Guild Wars 2

Id like to see an all engineer guild. Has anyone considered this or started one already? We seem to be a minority group that for some reason sticks with the profession no matter what. I think it would be fun.

I actually run an all engineer team for tournaments atm. You might have seen us around Anvil Rock or in matches. The team is called “Care Package Inbound [CPI]”

I thought about the idea of an all Engineer Guild too. The idea was fun.

We have all the capabilities, TankCat, Lightning Burst, AOE Dps and Heals. We would make a good 5 man dungeon, sadly though, all we would be doing is playing Hardcore mode, but I guess that just makes us hardcore.

In WvWvW though, that would be a different story. Imagine if at least a group of 50-100 engineers were roaming
and all had at least 1 Turret in there inventory, and also Healing Turret. We would ACTUALLY be a force to be reckoned with. If all the engies say went Tankcat, or static discharge, the bounce rate, or survivability would be awe inspiring in a 50 man.

Imagine if we all had Rocket Turrets, the knockdown rate would be ridiculous. With all our Healing Turrets up in a clump, it would be nigh impossible to take us down for a while.

But Alas, that is tis but a dream, to be able to convince at least 50-100 dedicated Engineers to play, and be on at least every weekend and coordinate on WvW is a Pipe Dream.

I mean…WHERE are you gonna even FIND 10 engineers that are level 80 as their mains on the same servers?!

You forget the part where healing turret stacks really, REALLY weak basic regen, so having 50 of them accomplishes little more than having one of them does.

I would join this guild.

As would I. Playing on Aspenwood. I would happily join an all Engi team.

It would be pretty hilarious to have just a huge gang of Turret-and-Grenade Engineers set up along some kind of valley or something. Have a Hammer team and an Anvil team – Hammer sets up along the top, with Rocket Turret, Rifle Turret, and Grenade Kit, while Anvil runs in after an enemy group runs into the trap, with Flame Turret, Thumper Turret, and Throw Mine, to seal the exits.

we would have to be extremely coordinated

I think this would work better with 3 teams, 2 teams of static discharge engi’s running toolkit to crash the sides with grenades engi’s on higher ground, SD engi’s cover both exits with nails and use pushbacks/pulls to keep people in the middle of the trap while grenade engi’s rain death from above.

Troll to the max.

OMG you guys are too funny. I love this idea.

What do we got.

A few TankCats, maybe 10 of em.

20 Burst/Static Discharge?

5-10 Support/Elixir Gun Engineers?

Some Bomb Kit/Grenade Spammers, at least 10 also.

some Dedicated Turret users, or at least a knockback team of 5-10 also, utilizing all the knock back abilties.

I think we’d be a pretty decent force, long as we stay coordinated and don’t spam our Knockbacks for crucial moments.

walk with 7 TankCats in front, 3 in back.

Burst/Static Guys all in middle spread out. Bomb Kits and Grenade Spammers in Middle.

Have the KnockBack/Turret users spread out and watch for crucial moments to stun.

But still, we’d have to be VERY very coordinated and never mess up. A simple group of 10 Guardians could destroy us all probably if our KnockBack guys weren’t paying attention.

If they all had projectile reflect it’d pretty much be a lost cause.

Same with Mesmer’s.

I’m an engie on Fort Aspenwood too, seems many of you engies are here also for some off reason

Our Static Discharge Team alone could wreck a group quickly, and Grenade Spammers could easily clean up afterwards. Those guys have the easy jobs.

It’s down to the TankCats to head first into battle and draw attention to themselves, and have the Knockback team always ready to knock down potential threats to the Static Discharge Team.

Elixir Gun guys would have to be pretty on top of there game. Maybe carry there Elixir X for the Toolbelt revive, which would be immensely useful for the glass cannons if they stay grouped together

Let the Elixir Boys heal us up and let hte Tankcats deal TinyDunk the projectile reflectors

Or how about screw it all.

All 100 Engineers go Flamethrower Kit, stack ViT, Toughness, and Condition Damage.

Imagine 100 Engineers with Flamethrower Kits charging any group.

Sure our Flamethrowers miss alot, but if 100…ONE of us is bound to hit something.

Also if this idea goes off and we do it on FA, lets name the guild Fort Engineer!
Engie Pride!

We can call ourselves the Pyro Squadron.

just walk around burninating the countryside playing Trogdor 24/7

It’ll be hilarious

If this idea happens, I want to see specialized and dedicated squads of Engineers.

Squads of

TanksCats
Static Dischargers
Grenade Spammers
Elixir Gunners
Turret Spawners
Bomb and Mine Specialists
Pyro Squad
And a Squad of Knockbackers

preferablly at least 25 in each, that’s like 200 ppl. We can get 200 ppl right?

do we even HAVE 200 people?

…I think we have 5 so far

If someone makes this happen, I want in lol

I just want to at least see 100 Enigneers all equipped with Flamethrowers. Dont even have to be Traited or Geard for it. I want to see the fear of 100 flamethrowers charging a base.

Wouldn’t be it hilarious to see someone die due to 25 stacks of confusion because of static shots and prybars as soon he makes one move.

Every single engineer runs with pistol/shield, tool kit, bomb kit, and elixir s, and supply crate. Self Regulating Defenses is also a must.

Static shot while running in, half the engineer’s drop supply crates on the front lines while the other half gear blocks their way to the back line, they supply crate the back line while the first group follows up and they confusion bomb concentrated areas, followed by prybars to key targets. Let self-regulating defenses proc and try to collect some of the hundreds of bandaids laying around, use bombs and nails while mini’d, pop your elixir s as soon as you have to, use static discharge/prybar/confusion bomb as often as possible just because.

It would be beautiful.

We could have a biweekly rotation if we started a guild

Every two Weeks we change builds.

Week 1-all Tankcats

Week 3-all Static Discharge

Week 5- Grenade Kit

Week 7-Flamethrower Kit

Week 8- realize that Flamethrower Kit is hilarious as we all charge down a hill at a fort with only fire. stick with Flamethrower Kit for all of eternity, flippin off Anet, smokin weed everyday, burninating the country side.

WE DONT NEED NO STINKIN BUFFS

This is awesome. I would join this guild

I was gonna create one but I already have my own personal guild >.< Lets stop dreaming and someone in fa server create one!

I will transfer servers and actually stop playing sPvP long enough to level to 80 for this. THE SUPPLY CRATES, MY GOD, THINK OF ALL THE SUPPLY CRATES!!!!!

I’m willing to create a Fort Aspenwood Engineer guild, but I won’t be in game until later tonight, probably around 10pm PST.

What about “Engineering” for a name?

whatever the guild name is the tag for it should be “NERF”, I think that goes without saying.

Fort Aspenwood Corp of Engineers

Choops.3710:

LOL!

New Engineering Regiment of Fort Aspenwood [NERF]

Supply Hate, 2 Legit 2 Hip Shot, and Turrets Syndrome are my suggestions

I don’t think we should have a Server name in the guild, i think it would be pretty awesome if all of us server changed often, since it’s free

and find the worst server that’s being whooped right now, and help them win

JUST TO PROVE WE’RE AMAZING

and I think having Squadron sounds better then Regiment, just imo

We all obviously love this class, no matter how broken, to keep coming in here and posting new builds, strategies, jokes, etc, so I’ll be kind of sad if this doesn’t happen. I would make it myself, but I don’t want to run the kitten thing lol. I NEED this to happen, because the supply crate strategy outlined earlier is something that needs to be FRAPS’d and posted everywhere on these forums lol

Well unless someone takes action nothing is ever going to happen so I took matters into my own hands. Fort Engineer[NERF] on FA. Dont take the guild name or actionss seriously, itll just be like a second home, or when us engineers feel like playing around. if you want an invite just ask

Edit: btw i just wanted a guild named “Engineers” but that was already taken :/

invite me penguin, i wanna see how the guild takes off first before I abandon my current guild…sorry, my current guild requires representation on all characters, so if i’m committing to this, i wanna be sure it’s gonna be solid and get somewhere.

The way im seeing it planned is its just a second, not primary, guild that we can spend like a few times a week doing wvw with as a group. Youll probably still be representing your main guild as usual, except for those times we get together.

Since by now it would be hard for people to leave their established guilds.

Engineered For Greatness [efg]. And I’d be totally down to join haha

Walorx.5129:

Walrox you reached your max number of guilds :/

Invite me

/15chars

Revan.6259:

Invite me

/15chars

Its send

Granted if you pull this off, an entire EB full of engis would probably send everyone packing to LA if you all used Supply drop and all your turrets at the same time in the same spot…. Which gives me an Idea! Get at about 30 people to place rocket turret and rifle turret in the same spot. Any uninnocent passerby would be instantly vaporized :D

Gah, The turrets, the minefields, the rediculous amount of blind and confusion(seriously, 25 stacks of it deals bout 5k per skill use), the prybars! Im might have to transfer.
(Invite me)

my suggestion would be either “Cheers for Gears [CFG]” or “Give Engineers A Reason [GEAR]”

Send me a invite plz

That would be AWESOME!

Sign me in!

Or “Nerfed Company” :-)

JackWest.8974:

That would be AWESOME!

Sign me in!

You have reached the max number of guild memberships..or so the game tells me

Move to SoR and I’m in.
