Guild Wars 2

The class designers must be pure idiots.
Its like they sat down and thought:

boss: “ok everyone. game will launch tomorrow.. but we still have room for 1 more class… anyone have ideas ?”

designer3 “but sir.. isnt 1 day a little short time to make a whole new class, balanced and competetive and atleast 90% bug free??”

boss: “SHUT UP NOOB. get lost… your fired”.

designer1 “I got it… lets make a class with all RNG. that whould be fun, you never know what will happen… lets call it… THE ENGINEER”.

boss: “sounds good”

designer4 “But, with almost everything RNG.. what happens if all RNG falls to their favor from time to time?”

boss: “Oh… ye i see where this is going.. we cant have that”.

boss: “Solutions ??”

Designer1 “YE, put dmg taxes on weapons. and kits… kits should not be compared with weapons. that whould make them too strong. but we can use white dmg stats for kits, and all elixirs should be totaly random on their buffs”.

boss: “Now THATS a good designer.. Gold star to you”.

designer2 "OH.. I always wanted a awesomness flamethrower.. “FFWOOSSSHH”.

boss: “LOL.. WTF.. you kidding right…”

designer2 "please. can we have it boss ? it will look cool.

boss: “Hmm, ye… sure, but remember we are serious developers here no more hot fuzz”
(writing: secretly add a bug to make it miss… ALOT… hehehe..
and it should do weak burning…
That should show him to try and make “cool” ideas)…

Well I think that might be a bit of an overreaction.

But yea there are some (huge?) flaws imho.

The weapon dmg tax, the kitten underpowered turrets and gadgets…

It’s all discouraging and downright annoying, but I’ll not give up my engi.

He’s so darn fun to play!

I haven’t had much trouble keeping up with other classes as an engineer.

It’s not as bad as people make it out to be, but the engineer is still one of the most problematic professions in this game.

If you saw the recent state of the game discussion. Ele being nerfed, Engineer’s being worked on.

So there is hope.

Hope.. is the fastest way to disapointment…
(but lets hope your right…)

Go play another class.

well If u want to be the top dpser in your party, then don’t play engineer (not saying that engineer can’t keep us with others)
When I play eng as grenadier, other than being good in AOE damage, I mainly look at the number of stack of vulnerability that I can put on boss … which is useful for all party

and as we are a versatile class, you can’t be very good in one thing, but at least we can be good in all

Last time when they “work on us” to improve us its end with 30% grenade nerf:-)

Actualy static discharge build in PvE is much better than 100b war imo

didn’t understand your 100b war ?
I am not a big user of static discharge trait, but may reconsider it.

Didn’t they also empower the other grenade skills? Only nerfing the #1 skill (which imho was way too powerful)
