Guild Wars 2

My final iteration of my engineer, Lucky Charms!

Where to start. The game is just too easy. Everyone can get achievement points in PVE, no one is left behind. You’ve done a right step in PVP. Let’s analyse the achievements: need to win, need to win, need to win. Whereas PVE: participate, help, work together. See a problem? You are not incentivizing the player enough to go PVE. Offer a great reward (such as a legendary backpack), but cut the supply of them tenfold (by making it only that winners get the achievements and put in tiers of semi good rewards), by making so that only the Meta achievers can get it, while others get something that’s less of a value, such as resonating sliver, since everyone likes those. Economy is better off (less rewards flood the market), players are better off, you are better off as you can be sure that players will gate other players as much as possible from getting the final shiny. I like where you are going with current events, where players have to steal from other players to get achievement points, but I believe you could still kick it up a notch by making so that instead of priory fighting inquest, priory (player side) could fight consortium (player side) and the losing sides loses that much from their achievement pool. This way, people have incentive to try, because now, people are just gonna be like meh, I’ll do it and I’ll get something everyone will get, whereas if it’s exclusive, more people will join to get the exclusive shiny. You could also throw a match-maker to ensure fair-play between the two sides, no stacking, etc.

So basically the OP wants to play Black Desert Online…

Feeling like a bruiser, but I am rather scrappy!

This is what I use for General PvE, works well in fractals and dungeons.

This is not as much DPS as you could get going full nades spammer, BUT it has a lot more control and is way more fun. You can blast for swiftness with a little practice you don’t even have to stop much if at all either. Target about 600-800 units ahead with orbital strike, then thundclap on top of that and deploy your healing turret and detonate it in the lightning field. With practice you can do this without stopping and I have little trouble keeping myself and my party members trucking along at full speed.

I don’t suppose you have a link to what you were reading…

I might be able to play a little bit during the day Friday … all depends on how fast I can download/update 2 computers with the game.

Friday night my other half is teaching a stage combat class and also one Saturday morning. Then we have a show (Winnie the Pooh) that we are performing on stage at 2pm on Saturday and again at 6pm on Sunday. We also have a multitude of things to still get ready for our next show (Peter Pan) that auditions aren’t even for until Nov 14 & 15 ……… busy, busy, busy …… games are when we can fit them in.

Interesting mental image

I seem to be having trouble finding a topic on how this will be implemented. Will boss lockouts be just the loot, or does it mean that if you kill a boss with one group, you are unable to fight that boss with another group until reset? I ask because I have two different guilds I want to raid with, regardless of the loot, and I want to know if it will even be possible to raid with both groups.

I am incredibly biased with my engineer because I like explosions and playing the condition damage game. Engineer is viable for Power or Condition damage and brings a lot of utility to a party that will only be expanded come HoT. That being said, if you don’t like continually swapping in and out of Kits, then engineer is not for you.

your raw defense is overkill unless you want to attract the attention of most enemies in PvE. I can see this being fun in open world, but I would not take it into instanced content.

Opinion aside, I would swap Adaptive Armor for Perfectly Weighted for more passive might stacking and replace Elixir X with Mortar so you can have a ranged option if you need it. With all the aggro from your toughness, the Flash Shell and Elixir Shell would be very strong support skills allowing you to face tank more effectively than the long CD on the toss skill of Elixir X.

You may also want to change the rune to Strength since you will be focusing on might stacking for damage.

Very new and very proud!

This has been bugged for as long as I can remember.

This post is truly inspirational.

I feel your pain. I run around boarderland trying to do dailys or farm badge of honors. But out of no where come this roamer who try to gank me. I try to run away showing him I’m not interested, but he keep chasing me half way across the map. Even if I use a quaggan tonic to show I dont’ want to fight, he keep killing me.

I want to tell the community if you see someone run around boarderland, that dont’ necessary mean he is interested in fighting. Especially those in quaggan form. Please leave them alone. If you see people taking a camp, that most likely he is just doing dailys. At least wait for him to take the objective before trying to kill him.

Obviously everyone will continue ganking the OP just like they continuing ganking me… Which make the post kind of funny.

Hi, I’m an engineer who enjoys roaming, and if I see you running to a camp by yourself, you can bet your sorry backside that I am going to try and kill you dead in this open world-ish PvP area. Roaming is not a designed game feature, it is something the players created and it is up to us to maintain it or see it die off. I for one will kill players like you just out of principle of Red is Dead.

I come from the land of the Engineers, and I must say that I like what you have done thus far Irenio! I just recently made a ranger after seeing the Druid reveal. Because I now play both these classes that you worked on so hard I can see lots of synergy from these two classes working together and for that cross class gameplay I thank you. You are doing a great job, let the haters hate, let the educated rise up and present factual dialogue and let’s see where we can go with Rangers! I hope we see more of you in the future Irenio!

I have 2 builds below that I would recommend and use:

1. Full zerk. I know it is very squishy but hear me out. If you place flash shell from Mortar Kit, you negate a lot of damage from most enemies and if you play the damage game well enough, you kill everything before it can harm you. Obviously getting stun locked is death by most classes in zerk and this is no exception.

2. Sinister. Basically you just want to stack all the burns in the world on the enemy. It is important to know that using streamlined kits buff for swapping to bomb kit will drop a bomb that pulls enemies into it when it goes off, very good for stacking enemies into your burn fields from your FT and Bomb kit.

The Zerk build is actually deceptive in its usefulness as it’s utilities give a ton of support. Mortar and Elixir Gun combo very well together giving you lots of blasts (two from Orbital Strike and 1 from Acid bomb) and a water field to use them in from Elixir Shell on Mortar. The best part of healing this way is it does a lot of damage on the spot you do it, as these blasts are hard hitting cause zerk stats. Also if you stand in your Elixir shell and your Super Elixir and apply regen to yourself, you can face tank to an extent as long as the fields are there (for the record, by the end of those fields, everything is typically dead anyway). You can also use the blasts on your fire field to blast might, which is what I usually do, just to kill everything faster and this does help in lots of pug situations as plenty of people don’t use support in open world events nearly enough outside of things like reflect(like in vinewrath).

The Sinister set is just another flavor but by taking Bombs we vary our capabilities a fair bit worth mentioning. That Streamlined kits buff should be consumed in battle by swapping to your Bomb kit, this drops a bomb that pulls enemies together which is a very strong CC and makes it much easier to land all your AoE skills. With all the burn and poison from your kits, even the mighty husks stand no chance. It is important to note that you can blast stealth with this build and that makes keeping escort NPCs much easier to keep alive by dropping aggro on them. I would recommend taking a shield for out of combat utility via an extra blast finisher (or in combat if you don’t need the insane burn from Blowtorch). Honorable mention to Glueshot, very underused in Silverwastes. Pop that on teragriffs and laugh as they trip all over themselves.

I could go on, but this is already in danger of being TLDR.

Could you provide more information? By PvE do you mean open world, Dungeon crawling, Fractals? Maybe all of them? Do you intend to be in an organized group, or solo?

back to topic at hand I think that simply making shorter duration buffs not overwrite longer duration buffs is something that every class in the game will appreciate. This goes beyond just Superspeed, but I would like to see this go live by the time HoT hits.

Elixir Gun will offer a gap opener and it’s Tool belt is a stun break. Slick Shoes is my favorite though, Knockdown fields on use and Tool belt is a stun break that gives Superspeed. Utility Goggles is a stun break that gives fury and immunity to blind and Tool belt is 10 stacks of vulnerability. Elixir S is a full invulnerability that breaks stuns and Tool belt is a stealth. That is all I can remember off the top of my head.

I can see this being decent for soloing open world content, but in any organized group others will might stack for you and FT auto attack is low in comparison to most other options. As for PvP, I feel like this is already a build that is superior with HgH traited as seen in Wolfineers build here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfMXXpwsI0M

I used to use something similar to this.

Seriously, we should have had this fixed by now. Show Engineers some love for once that isn’t a glitch with our toolbelt Anet.

Incendiary Ammo + Poison Dart Volley, then just CC spam them for the next 5-6 seconds and laugh

I found the buff of getting Grenadier reactivated quite nice actually. The problem with the Grenade Barrage going off is probably a result of queuing grenade toss to high, which is solved by easing up a little on that trigger finger XD

Yes, please join us in our conquests, for we have only just begun and have already become even more efficient and deadly. Just give us a go, we don’t bite…unless you have a red nameplate.

When I try to access the TP it looks like it is loading for a second and then it just stops. None of the tabs work except the pick up tab which is useless by itself. I have tried every avenue to access it again in-game; I have tried a buy more option from collections tab, I have tried right clicking an item and sell on TP, I have tried talking to a merchant directly, and of course I have tried the Black Lion Trading post icon in the top left corner of my screen.

So now I am a little worried that it is something to do with my firewall settings, since this morning I was asked if I wanted to remove a potential threat from my PC and that is the only thing I have done differently on my side.

I have included a snap shot of what I think might be the problem. I found this in my firewall logs and it does match times I logged into GW2 and attempted to sell items on the TP. If this is indeed the issue I would like confirmation so that I could at least contact AVG (my security software) to resolve this as quick as possible.

EDIT: I just realized that this looks like it’s just my teamspeak folder

I would Suggest Sanctum of Rall. I will say that we are constantly put up against Jade Quarry and Blackgate in WvW, but unlike them we have MUCH smaller que times and love wiping zergs. If you are looking for a good fight in WvW, SoR is glorious! PvE wise, you just need to find a good guild. I know my guild started doing some PvE for obsidian shards and ended up unlocking all the temples just cause we had a huge turnout from shouting out in LA (maybe 30 of us and like 50 pugs).
