Guild Wars 2

Hi there, been a long time since ive posted on the forum. I returned and picked up the engineer as my main again because i just love having tons of toys to play with, i find the class the most entertaining to play with.

The biggest problem i got with the engineer is the lack of end game with the class in pve. For me the “big accomplishment” is to work toward a legendary. I know its a thing that have been discussed alot so i wont touch too much on that part but just letting know once again that its really sad. Quipp (ugly) , Flameseeker ( guardian ) or predator (hip shooting sniper) hmm… And we dont see them most of the time with kit builds. Not talking about frenzy since 95% (made up) of my time out there in PVE is on land, i rarely go in water so it would be a lost… and anyway i use grenade or toolkit.

Second thing is… there is no point in really hunting for ticket scraps as an engineer. I mean they get out Tons of greatsword skins or back items (and other weapons) every update, which i like but why isnt there something for the engineer? Why dont i get a jade looking backpack when i get a jade weapon? why dont i get a molten backpack when i get a molten pistol etc.

I just feel like we still have those ugly brown charr looking pack. Its fine when you start at lvl 1 and make your way up there but when you get cool armor later on, dying them in fancy colors, those brown charr backpack start to really look terribly off.

Why not make one engineer backpack instead of a different one for every kit? I mean, it would be easier to update with new weapons. Having the backpack changing with the weapon would make me get one of each to change with my clothing style… or at least make them dyeable so they dont stand out out? or just make them toggle on/off?

So yeah, many things i want from the black lion but i feel like its not worth it for the engineer.

Why isnt there a wardrobe system yet in a game that encourage finding armor/weapon look?

Why isnt the toolkit matching the ascended stat?

I really feel like the engineer is left behind in all these new skins being added. There is almost nothing i wanna aim for. No legendaries, No ascended weapons , No armor skin except the one im actually wearing…

Legendaries are definitely worth getting given that you can alter the stats of them at any given time. Their individual weapon strength may not count toward the damage of your kits, but the rest of the stats still matter.

Albeit, we’re surely the least affected by such equips. A condition build sees almost no change from legendaries or ascended weapons. A power one…well, only if it uses the rifle frequently, since the major upgrade is in the weapon strength, rather than the stats themselves. And kits aren’t affected much for the aesthetical part, anyway. Only grenades with predator and grenadier are, but i may be wrong about that.

I have all possible legendaries for engineer and they are all look pretty good. Predator is fantastic, Frenzy is bit buggy on back but that fish and bubble aura is great. The Flameseeker Prophecies is bit Guardianish but you look at it still from back and those lights and bluring aura shield looks awesome. Last for me was Quip. As first I dont want build it from start because that party look what dont fit with my charr but on the end I love it too. On my charr is pink aura very decent and face on pistol looks almost same like my mask:-) With shield in other hand it looks pretty cool.
