Guild Wars 2

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

What exactly is killing you? You should be able to one-shot anything Vet level or lower and Champs are going to give anyone grief regardless of their gear spec, unless you literally spec full-regen no-damage TVH gear and just AFK-auto-attack champs for two hours each.

Example would be the two Veteran Inquest Assassins you have to solo mid way into Fallen Hopes, or just most of the fights in Fallen Hopes. It was basically throwing myself against them, dieing 3 or 4 times, till hey finally died. However it must have been my build as I have been trying out these ones suggested here and the dieing has stopped. I’m not one shotting anything but I’m not dieing either so I call it a win.

Thank for the replys everyone, looks like I have some builds to test out to see what meshes with me.

Question: Right now I’m in Berserker’s armor & jewelry (exotics and some ascended) is this what I should be in, or is this what maybe be the cause of my grief?

Copy & Paste from other thread I put in the wrong place.

So I have 4 80s. A Mesmer, Thief, Engineer, and Guardian. I really want to stick with one as I am going broke trying to gear them all, and I really want that one to be my engineer as he was my first and I just really like the concept…problem is…I suck. So maybe you great ladies and gents of the forums can give me a hand, I’m looking for a solid build built around soloing, I can find all kinda for dungeon PvE, WvWvW, & PvP. All I am doing right now is exploration, achievements, the world boss circuit, and soloing story line stuff. So please oh please help me out with something that can help me not die 10+ times during this seasons story instances. Dual pistols would be great, would rather stay away form heavy kit use, and gear suggestions. Thank you all.

To address the points made by another user in the previous thread:
1. Would probably have better luck in engineer forum: Made thread in engineer forums
2. You can get badges from Dungeons/PvP for cheaper gear costs: I know I can get token from PvP and Dungeons for armor…I don’t want to PvP or do Dungeons so I pay the gold cost to craft (Engineer is in crafted Exotics & others in crafted rares)
3. If you don’t use kits as an engineer you’ll get wrecked: Yeah…problem is I get wrecked with kits anyways

I’m not angry at the patches, I still enjoy playing GW2, & I honestly haven’t seen the armor skins as the only time the gem store is open is the transition to one of the trading post tabs. I simply have never supported cash shops & I never will. Nothing A Net can or will ever do will change that, period.

@Awesome the Engineer is kinda stuck in the Straits right now, plus never was really into him not sure if it is a play style or something else, he was just my first guy so I took him to 80, the Guardian’s inventory is such a mess it is more of just needing to get over it and taking the time to sort through it to empty it out.

@AcidicVision I tried the Mesmer, and yeah at 6am, it really isn’t for me. Sounds like the Thief has some survivability, I may look at that.

I should have added, I like melee but am not opposed to ranged.

Edited for Spelling.

ADDTLDR: Looking for a profession that can solo most non group mandated PvE content during the hour I play in off peak hours.

I will try to be as specific as possible in what I am looking for.

I have a 80 Engineer already and a 47 Guardian.

I mainly play for about an hour in the morning before starting my day, and it has increasingly become harder and harder to do things like Dynamic Events as the populations during that time seem to be dwindling in the zones (probably plenty in LA looking for FotM). So I am looking for a class that I can get the most bang for my buck sort to speak during my hour of play. I’m not big into PvP though I enjoyed the little of WvWvW I got to experience playing my Engineer the weekend I was sick. Dungeons are a nice idea but once again I play for about an hour on off peak times so finding one and then getting it done all in 60min not really an option most the time. So please help me out and suggest something I can solo most/all non group DEs and Zones with. Would like something that is fun to level up with and not something that is “great for farming once you get to 80”, I prefer the journey more then that destination, just having a hard time enjoying the journey recently.
