Guild Wars 2

I like the idea of making it aoe, but instead of blocking it should give retaliation per targets hit with a max of 5 to not make it op. As it is right now the retribution traitlines seems to be needing more retaliation than the 2 sec on dodge or halos heal.

I would leave the damage portion in the flip over skill but move the aoe daze to the first. That will give u a somewhat reliable interrupt with bonus damage if you land it.

I wouldn’t be mad at a ranged condi greatsword, but it would be better if they made it like the spear. Both ranged and melee.

InsaneQR.7412:

I am the only one arround here that wants a greatsword as a ranged condi weapon for rev?
Its an iconic weapon for soldier classes, with condi ranged it would find a use it didnt had before would go well with Asgeir Dragonrender, trahearne or Riannoc ir even tge pale tree if she dies.

Hopefully these things get fixed some day. I loved the BW2 revenant, I understand displacement had to go but I didn’t like the rework besides that. I felt that dealing with other classes removing conditions from you was part of the intricate gameplay or at least positioning for Mallyx.

I agree that sword would be awesome, maybe some kinda corsair elite spec. Since A net is releasing so many pirate skins.

Verify if your combat log has that type of damage selected, you won’t see it otherwise.

IMO the changes to Mallyx wern’t completely bad, it just needs a lil bit more.
We lost a cc in UA, and with the changes to EtD it just feels week now.

I suggest, if at all possible to add some control mechanic to one or both of those abilities because as it stands Mallyx is all offense and no defense whatsoever ( not even a stunbreak). The control mechanic could be something like:
Pulsing slow on Etd 1 sec per pulse or
Knockdown on UA.
I don’t think this changes are super powerful but it could be something we can get without reverting the changes.

BTW. Love the idea of changing the UA field to a chaos field rather than Dark as it enables the mace’s leap to give us chaos armor.

Since they removed the displacement from UA and changed EtD, can we add slow to one of this skills? The thief stolen ability from revenant has slow on it and hits like a truck, but the revenant itself doesn’t have a lot of slow application. Anyway is just a suggestion.

Now I’m just speculating here, but I believe the energy cost that we currently have for the weapons were initially balanced for having one weapon set. If you play the revenant without changing weapons the energy management is not that bad but when you change weapons like in other classes and not the legend you still don’t have the energy you lost from the previous weapon. I’m not promoting one weapon set, I’m just sharing where I think the problem came from in hopes they re-balance the energy cost of some skills.

I agree with you guys on this. On top of the issues discussed already, I think that some of the energy costs need to be lowered. Not on all skills but on a few. The high energy cost on some of the utilities prevents you from chaining multiple attacks unless you’ve been in combat for a bit already and have 100% energy. I understand that energy management is part of the class core mechanics, but it is horrible when the taunt on Jalis costs the same as the elite, and when you can’t attack because you’re saving 35 energy for a stun breaker.
BTW only Shiro and Jalis have a stun breaker currently. (Not counting traits)

I was thinking it would be awesome if we got a cool new elite skill sometime in the future. So my idea is of a Twisted watchwork creature as an elite pet the follows you around. Kind of like the Flesh golem but for an engineer. What do you guys think?

If you want to melee as an engine equip bomb kit and took kit , they synergies very well. If you don’t think engine can melee then that’s cuz u don’t think outside of the cookie cutter builds.

This is my engineer.

I posted both my engineers……. yes i have two, working on 5 anyway you can kinda decide from looking at pictures but i will say this tho IMHO Asuran engineers is the most fun out of the two cuz of their story and all of the jumps.

1. A power buff on the pistol 1 skill since the bleeding has low duration.
2. Get some boons on the gadgets ( maybe stability).
3. Hammer and Crossbow

I like the ideas Decklan, i would also suggest maybe adding some type of boons to the gadgets. I think boons being in the gadgets would make them more viable.

P.S. Stability comes to mind as a boon since they took it from FT

I would have to agree with Shadow , the combo field uses rewards smart plays imo.

This is a very fun and viable build imo, i just got done trying it out in hot joins and solo q, and it works great, thanks for sharing.

P.S. It survives a lot more than i expected.

I love the idea of a crossbow and with the lightning theme on it…… even better.

Even if it is by order like wiki says, if one were to drop SE first it would negate the waterfield for 10 sec which might be what chiken is reffering to. I have seen this happend before but more so cuz of guardians symbols than SE.

I would like an invite….. plz

I personally like the medium armor on the engineer, but then again just for the looks so i understand why heavy would make sense.

I like the hammer idea but what do u guys think about dual mace or maybe mace /shield, i think tht would be awesome.

I use a similar build to the one u want and IMO dropping 5 on dueling and putting them in illusions for Illusionary Persona is the biggest defense and offense change tht i made.
Also i run a sword/sword and staff for the chaos armor and defensive boons from staff since most of the times i’m at melee range. The pistol offhand is great the only reason i dont use it is tht i like how the dual swords look plus i like being able to block, but in no way i’m saying it’s better than pistol for the build in fact i sometimes switch to pistol myself. I’m currently running the 10/30/0/0/30 shattercat build, and it works like a charm.

You can also try putting 10 points in Inspiration and pick up Mender’s purity to remove a condition when you heal. I found it very usefull when i was running it, right now i use arcane thievery because i find the extra boon stealing from the target to be very beneficial during a fight.

Omg dude !!! 89% crit . I’m going to try it now just cuz it looks awesome. BTW thanks to Osicat for his awesome vids.

This is only for free roaming and pvp it changes during pve to accomodate to the party needs.
Blink, Arcane thievery, Decoy and the Elite i use Mass invisibility( if i’m roaming ),Time Warp (in big groups).
I know Arcane thievery is still a bit buggy but is my only condition removal and when it works is awesome. I also change between blink and portal depending on the situation.

Ninja mesmer , i love my mesmer!!!
