Guild Wars 2

Just going to go ahead and leave this here. I know that everybody is abuzz with all the hubbub from the SotG, but it’s okay to have a little fun sometimes. I’m not trying to show off a new build, or trying to show that Engineers are amazing in WvW or anything. Just a video of me playing my Engineer on an average day in WvW.

Enjoy!

Pretty good. To bad the build your using is getting the nerf bat.

If this is true… WHAT THE ACTUAL F@&K? Stop nerfing the weakest class for gods sake arena net..

I was curious so I watched most of the video. I wouldn’t expect any of the utilities used to be nerfed this patch, except for prybar which will do half confusion damage in WvW. Of course, anything could be nerfed in the future.

Put up your healing turret. That should fix whatever you lose in this nerf. Well, at least that one intelligent John Sharp guy seems to believe this.

I watched the SotG. They mentioned nothing for nerfs on Toolkit, Utility Goggles, Static Discharge, Net Shot, or Supply Crate.

People are definitely overreacting before patch notes are even out.

Confusion is getting a 50% reduction in wvw, so that hits some mesmer and engineer builds the hardest. Toolkit prybar.

well they did say grenades were a bit too strong and that usually means incoming nerf at this point

But not this point. The only thing getting nerfed for Engineers is HGH builds, and a buff to Turret builds.

why should we sacrifice HGH so the healing turret actaully Heals over time? devs dont want to buff turret’s armor nor hp so they ll always be paper turrets whereas ranger pets gets even more buffed cuz doing 8k damage and stuns immobilizes knockdowns is in no way superior to turrets huh

I agree about turrets not having enough defense/HP to take many hits. However, they don’t need to be nearly on par as Ranger pets do. As it is now, Ranger pets are horrible. If you played on a Ranger, you’d know how bad they are. They die on just about every boss in every dungeon. There’s a reason Ranger is the absolute most hated class for dungeon runs. I’m glad their pets are getting some work, it’s their class mechanic for crying out loud.

I do agree, however, that turrets (among a lot of other Engineer ideas) need heaps of help.

This is a glass cannon build. Every class can create videos like this. The video is nice but if you want to nerf something based on this video then please watch the Necro, mesmer, ele or thief videos where they kill up to 10 people in a row. or win 1 vs 4 or something like this. WvW videos should not be a reason for a nerf.

I played some matches against engineers with this build. This build is weak in spvp because the lack of condition removal makes it weak. If you get focused you are dead in seconds and all teams fokus the engineer first or as second.

The weakest class is the Ranger by far.

why should be the ranger the weakest class?

OK, you completely butchered that sentence. I’m really hoping english isn’t your first language. /grammarkitten

On topic, ranger shouldn’t be the weakest but because of the pet’s lack of survivability a ranger’s damage is cut in half.

English places its verbs awkwardly. It’s very difficult for ESL speakers to catch, since most other languages make more sense.

Hopefully the PvE/WvW/PvP splits can start to address issues like this, since rangers certainly aren’t weak in PvP.

Yes, but PvP is a very different game from PvE and WvW. There aren’t AoEs flying everywhere like in WvW, and there aren’t one-shot attacks killing your pets all the time like PvE. Also, winning in PvP is a matter of holding capture points. Definitely more in the Ranger’s ballpark of doable.

I hope that Rangers get some real help in this patch, though.

That’s why I said the splits should help that. I’ve never really done dungeons, so pets getting 1-shot by bosses isn’t something I usually consider when thinking about balance.

Oh, I know. But I really think it’ll take more than just a few number splits to help Ranger pets in WvW and PvE. The update with pets trying to attack mobs from behind sounds like a good step towards what’s really needed, so hopefully we can see more things like that for Rangers.
