Guild Wars 2

Anyone know if elixir bombs that heal allies count against the AOE cap? At times I will see a bomb i drop on top a downed person and get no damage numbers but see some heals.

I am not claiming that golem. I was able to put it to good use as a teaching tool however. “Now class, here is a perfect example of how not to use golems”

Honest question – has SBI taken a bit of a break this week?

I wouldn’t say “break” but they are being very weird this week. Maybe training? I don’t know. They are not completely taking a break, because I have had some great fights with them this week on CDBL. For example last night we had a SBI zerg of about 50 take our hills keep. Then a bit later another commander brought a much smaller zerg and we fought for about 2 hours+ at the se tower. It most likely went longer but I had to log for the night. Sunday they had a zerg at bay for a few hours, that fight was very strange because they so could have had bay like 3 or 4 times but they kept backing off. So, I wouldn’t say break because they are around, just not sure what they are up to.

That was me with the 2nd group. Trying to get my guild more involved in WvW and we had a great time battling you all. Thanks for the good fights.

It is amazing how many of your opponents still attack with 7 stacks of confusion on them.. As a fellow eng I pray they never figure out what is causing that dmg.

It would be safe to assume they don’t give us weapon swapping because of the access to kits. It is obvious ANET designed the class to use one or two kits at a time. Without the kits yes, you will be underpowered compared to other classes which is simply a mechanic of the game. Complaining about that aspect is essentially the same as getting gear with +healing then saying your dps isn’t high enough. Just because some styles don’t maximize the potential of the class doesn’t mean a fix is needed.

In order for classes to be “balanced” the designers have to look at the best possible build(s) depending on dps, survivablity, healing, in a class and work down from there. If you didn’t balance classes based on the best build then someone would find it and you would have a FOTM build because it is simply better then anything else.

For engineers it is apparent they view the best build as one that incorporates the kit(s) and toolbelt so if you are not playing a build that utilizes them you only have yourself to blame.
