Guild Wars 2

Originally, I was going to host my update to Sheriff Sauer’s Engineer Handbook on this thread, but I couldn’t fit what I needed to say in the 5k characters/post.

Could you split it up into separate posts?

Theoretically, yes. Practically, no. The max character count in a post in 5000, and the average length of a section as I’ve typed it is ~17k. As it was, I needed 10 posts.

I have messaged Sauer using his forum handle, asking his permission to continue his work.

If/When I hear from Sauer, I will officially begin working to update it.

Also, it would be worthwile to think about retiring the build-section and just linking to metabattle. The mechanics-section (and everything about the class in general) is super useful, especially for new engineer-players, but the builds tend to outdate quite fast.

Metabattle is good, but it doesn’t have very specific engineer roaming tips. In fact, there’s only one WvW build for engineer, and it’s a zerging build. The Handbook was originally written to give engineers a guide for roaming. In fact, I still have, and sometimes play, my static discharge build which got me into WvW roaming in the first place.
