansion, of course), our bugs to be addressed (or at least known of), Turrets to scale properly (AI improvement is something that every single minion-having class should be receiving, before anybody brings it up) and some better (and more unique) Elite Skill choices (Mortar is crap, Elixir X is an RNG-ridden composite of three other classes’ Elite Skills, and Supply Crate, our best Elite, is a bunch of utility skills in a box with some bandaids).

lol. beeing bad at a class is one side and totally forgiveable. Coming to the forums and opening a thread about how bad you are at a class and wanting to have it changes is a … bold move.
