Engineers- Why we are subpar

I definitely do not believe that engineer is as subpar as you are saying. There are certain builds that dominate in WvW and PvP, and can also be successful in PvE. However I do think that Anet has yet to decide where this profession is headed in the future. Engineers are an underdog FOR NOW, but even as the underdog we can get kitten done.

So, for now, im gonna continue WvW’ing and enjoying the chance to experiment with different builds in my favorite profession. I suggest you do the same.

The TANKCAT build. Prybar some faces!

My Tankcat story:
It was in one of the enemy’s borderlands, at a peak gaming hour, when I first attempted the Tankcat. I only swapped out jewelry- I still had on my normal Knight’s set with rune of mesmer. Myself and two other (fairly newbie and also engineer) guildies were playing around and, after about an hour of practicing, I suggested we try to take a supply camp. Once we arrived at Bluewater Lowlands, I realized that we would also be facing the army of quaggan guards, but I still felt confident, so I magneted one of them and the fight began. I basically button mashed for a good 10 minutes, until only the main guard person was left. Aaand then two enemy players showed up and all of my confidence left. But I kept mashing those buttons and eventually (after being downed once) came out victorious. ONLY THEN did I find out that my guildies had died before we even killed all the guards, and they were watching in wonder as …..drumroll please….. the Tankcat took over. SOOO I am definitely sticking with this build, I had the most fun Ive ever had in this game with it, and Mischwoof, you are a genius among geniuses. P.S. I am definitely gonna get full Soldier’s set now.

I LOVE the Arc Valoir thing for ranger, and Alfonso seems kinda cool. Alfonso sounds like some big tough mafia dude, so I totally imagine a norn.

My Engineer is named Icebaine, I just thought it sounded cool and I am decked out in dredge gear with celestial, frost, and blue dye
