As with all damaging conditions, the damage ticks are determined by whatever stack does the -most- damage and has time left. Burning damage doesn’t get immediately overwritten.

Curios if you run Sanctum Sprinter as a naked Charr? Because if so. I’m probably the one who called you out in game. You’re simply being mean for no reason. There is nothing competitive about this mini-game. It’s mostly luck based and connection based. You’re just trying to block others from getting a one time achievement for your amusement.

That was me. Were you the one that said their 7 year old had more brains than me? I’ve had several people call me out for winning and sometimes it blurs together.

I understand where people are coming from when they let others win, but it’s not something I chose to do. I don’t go out of my way to tell you that I don’t like how you play the minigame. I could understand if people got mad at winners if they won by cheating, but that is not the case here.

As far as it being competitive, everything about this minigame is competitive. It’s a race with powerups to help you get to the finish faster and hinder other racers. There’s even an achievement for placing 1st and an achievement for placing in the top 3.

Sad about Elixir R. I have a lot to complain about with the patch, but on the engineer, this one is symbolic. The stun break shuffle, and engis aren’t the only ones affected, was wholly done without an awareness around synergy and and grace in development. Elixir R, for me, is symbolic of everything wrong with the patch.

Did it occur to you that Anet did this on purpose? They have said that they wanted choices to feel like they matter. By removing the level of utility on certain skills, it forces players to consider other options more strongly and weigh the pros and cons of what you do pick. They don’t want any skills to be clearly sub-par, and they don’t want any skills to be something that has to be taken.

A-Net really?

Is this supposed to be about engineers or…? Specific complaints are usually helpful.

This guy uses 3 kits (grenades, toolkit, exilir kit) with the healing turret to great affect. It may not involve a huge zerg, but these tactics could still work.

Signets are a magical item, which is outside of the engineer’s expertise. Besides, engineer has plenty of ways to easily keep swiftness up.

Poison Dart Volley

It’s an intended effect, seemingly. The description of this skill in the GW2 hardcover guide says that the darts are in a spread because they’re being fired so fast so the user can’t aim properly. The supposed upside is that you can use it to poison multiple enemies in a crowd.
