Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been tinkering around in PVP and its hard to tell what the new meta will be with everyone running around instagibbing each other. Burn damage is out of control and likely to be nerfed, but with all the utility Engi’s have at their Disposal its hard not to see them being a part of the future PVP meta imo.

Unfortunately I am not lvl 80 yet so I cannot test anything in the PVE world, can anyone shed some light on how Engi PVE is looking? Will we be pushed out of the meta or is there a spot for us there now…I know engi has never been “bad” at PVE, but the reward for the crazy rotation that was required didn’t seem to justify not just bringing in a thief for example.

I’m new to the engineer class and to GW2 as a whole, so any insight would be great!

Thx

pve is really easy, and engi is in a solid spot. you should be fine.

good to know, thx for the reply!

Any advice for leveling an engi on the note of them being good now in pve?

I tome leveled my engi from pvp tomes but imagine that a set up involving tools, explosions, firearms would work. I’d go for tools first to get streamlined kits for permanent swiftness, and then I’d probably go into explosives to get grenadier and the seeker rocket trait. Try to focus on hybrid damage gear if you can, that includes power precisions, condition damage. And yeah, basically grenades will be your main damage source.

Everyone seems to tome level things, I guess I should go to some pvp :P
