Guild Wars 2

I spent 6 months gearing myself into a power-based melee class because that’s what you turned Engineers into, and now I’m useless in WvW. I have to be hitting someone to damage them and I can no longer do that without dying.

How the kitten do you justify that with classes like Rangers out there that do massive damage from a distance, on top of stealth, on top of pets, on top of out of control healing, on top of traps, on top of everything else?

What the kitten am I supposed to do with my engineer now?

I’m pretty sure rangers arn’t really known for big traps and massive damage these days, that more of dragon hunters.

That’s how guardians feel when they try to stay in melee…

Scappers have these things called “kits”. They can equip them to get new weapon loadouts that handle specific situations.

Some situations, like facing a zerg, require the use of ranged kits.

Also, anyone who complains about Rangers (especially traps and pets) should probably consider that old adage about open one’s mouth to remove all doubt…

I do not play www but I main scrapper and I have just replaced a few skills from my skillbar and now I am very viable both with my power PvE build and my power pvp build.

Amen, I basically said kitten WvW on my guardian which is a class I’ve mained for over 3 years. Get on my necro, have 2 health bars, more health, and can do massive damage from the mid-line. Guardian just get face stomped in all situations.

Post your build please.

If you think other classes are so amazing… Go. Play. Them.

First, because nothing we tell you about how grossly provincial your comparisons are will convince you as thoroughly as your own first hand experience. ((Rangers are awesome? That’s just funny.))

Second, because the fastest way to get a profession nerfed isn’t to throw a tantrum on the boards, its’ to be part of a flood of players rushing to the flavor of the month.

You’re obviously joking right? Rangers have an insanely tough time staying in competitive pvp. The only reason they saw play recently was because of SnR, but that was basically nerfed to Rin and back (see what I did there?) in the latest update. Rangers having ranged damage, who would have thought? Engineers are top meta right now in competitive pvp with massive bunking ability, multiple stuns, tons of projectile denial, stealth and more.

TL;DR
Don’t expect a single class to dominate multiple game modes.

Yup.. this.

Well your main problem was to believe scrapper was supposed to be a melee train profession.
Seriously, 6 months with the denial and now you complain to anet?

Ignorance is bliss. Go play a thief.

P/p condi scrapper. Rabid stats, runes of undead. Blow torch. Rocket boots, EG, bulwark gyro, sneak gyro or elixir x. Scrapper is kitten viable in wvw. Just not with a hammer.

I solo towers with this and often win 1v2 while roaming.

this sentence is ridiculous.

Scrapper kicks kitten in the frontline. You’re just bad.
