The many faces of Alkaholic…

Wow! I like them all but the first one is definitely my favorite. I’m digging the whole borg look you have going on. This is definitely a 10 in my opinion,especially since it’s so hard to find armor that looks good on female asuras.

I tried to make her look as much of an engineer as possible.

I main an engineer,and have been playing it since beta. I know our class still needs a couple tweaks here and there,however,it doesn’t inhibit my gameplay. It has the highest solo damage in the game right now with the right build. Also,you are level 20,you can’t expect to know your class instantly. You haven’t even reached level 80 yet,so it’s a little hard to pass judgement on a class you’ve only just played.

I don’t need a new skin for it,honestly,at this point I would just be satisfied with hiding the nasty thing and being able to show my weapons and back piece.

I’m in! I main an engineer,and while I love it,and has many wonderful attributes,the cosmetic issues make it very bitter sweet for me. We shouldn’t be denied something that other classes are given. Our back pieces clip horribly,and the kit hides our weapons for 90% of the time,so what’s the point in even investing in a legendary? If we can decided on a server,I’m in! I’ll rally as many people as I can,including any members of my guild who would be interested. This is something we needed to do a long time ago,let us not pass this opportunity!

I’ve read a lot of complaints saying that people are forced to buy the infinite coin in order to complete tribulation mode,and that is not the case. I can speak for my self,as well as many of my friends that we completed tribulation mode in both World 1 AND 2 without having to spend a time so it’s completely doable. I also completed it within 2 days at my leisure,so I didn’t find it to be that time consuming. I agree it’s challenging,but that was the whole point. They have even made it easier after the patch. I also think Arena Net was extremely generous in adding the infinite coin. You don’t need it.

With the build I am running now, and having played other classes with powerful builds, I would venture to say that the engineer is the most powerful class, easily.

The nerfs have been infuriating, and I agree that we have been A-net’s punching bag for the last 4 patches -few of us disagree there. The buffs they have handed out have been pretty lame for what we got sheared off, but they show that the engineer concept is what it took me a few months to figure out. The problem with engineer nerfs is that the engineers that are truly excellent are shining a spotlight for the nerf-herders. The engineer that are so-so are wondering what fell on them and why.

The engineer is not like any other class in that it is the absolute “middle of the road, jack of all trades” utility class, which few people like and even fewer are good at. Elixir build is one of the few master builds that puts Engineer on the same footing as the other classes, and while it is great, the learning curve to play can still be very high. Only the elementalist, imo, has a learning curve as high and with an almost equal amount of utility. The other classes do what they do, and do it well. The engineer does a little of everything, and you have to use everything in unison to be truly good.

This is why you have such a disparity in the engineers you meet. You either meet engineers that are amazing and seemingly invincible, or you meet mediocre pistol poppers with a travelling junkyard who fold faster than Superman on laundry day. There are very few in between.

This,this,and all of this. It’s what I’ve been saying to everyone having difficulty on an engineer. I have an engineer,it was my first love and still do this day remains my favorite. I started off as a mediocre dual pistol condition engineer. I now run an HGH grenade berserk engineer running level 40 Fractals and even carrying people through them. The learning curve is extremely high,with only Elementalist having a higher learning curve,but once mastered,the pay off is exceptional.

I main an engineer and WvW has never been an issue for me. It’s jsut about finding the right build. I have a great HGH grenade build that does exceptionally well in WvW.
