Guild Wars 2

Actually they would be that if they had TL:DR versions , till then no.

To be more exact the skill “Swoop” on Ranger’s GS #3 Skill.

^ Mmm fun times with Rocket Boots. Few things with the above build:
> Too hard to sacrifice Surprise Shot (Rifle Turret) not only because it has a super-short cooldown, but it’s a reliable guided projectile with decent range that hits hard. Could almost be called a core ability of the build.
> This probably comes down to taste, but I use this build as a “sniper” build rather than a close-quarters build. So in Firearms I prefer to take Rifled Barrels (200 range), Hair Trigger, Rifle Mod (+10% flat damage)
> Similarly I end up taking Scope instead of Power Wrench.

It’s a fun build in full zerker gear, but be warned about the lack of defense. Anything with high evasion (e.g. Thieves, Mesmers) or the ability to lock you down (stuns/fear/etc) = you better be on your toes

You definitely know what you’re talking about unlike most , bravo bravo

I havent found a single thing i couldn’t kill fast enough with SD , if you don’t destroy your target you’re doing it wrong (obvi rite?) heh

A well timed enemies dodge roll can really mess you up though AS STATIC DISCHARGE (Some weird chat filter forced me to type like that….)

You’re suppose to count those dodges accordingly but you’re definitely right.

I agree with Ensign , flushed 15k GS so far and counting. Keep it going!

Record it so we can better analyze , thanks.

Surprisingly most of you still doesn’t understand Anet’s definition of “Build diversity” lol

I don’t know what you’re talking about , i’d suck those toes …and i most def DON’T suck ANY toes (or do I?).

I dont know what WvW you mean but mine still ticks for 350 off 3.3k attack .

Eh lets not talk about the current state warriors.

When it comes to Engineer i feel as though 100 is a slap in the face , i’d say around 500ish-1k

VIVorcha.7853:

Mesmers are that way. A good Mesmer is properly rewarded by roflstomping entire parties.

This bring tears to my eyes..

Hmm i was going to preemptively say L2P nub , but after “hearing you out” we could use that next tier since we must be in so close at more times than not , but its definitely not a neccessity. Does make sense so kudos to you

The typical MM are Power build , but some like to offset it by going Condi. Your best bet is to use rifle to pierce , and just CC him to hell ..the OCS on Rifle will allow you to break the bind and knock down the Necro , and from the JS and BB you’ll easily kill his minions if played properly with sufficient accuracy on the two.

Far as utilities go , id bring a SB because they do insane damage from terror to finish you , i highly advise not going condi because some are known to carry plague signet to really dominate such opponent.

He didnt even use Dark Path on you , which would of allowed him to be on top of you to lay down the real hurt. Wll played nonetheless!

Probably isn’t the profession for you if you ever feel “trapped” into a certain utility on the Engineer , since ive begin this game in 2012 i’ve never once picked up nades for more than 30 mins lol because i know i have far better results with other kits/specs . What your problem is probably is , when thieves(or any other melee class in general) hop on you you’re having troubles peeling them off your back so they stealth stab harass stealth and repeat leaving you with a small windows of retaliating besides with lobbing nades around you. Read .Learn and React or expect to respawn when facing them..no AOE needed.

The refresh rate applied by our smoke bombs are laughable…i guess thats one of the biggest pet peeves i had with our class atm

Thief takes the cake baby and eat it too , throws it up shows it around and proceeds to swallow the cake once more . Initiative? Mash away!

If i go 30 in tools i want more damage not survivability , all of that is out the window when i chose to go zerker lol , the trait should be scrapped just like a few others. Heres my list of ones in need of buffing / scrapping.

Some of them are on this list because they are seemingly copy and pasted traits and a few should be simply merged.

P.S What in the world was i thinking by skipping over this trait?!

I think thieves should be altered into poison vendors.

ellesee.8297:

you’re level 20 crying for buffs.
next thread.

You say the same thing when a level 80 asks for buffs.

Why are you on these forums if you have nothing to contribute to discussion?

Our traitlines DO suck.

-One of our MAJOR GRANDMASTER traits is a MINOR ADEPT TRAIT for Rangers. 50% faster endurance regen IS NOT GRANDMASTER MATERIAL.
-Infused Precision is the same as Furious Speed (Warrior), but triggers half as often and lasts half as long.

All of our Grandmasters are pretty bad, but there are also many other traits (like Scope) that are even more useless.

He contributed more than you think he did , he made a valid point that the OP should be dismissed till they’re more experienced with the class…they clearly jumped the gun.

If you button mash on the Engineer (arguably any class) you’re not going to be successful at anything other than laying on your back and damaging your keyboard.

I do however , feel as though this thread is uneccessary ..clearly the opposition was upset at your resilience so they proceeded to flame to show their displeasure.

BlinkTwice.7932:

I feel like if this was such an easy button mash class It wouldnt be so rarely played in tourny.

^ There you go.

P.S Pre-nerf D/D Eles? Former grandmasters of button-mashing.

Just LOL , no wonder why they were infracted …surprised Anet didn’t delete their account sheesh.

foundling fox.9054:

You have to spend 25 points for 1% extra damage per boon? And so far as I’ve seen, it’s not like the Engineer is a class that generates a butt ton of boons.

We just got him to 50% on Blackgate. Methinks we’ll have the bragging rights for getting world first.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
—Sanctum of Rall (55%)

What? You’re going to have Jade Quarry guest over to your server and help you guys out? :P

Sounds legit .

Yeah whenever i fight one i usually say after engaging em “Oh they running X ok” No predictions to be had.

Seem like a certain percentage of you guys have no clue what a signet even is…

I truly wish it was “occasional”

I’m on BG.
Just add me and we can mingle somtime.

Or since you’re doing this in a prolonged period you might aswell wait for the better system to be implemented in a few months.

Engineer’s just aren’t any good in full DPS gear, unless you enjoy losing every 1vX and any 1v1 where the other guy sees you first.
With our relatively low damage and minimal survivability offered by our mechanic (as opposed to clones/stealth/evade of effective berseker classes) Engineers just won’t be anywhere near as effective without toughness.

In general regardless, DPS gear is bad in PvP.

If you want to run rifle, you want Knight’s armour & Weapons with Cavalier trinkets.
Some players like to include some vitality (soldiers) but vitality is not worth the stat points on Engineer or indeed most classes in my opinion. (Cleanse > Vitality. Vitality also reduces the efficacy of healing.)

With high toughness you should be able to run in zergs and be viable in higher skill level roaming.

In your build, you will be absolutely wrecked by CC, so be extremely careful with that. Engineers have some great traits to reduce that weakness, but it will cost DPS (well worth it in my opinion).

You will also struggle with Conditions, although if you intend to ZvZ and stick tight with the commander you probably won’t have anything to worry about there due to the cleanse spam.

Otherwise, good luck!

Question 1 : Do you even play GW2?
Question2 :If yes , you sure you posted this in the correct class forum?

Hahaha, send me a message in game. We will duel.
If you can beat me just once zerked up with no cleanse or CC breaker I will bake you a cake and mail it to America. Seriously.

You wouldn’t happen to be from SoS would you? Been loving wrecking those guys all week in WvW, they all run zerker! Hilarious.

Why would i not bring Uti Gogs? come on lets be serious

We deserve reliable non kit specs , a self warping device , and a full dps kit (chainsaw maybe?) …lets make it happen Captain.

Oh lets not forget reliable access to stability , sshhheeesshh.

Ideally getting hit in the face by a giant bolt of lightning should daze you 2s or stun you for 1…i’d love to be hit by this from opposing eles , its about time they get buffed into the meta…heck Necros and Warriors are sittin at the top looking down atm lol.

To all you people typing in 15 chars just simple hold spacebar down till you sure its over 15 spaces….

Thanks alot Wanze , i dropped 60g on one instantly.

He will grab Rifled Mods.

But but i dont waaaaannnaaaa!

Ahhhh been here , just got Dusk with 50 GS out of 1500 , sold all back and sold the inflated Dusk for a whopping 1150 gold…now thats luck

Wish you bad luck Titan!

That build is full glass.

Yes , ive heard that people also craft those to get a nice boost from 400

coffex.5196:

Considering the current implemented weapons, don’t you guys think too that the hammer would fit the engineer perfectly.

I can imagine a power based and steampunk themed melee weapon in the form of a hammer.

Imagine the skillset as something along these lines:

Skill #1 (3-hit chain)
Calibrating Blow 1/2sec
Hit foes infront of you to ready your systems.

Loaded Blow 1sec
Unload your charged hammer with a massive strike to the ground damaging foes around you.

Aftershock 1/4sec
Emit remaining force through the hammer-head’s nozzle accelerating it to the ground.

Animation would be a horizontal swing, followed by a charged hit to the ground (think autohit #3 of guardian hammer) and a very quick strike to the ground shortly after raising the hammer slightly.

It would punish interrupting the autochain like most other melee-weapons because the main damage comes from the last hits.

Skill #2
Staggered Drill 3/4sec 10sec CD
Activate 6 microrockets in your hammer shaft, forcing you forward with rapid succession and damaging foes in your path.

Range: 300
Number of Hits: 6

Skill #3
Explosive Smash 1sec 15sec CD
Equip hour hammer with explosives which detonate by impact damaging nearby foes.

Combo-finisher: Explosion

Skill #4 1/2sec 15sec CD
Static Tearing
Overload your hammer with a strong current. Dazing nearby foes and rip through their defense.

Vulnerability: 8 stacks for 10 seconds to nearby foes
Daze: 1 second to nearby foes

Skill #5
Greek Fire 3/4sec 25sec CD
Smash your saltpeter coated hammer into the ground, covering the area in flames. The initial explosion burns and blinds nearby foes. Foes within the area keep getting burned.

Radius: 120
Duration: 5seconds
Combo-field: Fire
Blind: 3 seconds
Burn (6 times): 1 second

Absolutely love it , out of all the hammer specs i seen i have to say this one seems quite thought out and logical in some fashion but the hardest part you have left is finding the correct spectrum of damage of each skill.

600g+ to complete all 3 Crafting Professions to 400.

FrownyClown.8402:

Yeah I got 5k bursted by a kit earlier

5k lol wth kind of dmg is that on a kit …if u would of said 15k then sure but i can hit little over 10k with pry bar alone…

Guys if history stays true (with what happened to Engi , Necro and Warrior ) you guys should expect some god tier buffs very soon lol , and abruptly some god tier nerfs

Oh wait…

Terrible build because its hybrid. Thank you for posting though.

There is a secret to them , however i shall not reveal it.

I don’t have a home
I have no food
I have no home so i have no clothing stored
I have no car
I have no money
Once again i have no money
I have no money so no films nor cable
I dont have cable like aforementioned
I have no money.

Poster: Why is your list so far off?

Hmmm it flew directly over my head…sorry
