Guild Wars 2

another youngin discovering the bugs of rifle,

unfortunately my son arenanet is busy doing other things like deleting amulets and removing build diversity to make sure that their skills that are not tied to an elite spec have proper hitboxes and functionality. maybe one day there will be hope, a light at the end of the tunnel

Zelulose.8695:

I really don’t agree with the change but they are doing something so I cant complain. Its better they try to balance then don’t balance at all.

the words “arenanet” and “trying” dont go together you cant look at what they did and tell me they are actively actually trying to fix the game with any serious effort. look at the track record they have had since the game has been released.

well u got ur wish fam. anet prob saw this went yeah seems good that requires 0 effort for us and poopoos on mesmer lets do that. congrats you are the newest addition to the balance team.

The balance team did not remove the amulet from PvP. That was the PvP team who did that.

im quite sorry captain goody two shoes. i guess i didnt make my point obvious enough. balance team, pvp doesnt matter both are certified products of incestuous breeding

DrMatt.9408:

‘As mentioned in the OP, there will be a few balance changes coming next week as well, but runes/sigils/amulets are one of the things the PvP team can change on our own without impacting the rest of the game. To be clear: the PvP team, just like fractals/raids/wvw/etc, does not handle profession balance – there is a separate team for that.’

Pretty sure deleting amulets and the builds that rely on them has a significant effect on profession balance.

anet casually doing the opposite by removing merc ammy lmao

well u got ur wish fam. anet prob saw this went yeah seems good that requires 0 effort for us and poopoos on mesmer lets do that. congrats you are the newest addition to the balance team.

displacedTitan.6897:

Its worse than that actually. You can name every single build each of those classes are playing and its the same on every team.

There is ZERO build diversity in pvp right now.

dont worry anet is removing ammulets further widening the build gap…

casual laziness

nah thats fine, casually kill a bunch of outlier builds cuz condi mes is running rampant and its the easy way out to fix it. I guess ive come to expect it at this point but it is quite sad.

the unblockable pet knockdown should be nerfed. it was confirmed by dev (grouch) to be fixed during the balance meeting with pro league players from what i understand. As for bristleback apparently no one acknowledged that so i doubt that it is actually fixed.

my favorite part of this post was the part when you considered elixir u mine and blast gyro the likely next meta utility. glad we have some outside the box thinkers

not any logical utils tho that would b too ez

Static discharge engi and other mostly non hot stuffz:

shameless plug (am bad have mercy)

instead of changing anything how about simply fixing the hitbox and the way the projectile itself works, and while your at it fix blunderbuss hitbox too

or just reduce the cast time on the toolbelt and make it viable for 1 shot/yolo builds at least it will get some use lool

lmao. heal turret was most definitely the 2nd most broken heal in the game forever. Though the change hurts it honestly had it coming anet isnt in the wrong with a balance change for once

lol. shield def worse. rifle is not nearly as bad as people think, simply no one devotes any time or effort trying to play something that is not brain dead zikavirus infested. In terms of buffing rifle most of the things that need changing are extremely minor and/or mostly related to other aspects of engineer, mostly core traits and utilities that would allow for more build diversity and the opportunity to run rifle. I.E. reverting nades/fixing nades, fixing static discharge in general etc etc etc. even after these changes rifle would still be pretty doodoo to the average BabyRage kiddo that tries it for 2 games and complains. Unfortunately not every weapon and spec in the game can be broken-op so that simpleminded kittens can play it.

tl;dr rifle is better than people think but will never be at a level of which kiddos will play it and not complain

all of this coming from someone who has played rifle engi pretty much the entire 2 something years ive played.

rifle engi. that is all

free cam is also stuck on even if you have it “disabled” ;_;

few quick ideas that might spark viability or at least give other options baseline comparibility to the current scrapper meta build.

#1: Revert Grenade range and (maybe) revert the speed of the throw to previous velocity and radius. This “nerf” of range was of no real validity considering it limited engineers range yet necros can still spam marks at a further range as well as many other classes. In trade off I feel that the engi community would be ok with the revert of the velocity of nades to counteract this “increase” in range of nades. This would still allow for range yet gives other players counterablity at range because of the reduced velocity of the projectiles coming forth towards them.

#2: Make Grenadier a baseline trait: This would open other options in terms of trait lines and would prevent people taking nades from being tied to taking explosives just because of Nades. This would allow builds using nades to take another trait line, thus making condi engi and hybrid mercenaries builds more viable and able to take another defensive trait line instead of having to take explosives.

#3: Fix Magnet (PLEASE): Allow the skill to function as it is actually intended by pulling people from the max range inward without having them desync or go half the distance. This change would give quality of life to builds that arent using the same cut and dry elixir/gyro meta.

#4: Remove the Stability on dodge from perfectly weighted: I just threw this in here because I hate hammer builds and this trait in general. A removal of this part of the trait would make a hammer scrapper slightly more susceptible to being chain cc’d while not completely gutting their counters to it.

1. Remove cast time from toss elixir B: Brings the skill in line with other utilities and abilities that grant stability. This is a nice little quality of life change that would give elixir b a bit more viability versus other 3rd utility choices. With this change I would also suggest removing cast times from stun breaks on engineer and on other classes including the DragonHunter F3 and on bypass coating the toolbelt skill for blast gyro.

Overall these are changes I feel would allow for a more balanced selection of builds on engineer and would help combat the one build meta mindset of the current state of the game. These changes might be a bit biased as I have been an engi main since i began playing and I still play rifle engi whilst clinging to the hope that nades someday will be ok again but I honestly tried to make changes that would be balanced and not harm the upside of the game.

rip cele engi ;_;

because the mongoloids that would watch it wouldnt understand a kitten thing that was going on

if my tests came back the same as good connection but i still have lag, what does this mean for me?

this is sad… only thing preventing my world completion, im a only pvp player, and me actually taking the time to do this boring crap is taking longer because of this bug! pls fix m8s

i honestly had no idea until ppl started telling me i was hacking, i was streaming at the time and i for sure was not hacking, this is a game bug!

12 skyhams in a row into the next day having 4 in row and the next have half my pops be skyham… its enough to contemplate ending system 32… Spirit watch is fine, but grouch has used his decap engi ways to curse me with skyham. I now sometimes have to resort to 10 min solo team qs and get put with 3 bunkys and a decap engi (or whats left of it). why anet yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ;; QQ

AC p1:
On the spider stack as the spider hatchlings get just before the corner I have hit for 4-5k on a Soldiers/Clerics support heal build. I dont even hit with autos at 80 for that much. The best part is that I had no stacks of might or anyother dps boosts. I have only had this happen to me in the spider corner in p1. It also has happened with different weapons, for example in these screenshots of the combat log I used the hammer and the mace.

“…and i was playing in a dark room.”
tell us more please

i didnt have the lights on, Einstein. dont hate because your class got pawned by an underpowered spec.

I don’t think you understand that barely beating a newbie engineer player doesn’t count as valid evidence that engineers are bad. In fact, you were at 2k health at the end of the fight and your pet was dead.

what build do you think i was using? if i was playing a braindead spirit ranger like you i wouldnt even think of getting that duel captured.

The sad thing is you said you played spirit ranger…
