Guild Wars 2

This is for the balance team. Engis have had the worst downed abilities as well as the worst traits for some time now. He’s going over his build and he is describing traits that basically shouldn’t even be there because they make no sense and actually don’t matter in the end game.

do you think it hasnt been passed around already

And yet nothing meaningful changed…
Edit: OP, you want to change the link, it starts in the middle of the video.

anets turnaround time is about a year lol

You may get a look at during the (first two weeks leading to the) expac. May. Good Luck with that.

And yet power engi still does more dps than Dragonhunter, with easier rotation and the utility of Pinpoint Distribution. And that’s engi’s “bad” build.

He has some good points… but he also doesn’t really understand most of the stuff he talks about as much as he thinks he does.

The general ideas however are completely on point… but a lot of his specific suggestions are way off base… One of the main problems with Engineer balance is the simple fact that our kit auto attacks are VASTLY overpowered… our auto attacks HAVE TO be nerfed before any real balance can happen. A lot of the traits he talks about being underpowered are actually quite balanced and powerful, but they are only useless because of how strong our auto attacks are. Our damage needs to be distributed across our attacks, not front loaded into the auto attack. Balance kits to any other class weapons output, and buff our base weapons up to equivalent of kits and that will solve a LOT of problems.
