Guild Wars 2

As an Engineer, I was really disappointed with the patch. It seems like the Engineer class gets nerfed for no good reason at all and if you ask they won’t even answer why. Funny thing all I wanted was them to fix some bugs like Elixer S with the Fast acting elixer trait.

Probably Mesmer followed by Guardian. Thief is great on 8v8 though.

I’ve also been trying to use tool kit and I think I found a way though i admit it looks stupid at first.

Here is the build:

Basically it relies on power and retaliation for damage.

I somewhat agree. Stability is just really a very useful tool to have in this game. That’s why i was disappointed by the flamethrower engie nerf.

Why the hell would you have bomb kit in your build just for big ol bomb? You can put something there that will actually synchronize with your trait set up. The rocket boots would be much stronger since burns stack duration, and a range spec wants a gap opener. Elixir U would also be an amazing choice since the reduction in elixir CD effects it, and the quickness will allow you to stack bleeds faster on your opener as well as remove a condition due to cleaning formula.

The bomb kit is actually pretty good because of the different conditions you can apply with it. Same with grenades.

Also, I don’t know if people know this, but you can use bombs and grenades with elixir s. Try it. Not only can you attack while in Elixir S form but both the bombs and the grenades cool down actually reset.

As an Engineer i got no problems with thieves or mesmers. Play smart and they die easly.

Please tell me what you do, exactly. I am an Engineer as well, and would like to learn. Please be specific.

Try a condition build with bombs or grenades. Have no problems with thieves. Mesmers will always pose a threat but I find I have better success with this type of play style than others.

I think the engineer is mid-to-high tier depending on the build and player. The class is versatile in that it can do most roles pretty well. The thing really is to find a build that you’re comfortable with because, coming from playing guardian, I felt that the engineer had lots of options and can be overwhelming at times. Overall I thinks the class is just really solid in PVE, WvWvW and PVP.
