I just threw this thread out there cause I didn’t see anyone playing around with the idea that engy might become a viable frontliner in wvw with a hammer build.

What do you guys think?

Sure yes! Hammer is only thing frontliner needs

Ye I can’t w8 to try and switch my rifle(which btw is amazing for a frontline dps engi) with a hammer to see the difference, . But your build is not really giving anything usefull to the engi. Except for the bombs and the vigor trait. But it seemed like an unfinished build anyway

4 hammer train classes inc, finally some variety.

What can we do to help you with the engineer as a whole my friend? Because if you think the engineer isn’t very front line capable now, then you must not know much about the profession at all.

Engy is sub-par as a frontliner, it lacks stability (and toss elixir B is the worst stability skill in the game), it offers less support than an AH guard or shout warrior, damage is either too slow like bombs or too susceptible to retal against competent guilds/groups.

WHen they design a GvG game mode, I might care.

Why would I need stability of my own when I am commander? I have 2 guardians in group for that.

me too, but im just sayin

and if you have to call for stability, that leaves a 3 second window for you to get pulled. youre being watched like a hawk by the backliners.

Well stab will be getting changed (stackable like defiance) along with engy getting the hammer. Means Guardians will be less useful with aoe stab and you’ll likely be better off carrying your own stab/invul. I think if engy does go frontline, engaging will require Elixir S and the potnet elixir (20% incr duration) trait.
