Nothing is “important” in WvW, unless you for some reasons like points in a game that dosn’t matter aynthing! It’s a game, what’s important is to have fun
But if you wanna do with the “What really matters”, first off, small scale havoc squads where we rock in, are really improtant to destroy Supply Camps, Killing Dolyaks and preventing reinforements from getting back into the fight in prolonged Siege fight, The idea about tower fights being the only thing important is a silly illusion, because most of the time that’s more a matter about enough tanky bodies and give AoE Retalition then anything else, or to put pressure on the walls, two things the Engineer actually is quite good at

I can easy uplaoaded videos of that, but how fun is it to just watch a screen filled with pixels everywhere? They ain’t very viewer friendly, and also eats your CPU to frap it, that’s why you don’t see many videos of that in general tbh

I think the main problem with zerg www for engineer is that nobody yet tried to gather a group of 15-20 proper mix of grenadiers and bombers instead of warrior train. Playing a class for half a year i still can’t see how that damage+control could be mitigated.

NERF maybe has tried something like this, but to be honest we don’t demand that people run with certain builds. The Supply Crate drop matches a warrior’s F1 hammer skill with the 2 seconds of stun…

Slightly different cooldown on the two though!

Yes, “slightly”. Teehee. Has to be chained and the build requires skills with followup.

Stun if good, of course, but you would have moving aoe confusion, fire, launch, retalation, chill, constant smoke field.. the one and only problem i see is aoe target limit, so people would have to be very organized with their field.
Though, GW1 team builds needed much more coordination.

Remember that greandes count as triple aoe – so up 15 targets are possible.
