Guild Wars 2

i like it nice post

Did I had to qq for the engis to get some love?
This was starting to be a boring class to play with I must to say
Some freshness
Indeed Best time to be FY/EG
A late +1 but with <3
+1 Anet

+1 thanks for the topic

Hey guys again thank you for the replies,
But lets not get too much off topic this not a poll on which class is better.
Yes decided to give it a second shot tbh it’s the only class I like, yes I know the hgh p/p from Maskaganda.2043 and from many other variants of that build, still that’s not what I’m looking for, used to run with blobs (mainly in front of them, that would make me a “semi-tanky-melee-n-supporter”) in wvw not roaming, examples: in zvz my attack position would be at the warrior/guardian side tagging the most opponents in line until I got stunned/locked, then poped my breaker followed by using elixir gun jump back, leaving some fields to support the rest, then straight back into the front line.
This is just a poor scratched example but gives a picture of what i cant do anymore.
Been cursed for loving only this class and only like the builds that get nerfed.. <.<
I just don’t know how to replace the damage absorption 2 invulnerable(s) could do.
These same skills are still there, but maybe they need to be used differently. But how?
Also i just don’t want to go back to being the ranged p/p that’s stays on the back..
That is why some kind of bomb build will be more of what I’m looking for.
@ tsubus.8761 : Your build sounds nice I like the runes of vampirism and most .. the but is .. you have got huge power but no preci/crit to back it up neither the condition cap to make it viable (just my view)
What do you think of : http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcAQJAqel0pqbH5SfF87IxoHdW0bGUBAL6R+rsjB-jEyAorgQfAJQAZvioxWOLiGruGT7SEVbwLiWtQAs2AA-w

This is more or less what I am used to, took off some power and putted it into vita.

Deified.7520:

What gear set is that?

- Do you mean on stats? mixing Power/Toughness with Critical/Vitality
- The Looks mixed Sorrow’s Embrace/ Caudecus’s Manor and Human / Asura Cultural

natzmc.2895:

TBH, my encounters with engineers is that they are ether brilliant and smart in gameplay or kinda awful. I wouldn’t lay blame in nerfs, nerfs are there for a reasons eve if you don’t agree, the point was something was having an unfair effect on gameplay. Just adapt is my advice, like I said some outstanding engineers out there.

- Heya natzmc.2895 ; Kontrolle.3514
- Exactly I would rather adapt than start all over, and I’m ready to work twice as hard
;(

heyas Deified.7520 and Melchiorus.4678
Thank You.
Yes this was more or less the kind of build I was doing ..
PPC Accessories with mixed gear PT V/C .. here’s a screen that might help
I Like WvW a lot Zergin or 1vX
So basically i have few changes to do, maybe u could add me in game we are in SOR

Hi Thank You for reading.

After almost 2 thousand hours of playing this game as engineer, even if i didn’t felt as op I loved my char and enjoyed playing the game, but not anymore I quit a while ago after some frustration but i want to return as I really enjoy the game and all around it.

Had damage and survivability … but after invulnerably nerf on engi’s and ele’s …
I don’t know how to explain this .. it just ruined (at least my engi) completely.
Honestly I don’t want to extend much and bother you with my qq’ing

I would like your feedback in if there are any engineers that room in front of the zerg and if they have any viable builds or something that would help me change my play style or something .. change all my gear .. <.<
Maybe some kind of bomb build?

If you are interested in helping me continue reading

Elaborating i have tried most of the engi’s build in spvp when i used to play, and had a tanky/dps spect with stun breakers and kits .. or what ever you which to call it ..
0/0/20/20/30
The point is i used to feel great in zerg v zerg melee or ranged (even in sm fights)
But now I feel outdated underpowered and useless …
Like my only use is shooting trebs .. but inside the garrison .. cause it cant handle the open world ..

Should I try any other class?

Necros 2 lifes to wvw and i did like them at the beginning wile trying classes.. besides that not any other …
Above that I really want a class that can offer me stun breakers survivability and bit control and or damage.. would that be warrior?
Well i didn’t spend so much time with all of the classes to know, tried all and adapted and loved engi grinded my way in wvw and some instances for gears a bit of spvp but most of all wvw … and never touched it again.

Updating my photo, RIP the Engi’s

this is a good topic, tbh i don’t understand so much whining about this when the fix is a few clic’s away… Join Squad and stop been worried.

received few invites from Sanctum of Rall, and transferred to it … iam currently in HL HightLine, but I would still like to find and WvW hardcore guild.
Thank You All for Answering

Hello, Thank You for reading
Well I am Looking For Guild Hardcore in WvW
I’ve been the last 6 months on Desolation, and well I’m just bored :p
Need to try some other server, some other tier …
80 engi with almost 1,8kage over 7months
I am Asking what options do I have?
Feel free to give me advise :p

Aneu.1748:

Anatolian Turk.4057:

im going to post some screen shots from last night taken inside SFR garrison. Viz and Deso were all attacking SFR garri at the same time but SFR managed to stopped them from capping.

Just look at the orange swords in the first SS, we were being attacked on 3 sides lol.

The same thing was happening the night before on Deso with Viz and SFR attacking from either side on Garrison, doesn’t meant they were teaming up they were just taking the opportunity to knock our doors together, even though we wiped both sides multiple times whenever they knocked and then they gave up

Nice bags!

Add’ing that even if vizuna seems to team up with deso is just bad makeup.. they merely saw an opportunity as quoted, what we do experience is sfr and vizu’s teaming up and coordinate most attacks focused on deso most of the times, shame that u feel a need to gang up our less than 20 ppl over all bg’s (not on prime times)
Sad but true, deso will find the way to overcome.

See you as loot bags on the ground! ;I

i just completed the pve and pvp" monthlys and got no laurels i got the chest 20 coins and some other stuff, but not laurels :S

U made me sad, but its true

/agree with most, but i think we can be as bunky as any class

i agree KT is worthless atm and just a reduced cod would make us all fall in love with the new kr

First of all RiP KR and Engis that use 2/3 kits
KR = Joke 20s cod and shared by all kits its just a kitten joke if u ask me..
KR 2nd Super Elixir was badly removed as it was much more useful than a cripple every 20 secs.
ToolKR: Meeeeeh :\ such low time that it does not feel like a boost
NadeKR: Worthless
BombKR: Lack range
EGKR: Meeeh :\
MedKT: Lack more time
FTKT: Lack more time

@Rfreak.6591
u need to rephrase or hell I am very dumb cause i don’t see the nerf u talking about :\

Well i feel sorry for all of you flaming at the FT, its and awesome kit, all kits are, you just l2p with them as for ppl flaming the engineer you need to shut slry u need to
I have never been flamed for being engi aside from Arah Path 4 when simin was a dps tester, and at that time i made a different spec fully concentrated in damage.
Now if you ask me,
Hell 20 seconds on KR is a joke, we rely on changing kits. Kinda like eles and changing attunements…
KR = Joke 20s cod and shared by all kits its just a kitten joke if u ask me.. the FT fire aura is a good idea better then the low damage flame aoe it used to have.. other than engineers that used to rely on KR i don’t see why do you wine about FT

Its not the first time i think about full suport/healer engi
what i can tell you that will help your healing output… run with 3 turrets and EG.
Healing turret and 2 others of your choice, what i want to focus where would be the blast aoe healing, so you place the your 2 other turrets, after place healing turret and as soon as you see the white circle on the ground deploy all turrets = 3 aoe healings. blast from shield work also. Kit refinement Trait for a 2nd super elixir. Yest true power of the engis are blasts.
Also we certainly are NOT “- Our class heals are pretty badly scaled with healing power stat so you can avoid that and pick other stats.” Since turrets started to scale with our stats…

Shadow.3475:

Now I play Guardian more and more because there I can jump down in the middle off the enemy zerg and help my server and I have a chance off surviving.

you can do that too as enginner .. /sight

Aw your engi looks just like mine xD (but i use shoes not boots)
Anyway We would like to know what runes and sigils you are using, also I thought using the speedy gadgets traits would benefit more in this build since you use 3 gadgets?
So this seems like a cool build but need a bit more thinking in to it.

Specterryu Quipter.8412:

Let me quote myself on this one:
In regards to the Ele comment:
I classify healing just yourself, also as support. Why? If you can keep yourself alive via heals you are supporting your party in not having to have them rez you. If that makes any sense, it does to me anyway.
Tanking, I define as being able to take big hits. Either due to having a big health pool, and/or having a lot of armor.
I am grading the entire profession, not one glass cannon build (but let me add) or tank builds.
In regards to the Guardian and Engineer comment:
depending on the build each roll can go up or down by one.

And I agree with what you r saying just not the 1 part… depending on build every class can be 3 … Dont get me wrong I am just thinking that you lacked some experience with different builds on each class… example you would never say engi is 1-2-2 if you run like this you are failing… as DPS/Tank/Support:
Engi could be 3-1-2 a 1-3-2 or even a 1-2-3
What I’am trying to explain here is that you can’t rate classes like that since there are so many variants on the builds

i didn’t quite understand this could you please rephrase ?

I have the same problem… Its not a bug.. but it could be improved..when ever i change something out of water, when i go under the skills are all changed and sometimes this fairly kills me because i have keys bounded to kits such as T or R

Agree with Amadeus.
This is mostly your opinion in non specified builds you have tried..
Warrior : 3 in most no doubts
Eles can’t tank? lol…
Gardians: cant support/tank strongly? bahaha
Engis: dps1 |?|?| don’t even know what to say about this..
Anyway, honestly thinking all classes can be lvl 3 in some roll, despite they sacrifice something else. So the overall this exel is kinda wrong i would say.
For this to be more specific it should be rated from class builds and not just professions in general

disconnecting a lot since the patch today .I have been told this is only happening in big crowded areas :S this tread is so big… is there a solution ?

Alkron without doubts that engi is my favorite and engis have 2 versions of people, the ones who hate it and the ones who love it, iam one of those who love it. But I wouldn’t let myself be foolishly by this “blinded love”. I look at all the classes in the game and its not hard to see that… Just pointing out my overall view in the game terms.
Also I would say engi is the one that most depend on gear/spects and the most hard class to play.

Ayestes.1273:

Mortar with improved Range and Radius would be okay. The #1 could certainly use a damage boost though.

This trait does not work
As for the ft on gate, it’s not completely useless and there is always a way around retaliation, but be careful you’ll need to stand still to hit the rams.
But any pistol with coated or a few nades spams on the ram would do much more damage than a ft, thing is you can interrupt the ram users.

Guys Remember… hmmn where should i start…
Ow yes the range, ye 1,500 range (I’ll have a stronger arm than Rifle shot lol).
Now lets say you have a Player Target at more than 1000 range.. now try to hit him with the nades and tell me how many times you missed, he dodged or he just ran out of it… nades fail on moving targets you need to be lucky and shot at the front to where the target is moving and pray to hit him…
Also if you spect nades you lack survivability so you’ll fell like a thief without stealth

Edit: I strongly agree with nade1 autotarget and faster trows… maybe less range on nades and more on mortars rifles and pistols?

Well i want to leave my opinion here aswell. Yes Engi can be useful, resourceable , tanky etc etc “almost” as every classes, but lets be honest here, the people complaining are more than right, I mean lets just compare a bit:

Warrior: Massive DmG output while you manage to survive very well, if you try the same on engi you will fell like a piece of papper, even a low lvl in wow will kill you one shot :p
Elementalist: The best class ever… i mean just look at them they have 4 kits and they don’t lose 7-9 skills for it…
Mesmer: what can i say about this? Ow yes they have auto attacks buffs and more damage than my pistol, plus more than us in every thing…

I mean how seriously can you be when you say engineer is good? Apart from the bug list that still needs to be fixed, we look at the other classes and think “should I just reroll?”

same thing here i have drivers updated :’(

I’am having trouble with bsod at startup so I tried this “switch” and it fixed the bsod at startup, unfortunately it crashes after 5 min ingame

Who would actually like rng ?

I keep asking myself why do you send this off topic? its about the dps checker called simin in arah path 4, its not most bosses and most fights in spvp or inside fractal’s 40
Its about having that very high dmg, no need for survival, have you ever tried it? She’s like one of the dummies with huge hp ;p

blutstein.2468:

Scope doesnt work.

Then I would change it to Speedy Gadgets, also after this change would i rather another gadget or would I still run with elixir U or maybe another kit?

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Adamant_Guard_Shield

Sorry to double post, but i wanted to REMIND You that this tread is about SIMIN in Arah Path 4, we don’t want self regulating defenses we want pure and massive dmg, also wanted to remind that most pve engineer will not be full zerker/dps’rs in the rest of the instances, since most already got used not to be on top dps meter and rerolled a balanced supportive build. Anyway I wanted this topic to be a little useful to myself. I want to do simin with my guildies which told me i need to change to full dps, now i dont want a normal all going around dps’er build, i just want one that allows me to do simin well as if my party had 4 zerker warriors and 1 time warp.

here is a build that iam still testing on, that I think will help me on simin battle, it works similar to the 100nades build but has more focus on precision since the battle will last more than the 1st burst of the grenadier
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcAQFAUlIqiXX7SiF17IyoHk2nNhgKAYfewWtFEC;TsAg0CnowxgjAHLOOck4Mq4Yx0CA

did any of you actually read that this is not about overall instances, it’s about Arah Path 4 I would say specifically Simin

Hello Specterryu Quipter.8412, thank you for the reply, yes I wanted a constructive criticism that’s what you did, so awesome post.
Ill definitely try the Kit Refinement, although i didn’t like the rune set so much but that’s just opinions I guess.
And one last thing, you said :
“Simply because Healing Power is’t worth much in GW2. I left you with some Healing Power, but with what you had before, you would suffer from diminishing returns.”
I didn’t quite get this part did you mean there is a healing cap? If so then having so much little healing power would not be worth it…

lets focus on fixing their bugs 1st

Indeed I can NOT understand why ppl say no to this, seems like a few of the posters around here want to be rewarded for being “no lifers” (iam sorry but thats what i honestly think of you)
We all know what DAILY stand for.
What we ask is some comprehension for the ppl that actually work/studies or have kids to attend to in real life. This would not post any kind of threat to the “Hardcore” players, and help much the casual ones. Any way some more faces showed up to support this topic I thank you. Btw i have one thread about this:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Laurels-and-dailies/first#post1370611

could you had some screens to this?

ofc removing the limit would be ideal, and we know anet don’t rly like that, but I would gladly pay the gem fee to increase the limit

At 1st I was skeptical about this new system, now that a few dungeons have passed I don’t see much of a difference.
So -1 to this

+1 I thought about making this suggestion a while ago but didnt had many ideas on how to suggest it, maybe now some ppl like Skyblue.9358 would see this post and share their ideas.
ty for the post

+1
we want more emotes :p

ok so there was some kind of misunderstanding with your friend, Jan didnt ward laurels to any1
2nd i agree with the character and guild name change, exemple i named my char “açucar” but I forgot the word had an ascent making it “açúcar” so this would be a +1 for me. Ppl CAN idd change their names.. the way around ppl that change name for pretending would be that we would be able to do character name but not account name. Also the guild name and tag change would be a +1 since a few times in our guild chat we talk about our tag and the way it should actually be..

Iam Not sure if any of you guys thought the same way I did when i first look at this topic, I saw it like someone said Afoxi.6854 that he could do a 4 “area healing” combo, and it is possible with just one healing turret, when you place this this turret a white circle will pop very quickly and then disappear (this is the time in which you have the water field activated) so what you want to do is make as many blasts as you can while that is active, this is why ppl then to fail when they say full turrets engis are garbage/fails (not that iam saying they are op :p)
Here is how it goes:
-Put 1 Healing Turret and 3 more others.
-Place the 3 other turrets on the ground.
-Get your fingers ready.(F2 to F4)
-Place the Healing Turret.
-Deploy them.

Light.6095: Field Bomb from the Bomb Kit (not sure which Water Field is that)

that is exactly what i wanted to talk about, condition damage or full power.. what if i wish to go full healing? discussion ..
Why do i use power:
ill do around 700 up to 1000×2 depending who Iam attacking with Pistol1
1000 up to 1300 with EG
stacking bleeds that will do 120 dmg… not sure about poisons
now if i would redo my gear and go Prec<Tough<Condicion i think my damg would be 300 up to 500×2 with pistols and around 900 with EG but my bleeds would do 240 (at least double). this would be perfect since bleeds would stack along with poison would dmg massively over time (theoretically) but i think you forgot how much condition remove there is around, and this would be a build that suit all pve and pvp
