Guild Wars 2

There has been nearly no dev activity in the necro forums since we lynched Jon Peters for making stupid comments shortly after the launch of the game. Don’t expect to see any red posts here.

On the other hand this has made the necro community one of the more friendly ones, and many people here are willing to help you out when you got a problem.

Kalan.9705:

6months of being patient and considered has got engineer far less dev effort than other far more polished classes. I’d love to be proved wrong with the coming patch, nevertheless A-net have to overcome their own track record from the previous patches.

Engineer is not the only class to suffer from this effect tho. Necros have the same problem, stuff like their class mechanic and minions not working properly since beta, same is true for quite some traits.

I think people confuse some abilities with others here, both Sharpshooter and the Precise Sights trait do not have an internal CD.

You can test that easily (just did that): take your engineer and outfit him with 2 pistols with +5% crit, rampager amulet, 6 runes of the thief and 30 pts in firearms. Now you should have around 80% crit chance. Start shooting heavy target golems with single Flame Jets and check the conditions after each blast. I was able to get up to 5 stacks of bleed and 8 stacks of vulnerability on a single golem with a single Flame Jet. Using the golem army in the back, I was able to get 11 stacks of bleed across 3 targets with a single blast. If there is a internal CD on those traits, it’s like 0.5s or something.

I bought some things from the gem shop, the gems were deducted but I did not recieve the items.

The point is not that we don’t have any viable builds, we have, the point is, that other classes can do the same things, only better.
