Guild Wars 2

I like engineer. I am normally a thief. i find that engineer is the only other class that does well only if u play him well. i played warrior once in spvp my first try ever and nailed it. warrior is OP and a joke so im doing engi instead.

do i want rampagers gear first? or zerk?> or what?

i am interesting in WVW and SPVP/TPVP

Lol thief is so much easier to play than most other classes excluding war and guard.

I use a mix of rabid and carrion armor most of the time.

other fun high skill cap classes for wvw are ranger (not as underpowered in roaming as most people think), mesmer (don’t go condi pu its not so fun), and ele.

It largely depends on what you plan on running build wise. If you think you are going to spend the majority of your days playing with grenades, then it is usually worth investing in a condition oriented setup; some people like rampagers others rabid etc. If you are unsure of what you will be playing or feel more comfortable with the game in general, then I would usually suggest Berserk. In either situation you will find that engineer has a lot of access to conditions (both passive and active) coupled with well rounded damage coefficients, thus it is equally viable to run either type of setup. You will find that PVP rolls are much different from PVE and as such it is often more efficient to lean towards a bunker setup to counter the excessive amount of burst builds currently in use. In essence, it is best to try them all and see what fits your play style the best.

def not true.

ranger is all about build…. only hard part is timing pet attacks with yours.
mesmer is 75% dmg from AI
Necro is about the right buildand skill rotation as most are self guiding or AOE

thief is hard to play well. if ur not good at thief you look like a fish out of water flopping around and getting nothing done.

engineer takes alot of skill to which is why im going to use it as my new 2ndary.

so it seems like zerk and carrion/rampagers is the most common sets to use.

im gonna make 2 ascended sets…. trying to figure outwhich ill use most.

Depends on what type of engineer you want to play.

I use dire armor with rabid trinkets. Scavenging runes because I’m cheap. Runes of perplexity are arguably the best, even if they are a bit OP.

In sPvP, runes of nightmare with rabid accessory and jewel. Teldo uses a settler’s jewel, so I might try that out.

Zerker is mostly for static discharge engineers. If you want to zerg, I like soldier’s armor with zerker trinkets for backlining with grenades (tonnes of bags). Lots of engineer commanders zerg with clerics or celestial, but I’m no where near commander-level, so I’ll stick with the eles in the back.
