and basically spend 99% of the time with the flamethrower out with it

dude, so that 1% is for what? you will be dead in to time like that. you are running a spvp build here.

bye bye Engie. – now they are trying to make us healers or some kitten.

Kabuki.9103:

Step 1: Find the strongest aspects of Engineer
Step 2: Create a build utilizing Step 1
Step 3: Share this build online
Step 4: Anet nerfs the strongest aspects of the Engineer

So if you remove Step 3, this will eliminate Step 4?

Since Step 4 happens after Step 3, Step 4 happens BECAUSE of Step 3?

Yes. if you stop sharing that OMG I ONE SHOT PEOPLE build then ANET will not care because the rest of the classes will not be crying and pointing to obvious threads containing such OP builds. Even the guy who started the HGH build says is OP. go figure. I think it is too but you surely will not kill me with it.

He does have a bit of a point. Since release, engineer has been the only class to get a ton of nerfs despite being the less played and often less complained. I see new threads everyday or complains everday about mesmers, guardians, or thieves and they go untouched since release.

This is such BS.

The only kit that’s gotten nerfed is the Grenade Kit, which is still really effing good, and Kit Refinement has been reworked.

Overall though, we’ve been nothing but improved since release.

The Flamethrower has been buffed. The Tool Kit has been buffed. The Elixir Gun has been buffed. Gadgets have been buffed. Turrets have been buffed.

This here my friend, is an example of a noob engie who does not what the f—k he is talking about. go back to your cave troll.

sharing is caring!

sharing is Carrying -

some guys have mentioned it. If you have played this class since release, then uou will have noticed how every op build gets shafted drastically. Im not talking about, " lets decrease a few numbers here and there and let the other class adjust to this particular engie ". No!!! , " lets just remove it from the game."* type of changeses.

Like i said, i never directly used any of the op builds but i had a few connections to them through traits. In addition, since they remove or change the mechanism of that trait, then i just replace it with someone else to make my style of play fun and enjoyable and not get rolled by anyone.

we have endless combinations in my book. you kitties coming here to simply copy X op build and abuse the kitten out of it is the problem.

Look, I enjoy my class. I cannot get into another class. You guys finding your most op build crap is what’s wrong with the game. Be like me and find a nice build that works for you and keep your mouth shut about it. Enjoy it. Cause,

What do you get? Internet points by sharing ? Fame? What!?. This class gets stripped left and right because of some Spvp builds that are intended to one shot people or overly be stronger than others. You know this is not the class for that. Just stop finding the niche builds and stop sharing them! Honestly, you are not supposed to kill people in one rotation, nor are you supposed to run around super mighty overall defensive and dpsing.

Btw. Never used 100nades or the HGH crap. F mainstream op builds. Make your own and stick to it. Love it and embrace it. Make it work for you. I love rolling on all you kitties copying build online and don’t even know the class to make them viable. I have 5 sets of gear for 5 different builds for whenever the hell I feel like playing. But please. Just stop sharing your omg op builds. Keep to yourself

because all you do is run?

this is why i love this class. Because even though we have 1 build that is good, it really take SKILLS for you to pull it off. Is not about spamming one thing, it is all situational and different at every encounter. I have seen noobs engies with this build die like the roaches they are because they cant pull it off.

you just cant spam 1 and 2 and win. takes a lot more than that.

also,

dont go to wvw thinking you can own anybody. I have a tanky build engi and i see all these noobs engies with this build. I just eat them for lunch. too easy.

Warzogra – anything that describes battle and war in a charr’s name is good in my book.

Mine is -
Name: Fire Fighter
class: Engineer. -
yes i run around with my flame thrower. Not fighting fires, but actually killing with fire. Too bad you cant see names in wvw.

rl ff too.

Hey buddy,
this class is viable and is very fun. The only thing is that it has a high learning curve. Unlike all the classes, you do not have a one hit wonder build. You are so low now that it does not even matter what build you have. You have 2-4 trait points. Read all all the trait lines and combine it with your weapon of choice. If it is bombs. Then go with explosives right away.
You should play it. Learn it. test it and see what YOU like. Don’t end up like some lvl 80 engies who never read and put together builds on their own.

Naught.2316:

This topic has some valid points, but I don’t buy the argument that the hit to KR’s Elixir Gun ability means that supportive play is taking a hit, not for a second.

Why don’t you take a gander outside of KR for a moment, and see that Super Elixir got a tremendous buff?

“Increased both impact base healing and scaling with healing power by 100%.”
“Increased base heal multiplier by 50% and healing power scaling by 100%.”

And why? Well, how do you tend to play a healing support Engineer? Since Super Elixir heals in a pulse, rather than giving a regen buff, don’t you tend to drop two Super Elixirs on top of each other for massive group heals? I think ANet looked at this and decided to allow us to have KR no longer be a “requirement” for support healing builds.

And if you used the two Super Elixirs separately for slightly more consistent healing pulses, you still have plenty of healing and regen options with bombs (they fixed the Forceful Explosives bug too) and such, and your single, 16-second (an impressive cooldown for an AoE healing ability that’s been buffed this much) Super Elixir is just way more powerful now.

EDIT: Forgot to note that the 16-second Super Elixir CD is with Fireforged Trigger, so if you want to run support, you hate KR and you don’t have Fireforged Trigger, put your points in that for sure.

exactly this. i wish this will end the almighty super elixer threads

@cube If you will notice I asked exclusively for pve I just want to be as efficient as I can I don’t think that is crying

is the same. the only thing you are now missing is one barrage. one barrage dude?
is like now your game will die and that boss will kill you because you simply could not barrage one more time. be real dude. is not a big deal.
it was a pvp problem honestly.

I never ran this 100nade crap. I tried it on sPVP, too OP for me to want to play it. You kiddies are no different than the rest who like that one and only build where you can beat people with. Now, all you need to do is an extra 2k damage. Stop crying.

so does this also stop cc? slows, immobilization, fear, etc?

i want to see the build but it says server is paused.

you just showed a pv3 build where mobs sit right on your bomb red circles. as every engi knows, people dont sit on red circles. They know bad things happen there.

PvE build you got there. Nicely done.

for WvW , You have no speed = dead to me.

the tooltip needs udpated 25% speed. the theif is also 25% speed. I ran side by side with their signet and is the same. when he gets speedboost, then he gets that extra 8% running speed and gets ahead. at least you can keep up speed on 90% of the time with the birds.- horn – 3 greatsword. that -swoop is awesome.

Did they look at our Bug list thread and bother to tackle one of those? It looks like this game has really come to trinity level style. Support class, tank class and DPS class. engineers do not belong in any of those.

some of these fixes should be put into place.
