Guild Wars 2

Somebody of anet reveal a little idea of pvp in future.That include buff warrior’s hammer and mace‘s cc,nerf SD thief…..When talk about rifle engineer,he acknowledged that most of engineers use PP or PS build. Rifle engineers is not enough wonderful.And then he have finished. (Probably means,His words were translated twice. lol)
I think rifle engineer don’t have change in the near future.

In WvW you can oneshot people with rifle…

As soon as anybody asks a question related to the Engineer in an interview, either the dev doesn’t know what to say or he’ll start talking about another class.. Kinda sad to watch, which is why I don’t bother watching what the devs have to say anymore. I recommend you do the same. We haven’t had anything significantly important happen to us since sigils would proc on kits, which is something we should have had before launch. Turrets still suck in PvE, gadgets are situational at best, when they change traits they completely ruin them (kit refinement). The devs are clearly disconnected from their own game since PvP is the only thing that seems to matter to them atm (and the living story garbunkle), as long as we’re ok in PvP they could care less how we are in PvE. With every patch since release, I’ve had to spend time that should have already been spent making sure each trait is still functioning. When we bring up an issue with our class (IE Every turret trait not functioning) they will acknowledge it but it will take quite some time for it to be fixed. Yet they can continue to waste time buffing already over powered classes, or hotfix other classes’ bugs, leaving us high and dry. Every patch this far has been “exciting” to the devs yet as somebody who plays the Engineer I have yet too see anything exciting. All I see is incompetence caused by a lack of vision and direction for our class, as well as a source of unneeded stress. I could offer suggestions on how they could fix this, but many others, including myself, have already done this since release; and most of those have been ignored.

end rant

TL:DR
Welcome to the world of the Engineer.

It’s not a matter of one shotting people with a rifle, which btw means you’re in full beserker, which btw means you’ll probably be one shotted as well.

If the Dev is saying that most people use pp or ps, shouldn’t they do something to help the rifle? This would imply that there is something wrong with the rifle that would make people not want to use it.

One shot people with rifle? Somehow I doubt this.

The reason rifle sucks in sPvP is that there are no decent power stats in sPvP besides berserker which are terrible for engineer.

Knights and Soldiers both have vitality which is a total waste of points, as all it does is devalue your healing.

Knights in PvE is a brilliant stat however, giving toughness instead of vitality the combo becomes viable.
