Guild Wars 2

I was really looking forward to the Engineer class in Guild Wars 2. Even though i have a level 80 Asuran Engineer, i feel as if the class doesn’t have a real long-range aspect. My suggestion is that you add a Sniper kit(which is placable, and has 1200-1400 range) Or that you fix our rifle skills, so that we aren’t shot-gunners. I really hate shotgun game play and would like to have real long range rifle game play. Thanks, Zak Rifleman.

if your waiting for a sniper kit with 1.6k – 2k range

Wow someone here is gonna be disappointed…

But to save your time this probly aint gonna be implented at all

Well it doesnt have to be 1.6k-2k range, i would be fine with 1200-1400

If you want to play a sniper you’re better off going with a Rifle Warrior they have specs and abilities specifically for that type of play. They actually get a “snipe” skill and can get their ranged abilities all to 1500 range. If you play a Charr and use their “racial” skills which are engineer-ish(charzooka-elite-, artillery barrage-elite-, hidden pistol, and shrapnel mine in particular) you’ll probably find the kind of game play you’re looking for.

The engineer is a mid-range-to-close class and will probably stay that way.

wouldnt be so much sniper.. but 1,4k is to much for engineer i think Anet wants them to be mid ranged? if am not wrong

the only option to be far ranged is to switch to Grenade

ehh i kinda hate medium ranged shotgunner gameplay. I wish they would give us something that is long ranged :/ like a cross bow or bow with high tech gear bullets

Out of all the professions the Engineer is the least ranged of them all. Despite using nothing but firearms.

if they want us to be mid-close range remove the tool kit and give us some hand to hand combat weaps…..

Dude. No. I love my tool kit.

Ye why remove toolkit? Just add something new. Prypar + shield saves my classganon over and over again. But yeh we have no range after nades out and medium armor. Warrior riffleman is bit obvious though. If u pay any attention to battlefield u can see killshot and dodge it. On the otherhand they roll heavy armor with great auto and dps skill. Engi really needs more weapons or buffs to pistol/rifle.

rifle warr if you want something close to sniper.

This.

I would recommend you play a warrior.

It has a rifle, that performs as a rifle should.

And it does damage.

Engineer ranged capability is kinda like ANet’s QA team – non existent.

In all honesty they really should implement a sniper engineer kit. They need grenades to be more condition based and make sniper kit all power based. They I thought the whole point of the engineer was to be versatile, right now we can do everything, but are mediocre at all.

Hmm, seems to me the word “Engineer” is not synonymous with “sniper” or “long range”. In fact, most engineers in other games use short range weapons like hammers, wrenches, pistols, and shotguns.

All I’m saying is, if you created an Engineer with the expectation that he’d be a sniper, that’s on you. There was no logical reason to assume the class would have any long range specs, and to my knowledge, no official description of the class describes it as a long range combatant.

I’m happy with the rifle as it is (bugs notwithstanding.) This class is a medium range skirmisher, and the rifle fits with that design theme.

-Travail.

I would love the rifle to be revamped into a non-weakening short ranger as well. I’d like for our shots to do the same damage as the rifle for warriors (yes the base line damage is actually different go figure). and I would like for us to not be second best when it comes to damage with a greatsword that somehow outperforms every conventional 20th century weapon of war like bombs, grenades, pistols, mortars, rockets, and flamethrowers. That’s what I’d like to see. I also agree we need a better option, Rifles for me in the hand of an engineer should be ranged only, this maybe it’s a shotgun thing and maybe it’s not a shotgun thing drives me nuts too.

let engineers use spears on land. problem solved.

God As mush as I love rifle. Yes rifle doesn’t make any sense. I’M A SHOTGUN, BUT I’M NOT. But I do bad damage anyways, oh is that 100 blades/eviscerate you jump-shotted into? to bad. Rifled barrels, whats that. You figure a trait that should make us an effective long range damage dealer would do that but you know none of its skills but hipshot allows that. And even so hipshot is meh. Better yet why is a shot fired from the hip with piercing the only long range skill we have. Also why is warriors 1 skill(which description wise) is also a hipshot aimed. The technologically inept class isn’t? You figure the class that can use tools and has all these skills like scope mod and such would actually you know do damage but yet warrior the 1 trait wonder has that. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING ANET!
/rage
I had too.
