Guild Wars 2

To my current understanding, The Dmg that our kits do is scale to Exotic lvl right? Wouldn’t it be fair to scale it higher “IF” an ascended weapon or a legendary is equipped?

Every other class have their cute little claim about what they can do best. That is just fine with me. I have so much fun with Katerina Chiara (my elegantly named Engi).
I can support the WvW zerg with my fire-water fields, CC, and long range condition spamming. Roaming is fun too for ruins and camp capturing.
I can pull my own weight just fine in dungeons using many different types of play styles (player-skill needed :P).

I believe this class has SO MUCH adaptability even with the plague of a few bugs and weak areas that the Engi will surely be improved in-time (FASTER if someone can bribe the Devs to tweak the turrets, support kits, and scale weapon dmg to all kits).

-Duel-wielding pistols is awesome. Make blow torch a knock-down move! :P
-Maybe adding additional condition duration per applied condition to modified ammo to make it a REAL GM trait?

Lets keep throwing those ideas in fellow Engis!

Definitely, if we have an ascended weapon in our hands then kits should scale to ascended damage too.

Oh god no, Blowtorch is already incredibly strong with it’s 6 seconds of burn on a low cooldown. Glue shot is the one that needs tweaking here, not sure how, probably speed of firing/projectile.

Might work. Isn’t it kind of self-defeating though? I mean if you chuck 6 condis on someone, most of the condis applied earlier are going to not have much of an increase at all, meaning the bread and butter of your damage doesn’t get much of a boost. Condis are about coverage and intensity for the most part anyway.

Also you want to be careful with buffing things related to condi engineer. It’s already VERY strong. Opening up alternate builds is good and you’re probably safe messing around in firearms GMs (considering it locks you out of Grenadier) but any improvements to stuff in explosives or straight weapon skills and we’re going to have one hell of a godlike class.

Have you seen the damage bomb autoattack does on power/crit damage build?

The engineer players deserve a god-like class. The Engineer players deserve it.
