Guild Wars 2

So I recently started guildwars 2 back up and noticed quiet a few changes. I was just wondering who would you guys say is the Single Target damage champ for pve and pvp . I prefer range but am willing to give meele a try.
ive taken a look at the ranger and its pet. If I can keep the thing alive I do some great dps. any advice to help me start out again would be much appretiated

go play a engineer then you have all the right in the world to complain

Lets take the most responded to engineer post and continue this . Give me a dang auto cast since you nerfed me into the ground. at least ill prevent my fingers from breaking

I like the fact that grenades don’t have an auto attack and that they have to be manually targeted. I always assumed that this was one of the reasons why they did decent damage.

Yeah but now not so much, they do the same amount of damage as one shot from a mages fireball, diff is ours is a skillshot and has three small attacks, you would think a skill shot would do more damage then something that has an auto attack but because of sigils we have a better chance of constantly activating whatever sigil we have yet it really doesnt matter if you cant hit the thing your aiming at

anynone try aiming at a mesmer in pvp with grenades dodge invis blink o yea and the best juke of all, serpitine

Well I can’t speak for the WvW crowd or PvE, but now that sigils work for us, it’s a significant buff to Engineers. Thanks to the weapon swap mechanics of Engineers being far superior to any other class (since they themselves are on no CD, just the CD of the move initiated upon swap) we are able to build heavy dodge builds, add in that extra AoE condition, etc, an extra 3 stacks of might, etc.

We were already one of the best overall PvP professions and this new addition can change a lot! I’ve already started to incoroporate this into other builds. This might even force me to finally give up my rifle… but not yet.

Time to start testing builds again… good times.

guarantee this is going to last till next patch

na rifle seems fine

why dont we just revamp grenades altogether, 1 thrown grenade with aoe, Granadier boosts damage and cooldown and have number 1 auto attack. easy balance just make it mock fireball with a different animation, heck give it the same animation

ure not really tossing them behind you ..ure just running faster than you throw them

sigils are still useless on a grenade if you still cant hit the thing your aiming at. what is the point of having 1200 range if I can take a sip of my soda before it reaches its destination. Seriously look at the grenade kit and either give it baseball speed or auto attack, I find it actually pretty funny when all you have to do is side step and your fine. You nerf our damage yet a warrior can hundred blades you then jump right into an eviscerate lol thats fair. pray that you have your stun breaker off cooldown. I can deal with immobile turrets or a flamethrower that is actually made from a common household heater, but please give us one kit, just one that we can pvp with and not look like we are nerfing our team.

BAZOOKA, RPG, ROCKET LAUNCHER kit we have homing torpedoes why not a homing missle

and maybe an elite skill that boosts the current kit u have equipped

turn the mortar into a howitzer not the grape shooter it is now
