Guild Wars 2

I decided to re-roll a Charr Elementalist, and when beginning combat with Duke Barradin before he possesses the statue, I noticed that he had the Toxic Corruption buff. On top of this a few level 8 Hallucinations spawned, taking me down almost instantly. Wasn’t sure where to put this, but thankfully you can’t ‘die’ in the tutorial, just enter the downed state.

I agree, though if you’re going to have those titles, other titles should be added for the different achievements for the personal story – like Centurion for Charr characters, or Advocate of the Crown for Humans, even the early titles your character is given by NPCs ‘Slayer of Issormir’ ‘Snaff Savant’ ‘Hero of Shaemoor’ etc.

Unfortunately the only flaw I see in this idea is the lack of titles for the Sylvari characters (I haven’t paid much attention to them, but from memory you’re only known as a Wyld Hunt Valient through the Sylvari PS, I could be wrong though.)

Either that or take the Elixir Gun and use Fumigate to clear the lightning bug infestation that the Idea Incubation Lab in Rata Sum appears to have.

Will we see a return of the Star of Transference from the first game?

While there’s no shortage of skill points in Guild Wars 2, it would be an item of convinience for players purchasing items from Miyani by allowing them to retrive excess skill points from their alts.

I’ve come across the blighters in Caledon Forest, it took me a while to find the right skill combo to use (on my level 35 engie), which basically resulted in using 3 turrets as cannon fodder and spam grenades from a distance. I also unintentionally pulled a group of the dolls inside Caledon Haven at one point… the Lionguard never stood a chance.

Now, I don’t play much in the area of sPvP, and WvW I keep my Engineer on Supply duty (unless they remove the permenant swiftness next patch). From what I have seen and read from the recent changes to the Grenade Kit (30% nerf, but Sigils and 15% bleeding via traits), are pretty concerning, though if they were to make the #1, #2 and #3 skills auto-aim on a target as it does underwater the ‘nerf’ wouldn’t seem so bad.

Arenanet doesnt test any of this in actual combat situations, merely on stationairy target dummies.

Also another point to note – the Engineer does have some decent control abilities, if utilized correctly you’d only have still targets. Unfotunately that limits you to 1 v 1 combat. Although Off-hand Pistol and Bomb Kit skills #5 would play some benefit in stalling 2-3 players until you can either combo invis or sprint away

That might be just my experience in WvW and PvE talking though – knowing that I assess the situation and switch out the skills before combat starts regardless of what build and gear I have.
