Guild Wars 2

Between the ability to stealth, several invulns, some of the best heals in the game and high block availability the Scrapper can just be far too tanky, while using blast gyros at the same time for damage output and CC. As much as Iove the engi this is a bit ridiculous, especially in PvP, where I’ve seen scrappers unkillable by three people focus firing.

Oh, plus the amount of teleports they have on top. It’s like fighting a shield warrior combined with the best parts of a shadowstep thief..
And their stealth covers all allies. They’re too good at too many things at once in sPvP

You are so right, those OP engineer teleports must stop immediately!

Teleport ? whaa ?
Did you mean leaps ?

Well either they’re hacking or something else weird is going on, since I’m seeing multiple scrappers that are basically doing shadowstep and return. And no it is NOT the hammer leaps.

Pretty sure it’s the drugs.
They taste great but kitten up your eyesight.

Guys ignore the teleports. Let’s talk about that crazy amount of sustain and why it needs to be nerfed.

“Engi is OP”, haven’t heared that in a while.

Do you realize that we have to manage n handle like 190+ skills in total ? Have you ever played an engi utilizing its skills,combos and traits + doing the actual gameplay ?
If someone MASTERS this, he should be rewarded. Playing engi is not a 3 button char like ranger or warrior, you actually have to know what you are doing.

“while using blast gyros at the same time for damage output” on a 30+ seconds cooldown which starts AFTER they explode, each having a base damage of below 300, if someone manages to get out all 5 gyros + send them into your direction to detonate while you stand there farting into the ground, you deserve to die

Please don’t feed the troll.

Several invuls? Can you list the multitude of those for us?

Some of the best heals in the game? Can you list those and explain how they are remotely "the best please?

3 bad players, on elite specs of their own that they are new to playing, unable to kill another does not make a profession Op

Teleport? They do not have any.

How long did you play the scrapper to develop these conclusions? I ask, because as of now, you really come across, at least to me anyway, as someone who knows little about the ES and is complaining after someone kicked your tail in a fight.

What really seems baffling to me, is that your post history strongly suggest you main a thief, and it appears you are a huge proponent of stealth spam builds from what I am reading of your post’s, yet your here crying about stealth?

I think this may be what the OP seeks:

Teleporting ? Invulnerable ? Only Elixier S , but this steal their option and is really short, what i think someone is just cheating around,because we can’t port around like thief ? Or maybe he was using his sneak gyro and you didnt paid attention to hit so he appeard and dissapeared.

And like someone else said , if you just stand there and farting around , then you die and if you complaining about this ? Please fight against a warrior with a lot of cc and greatsword.Sounds like Irenio made a class to counter CC warriors and you was one and complaining now here , because you died ?

If you really complain about that , then please complain on warrior forum aswell.They got it longer and now we got a option to be almost like that and peoples complaining about it now.

Give it some time and those builds will be able to counter anyways and 3 vs 1 and still alive ? They was staying inside those fields ?`Well then their fault.

Also Gyros are so preedictable and so easy to destroy.Maybe you need now for Pvp a range weapon AND a melee weapon.

I think the OP fought a Mesmer and got the two professions somehow confused.

People fall for troll bait way too easily these days.

Aren’t shadow leaps a revenant hammer skill?

lol maybe he’s mistaking Revenants for scrappers? Neither are OP. I REALLY am getting tired of all the “this is OP!” threads from people who lose a match to an elite spec. Learn about the specs you are playing against and practice fighting them before running around crying OP.

Can’t figure out a counter to a build the first time you’ve ever seen it?

OP! Must nerf!

This is when I point out I have an engi main and am honestly looking forward to scrapper when it comes live, and yes I DO play it PvP and am aware it is one of the hardest professions to master. Yes we’ve been middle of the road for a bloody long time, but that doesn’t mean throwing the hell out of balance.
No I wasn’t playing a CC warrior at the time.
Like I said, I’m not sure whats been going on but I have seen more than one scrapper actually teleporting, and YES I know what the leap looks like and NO IT WAS NOT A LEAP. I just figured it was a gyro function.
Yes it was 3v1 and they basically went through rotation of ElixirS, gyro stealth, gear shield and back to heals, and took barely any damage when they weren’t invulnerable, and their stealth gyro had far more survivability than I normally see and see described. Maybe I ran into someone cheating under the guise of beta classes. Wouldn’t understand why but shrugs.
