Guild Wars 2

You need to be at range, target the downed player (downed, not dead!) and press your interact key (default F).

Is a bit outdated but explains blast finishing and healing turret really well

you can for example take protection injection or go for energized armor in inventions for more dmg (because toughness is a high stat for you) which also gives you a neat minor trait that recharges your healing turret. Since you also use rifle you can go into firearms for hair triggerr or rifle mod. Dropping HGH and speedy kits can give you 4 points to play with.

And don’t get me wrong, HGH and speedy kits are very good, but in a decent group other classes will take that role on them.

I also noticed you find healing turret too static. In zerg situations you don’t let it stay, you immediately overcharge it and then blow it up with F1. Learning how to use your combo fields and finishers is very important for engis!

Some tips from personal experience:

If you run a coordinated group you should get stability and some cleanses from party members. But personally I still take elixir B to save myself if needed. Knights armor is good but for trinkets I chose to go more damage. Don’t drop your bombs in the middle of the enemy group btw, try to edge around them, you’ll still hit 5 ppl if you take increased radius as a trait.

Even if you go with condi cleanse elixirs, the healing turret is still way better than elixir h, as it provides a water field for your zerg that they can blast if needed.

Speedy kits can be dropped, use elixir b and medkit 5 for swiftness if your zerg group doesn’t give you any. switch back to turret before fights!
rifle also provides a leap, which helps me alot during fights to just leap in next to an enemy group and start laying those bombs.

If you still have problems with condis then you might want to switch to elixir c.
HGH seems good but in zergs there are other classes that can give might better. or try sigil of strenght.

A heal that gives 2 waterfields, regen, its own blast finisher and has only a 15s/20s cooldown is subpar? The fact that you have to press more buttons for it is just because it is far more versatile than any other heal i’ve seen up till now.
At the very least it’s one of the more fun to use skills in tihs game.

I think a lot of ppl will be thinking the same, but UW bl wasn’t fun this evening.
And I don’t even think it was the fault of the few players who did try to defend something.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll find some nicer fights :’(

classic anet, closing wvw when UW is green.

I’ve notice both BB and DL know how to blob. Maybe UW too, but atleast not when I’m playing.

And about hacking, pls tell us their guilds, or whatever you know about them.
And don’t just attack on sight if someone glitches in, atleast allow him to try walking outside again.

yh I wish I could exchange it, think at most I can get 4 lvls out of it. Just a few normal lvl up scrolls would have been better.

I’m surprised that hills lasted so long. Usually we don’t own stuff on other bl that long.

lots of weird lag today, I could see commanders warping all over the borderland like pro hackers. Don’t worry though, after the patch tomorrow, all maps will be really empty anyway.

I feel like I’m being ‘attacked’ here for not using the word zerg in the way you want me to? It’s not even relevant anymore since Parthis edited his earlier post.

Always ask numbers in /t and /m, and even then don’t I wouln’t believe it. If i believed them all, Gandara had 120 ppl on our border last night.

I see a zerg as a group of ppl following a commander, so yh, 15 ppl is a zerg. I zerged with 5, if that was all I could get. And never did I say I should be entitled to Bay, I still prefer 3 small zergs over servers that just stack every player on a map together to get the 60 ppl lagfest. Atleast now I got some kills from the fist zerg.

Oh and I didn’t run, I just died.

AA didn’t really field much today, so it was small AA + pugs. Did TDA run with 25+ today? I think you managed to make crosswords, or maybe it was some of the other zergs running around.

I have to say, got a bit annoyed today when I tried to take a somehow reinforced bay, beat up the first guild zerg that comes out, but then another one comes from the left and a third one comes from the right. Even if you’re all running around with 15, that’s still 45 ppl we have to kill :s.

I’ve only seen Yak tonight, I guess that was your biggest guild then?
Didn’t manage to wipe them tonight, but we’ll try it some other day, don’t worry

Don’t leave, or all the blobs will be on our heads . Also: wow, golems from day one, to get a wooden gate down? This is gonna be a fun week!

Stop breaking through walls and making a mess and we can have a dance party again.
I’m honestly surprised we didn’t lose a waypoint tonight, with both FR and GH walking everywhere on the map.

VmPr.6289:

…

I downed, defeated, and /sat on the entirety of AA last night.
…

That’s one kitten big kitten you have to sit on 27 ppl at once.

I think lion got really mad we spawnkilled them yesterday? I admit we had a lot of pugs then, but we had to take care of about 3 GH guilds and the french blob at that time.
And I don’t see any of those other guilds complaining like you do.

RcKelly.9263:

[AA] running 30 and a commander tag with 40 pugs and just got totally wiped buy 20 [Lion] in Blue Briar, Love to see the video of this…..So Pro. Good Fight.

a zerg of 30 ÄÄ, my god I’d love to run with that many.
It’s nice to dream, but please keep reality and dreams seperated next time, ok?

As we’ve noticed in our last matchup, kite-wearing players are a danger to society and have to be removed immediately. Even more so when you happen to look tasty.

Sorry guys, today is PvE day for most of us, we’ll probably be back (half our numbers) tomorrow!

I honestly can’t believe Anet let the points tick during maintenance, that’s some well timed morning capping there.

Does anything interesting actually happens during those morning caps? Some from GH seems to love waking up early and taking stuff, but do any good fights happen then, because I might think of waking up early too then.

There is sort of a challenge to upgrading keeps in other bl, i feel. It requires control of supply camps and enemy-free dolly routes. I haven’t been on BT bl much though. Mostly on FR with a smaller group till they get their big numbers out. I’ve found it a fun matchup up till now.

I’m sure somewhere, sometime 2 french blobs willl collide and only one will remain.
It’s not like FR has a green border.

That was already the second (or maybe third?) time they attacked garrison. The first time was right after reset. As the stream shows, they went straight for garri watergate, built 2-3 golems and bashed through the gates. I was that one guy inside inner you lobbed a fireball at btw.

I was really surprised to see AR there, as I entered our borderlands as fast as I could, ran straight to garrison and when I got to inner our gate was at 10%?

Why are we even talking about what happened so many days back? Did nothing interesting happen after that?

Just had a great fight with an AR thief, while I was trying to kill his dollies. It got close for both of us at some point, too bad his friends joined to break up the epic fight.

I’m already satisfied that i could last that long gainst a thief. AR are also just players. If they don’t group up with 30+, theyr’e perfectly killable.

UW garrison got golem-rushed before most of our ppl could join the borderland. No siege was built by then. Hell, just me and 5 others were there to watch the inner gate break down.

Maybe its obvious already, but healing turret can be overcharged right after placing it and immediately restored for 2 heals + water blast. shield and elixir gun give another 2 blasts, so you canblast the turret water field 3 times with some practice.

@Karlus: When I joined, BT Borderlands had a queue and RoF had 3 commanders.
If it gives any comfort, all I did was flip a red briar green on your borderlands.

apparently there are no one-time events this time. all instances can be repeated when Tixx arrives in LA, so you can still get the achievements
