Rank 30 WvW Required for Gift of Battle Grind

Stuff like this only serves to alienate more people and I see it as another bad move considering the quarterly numbers keep dropping.

Where do you see these quarterly numbers?

Anyway, I find this change mostly unnecessary. It’s no big deal. I honestly don’t care if it’s there or not. Getting to rank 30 is easy and something you will hit naturally if you just map out WvW. Anyone who isn’t cheating the system somehow will hit rank 30 naturally.

The change is easy, easy, easy to do. Hitting rank 30 is practically effortless as long as your playing WvW.

If you hate WvW, tough luck. You don’t deserve a Legendary if you can’t even play to a minimum acceptable level in WvW.

As a solo roamer spending more than 1.000 hours in WvW i just hit rank 30 2 weeks ago. I get it if you zerg mindlessly following commanders you can rank up fast. Some of us don’t want to be forced into running with 50+ players to blast finisher -> auto attack the other 50+ players.

Well guess i’ll be buying my next legendary. Please a-net make us zerg more, its not like WvW is 1 big blob already.

I find that hard to believe. What exactly were you doing for those 1000 hours? Getting instagibbed by anyone you came across? You get WvW XP for capping camps, sentries, killing guards and mercs, and killing players. These are the activities a Roamer typically does. Especially the last one.

If you weren’t able to achieve enough WvW XP to hit rank 30 well before your 1000 hours, then you were doing something really, really wrong.

Either you’re badly exaggerating, lying, or incompetent.

Actually I stream my gameplay daily for 100+ viewers I am rank 33 on my main class.

How do you handle ranged kiters (e.g. phantasm mesmers) that are actually capable of dodging magnet?

Do you play this build in group scenarios as well? Bomb kit always seems a bit suicidal to me compared to grenades.

You hide your magnet in your skills or walls, you can pre-cast behind a wall and they won’t see the animation or use it when your big bomb just exploded. If do end up being kited use your environment make them come to you.

The build allows you to support your teammates in multiple ways however rocket boots, is more of a solo roaming skill, if you wanted to move with a group I would suggest getting elixer gun for more support.

What the bomb kit allows you to do is get stable aoe stealth, blinding field (together with stealth awesome to ress your buddies), good way to keep your opponents of your if they do decide to come in the fields they will suffer a lot of dmg, giving you the oppurtunity to deal damage or buy time for your heals etc..

Thank you for the welcome back messages<3 and the feedback concerning video idea’s.

Much love <3 I am willing to test out builds outside my own build, however with sets like dire, I have a huge grudge against, because I personally feel vitality is a useless stat when it comes to pvp. What vitality allows you to do is survive the initial burst, but it takes much longer to heal up again. Since engineers start with high base health, I don’t feel its necessary to have and I rather go for something that would help me mitigate damage and/or help me kill my opponent faster. With the lack of precision you will lose the burning and bonus damage from crit’s. I can see why you would use the pistol pistol with dire, since you lack the burning, however don’t you feel that you lose a lot of survivability and utility by not using shield? Would love to hear your opinion on that.

Yeah I feel the same about the loss of shield but the 2 most active YouTube roaming engineers “wolfineer” runs dire armor no shield and “prozap” runs dire armor with shield. Their argument is that rabid accessories make up for the loss of precision. Obviously perplexity build are more effective but I’d just like to see you run any build without it because of the extra skill/effort that is needed.

I have just been lazy in chaning my runes, I haven’t touched my armor yet since I came back. Now Perplexity works well with the playstyle I play, which is to counter my enemies offensive push with confusion, to force them back into the defensive. Undead is the rune I would suggest next to perplexity. I do feel that they need to nerf the stacks a bit more from perplexity. Losing the shield = Losing knockback, ranged reflect, blast finisher, possible 2 second daze, block and stun on melee range… just for extra burning and cripple/immobilze? It makes no sense to me.

Welcome back!!!!!!!!

Can we have more infiltrator videos pleeeeeeeeeeze?!?!?!?! Those are too funny.

Will try to do so! Infiltrator videos ussually happen live on stream, they are not planned, but I can put some extra effort into attempting it.

Good to see the best engineer has returned!

Maybe do vids using different builds thoroughly analyzing and testing them instead of using the standard perplexity build. One build I’d like to see you try is the dire set up with pistol/pistol?

I would like to see things ive never really done or seen on an engi before, outnumbered vid on a lvl 20 engi and well just generally owning people with the most obscure builds you can think off, you know something fresh and exciting, we’ve see and done all those outnumbered vids, so i would love for a streamer try something new and refreshing!

One of my few early videos I had a couple 1 vs X with my low level engi with green armor. Think it is a good idea, see how far we get with that. I know it is possible, the problem with low level is you don’t have the right stat combinations. So that is going to be interesting.

I’ll try to see if i can play around with my build so we can have some more crazy stuff going on.

non nade effective builds

I haven’t used nades in a long while, bomb has just brought in a lot more utility. Especially the stealth made a massive difference.

welcome back koroshi, can’t think of anything in particular that I’d like to see maybe some comedy

Thank you! <3

Welcome back!

I’d like to see a full (ascended) celestial grenade + bomb roamer.

Thank you <3 I was thinking about setting up celestial set, don’t think I will be able to do it anytime soon, especially the ascended part. I have always used exotic pieces, since I hardly pve or pay attention to dailies., + i will need to figure out how to afford the divinity runes, those things are kitten expensive haha.

I really would like to see builds different than nades or bombs, I really enjoy the engineer but I hate those explosive gameplay.

I have a few ideas for non-explosive builds, a few trollish ones.

This will certainly get patched next patch, but I don’t think it is as big a problem right now as you make it out to be. Most of the people you beat the tar out of, you would likely have beat the tar out of without the 22 stacks of confusion.

I just took some random footage from the stream, not trying to show skill or anything. Just showing how easy it is to apply the confusion.

This needs to be adressed. It is just ridiculous how strong it is and it needs to be changed. I expected changes in the last patch, but nothing happened so I just took some random footage from my stream and put it in a video. To show you how easy it is to stack up the confusion coming from the interuption bonus of the rune set.

The broken part of the rune is each interrupt adds 5 stacks of confusion for 10 seconds duration without internal cooldown, which allows you to stack 25 confusion without too much effort.

WWW = zerg?

I will keep looking, but, just in case, could someone set my expectations straight on that? Suppose I am roaming, small server, solo = no team. How many 1v1 / 1v2-4 fights would be reasonable to expect to get, on average? One in an hour? Three? Enough to fight 75% of the time? I know the answer is “every day is different”, but what’s it like on average? How many fights are you getting?

I solo roam/small group roam and never zerg. If you are prepared and know your escape routes it is a lot of fun. I get enough pvp during an hour to statisfy my needs, I stream it ussually daily if you are interested to check it out. @twitch.tv/sir_koroshi . You can also do crazy stuff like trying to solo cap towers/small group tower captures, here is a video for example that I had streamed yesterday:

we capped the tower with 3-4, one of us actually dc’ed mid capture.

Thanks for the awesome comments <3 Much love.

lol nicely done. I would have to say Elixir Gun would have been better in that situation for the extra heals and the consistent weakness on the tower champion. The extra damage from the FT was nice, however the knockback was useless and nearly 100% uptime on Weakness is a lot better than a blind every 20 seconds.

- Oresan

Thinking about it afterwards this might just be the right pick. I was hoping the knockback would be more effective, but the immunity was not helping at all. I will give it a try on the next tower capture and compare it to the flamethrower. The stunbreak would help loads on the disables the boss constantly puts out.

This is the best video. Now I want to log in and play my Engineer. Well done!

Awesome duel Engi vs Engi.

in Engineer

Posted by: koroshi.2658

koroshi.2658

So how would you sum up the difference needed for builds in PvP vs WvW? I’ve never done PvP — but I’ve run probably a 1,000 hours in WvW.

In WvW, most of my 1 vs 1, 1 vs 2 encounters last about 30 seconds or less. I’m either soloing or chasing someone who breaks off from the main battle. I find that you have to apply an insane amount of damage and bring down your opponent quickly, or you may draw a crowd of enemies that will out-number you (and you’re already probably in a damaged state).

In TPVP I have had to set up my build, more defense and stronger in node fighting. My role right now is Node defender/Far point dueler (So moving towards the enemy closest point and decapping it, while taking care of 1 or 2 enemies)/roamer.

My main objective is backcapping, if they put too much pressure on my team, I help them out where needed. Ussually you will find me going for the far point, to put pressure on the enemy so they have to call more players to their home point = my team gets easier time at other points.

Awesome duel Engi vs Engi.

Hardest thief fight

in Engineer

Posted by: koroshi.2658

koroshi.2658

When I have casual duels, we usually just wait until all skills are off cooldown, so everything can be used in every match. I can understand why they wouldn’t want that in the tournament, but that was a really unfair way to manage it.

In duels I avoid using supply crate, I feel it gives me massive advantage. I will use it in real pvp no problem, but i practise without using it. Just because of the long cooldown.

It was also a bit weird that there were no starting positions. He started the third match right at your gate, which gave him a significant positional advantage. There should have been some sort of neutral start at least. Was there even a moderator for this? I didn’t hear anyone saying or see anyone typing “Go” or anything like that.

There were mods, but mainly to preview or make decision if the match was going to draw, but nothing during the fight. The winner gets the advantage. It was their first duel tourney and I think they did a good job, even if the rules weren’t too great. We had almost 1k viewers in total in twitch on the different tourney streams, great commentary from teldo + I had loads of fun and loved the pressure of training against a new type of enemy for me.

Maybe if they had said the thief can only use basilisk venom once or twice per round that would have made it more balanced, since they could still use theirs more frequently than yours, but still have a similar restriction that you face to even out the playing field. But I doubt that would fly well with thief players. Or maybe they could have given you two uses for the tournament to mimic the longer cooldown without completely screwing you over.

Fully agree! The only reason I went stun breaker is because I knew he had infinite elites, that thought process made me lose the battle, I honestly think I would have stood a better chance if I did use my original build.

PS: Uploaded round 2 losers bracket (edited the main post), Round 3 which should be really nice it is Engi vs Engi and a pretty good one aswell haha!

Intrestring to watch Koroshi, but there is some thing I would like to get explained:

First, why was he allowed to spam his elite skile to hearts content, and you only was allowed to use it once? that’s hardly fair? <.<

Second, why did you pick Elixir R in a 1vs1 situation vs a Thief? Don’t get me wrong on this one, Elixir R, Toss in special, is an amazing tool, in speical when doing teamplay! But in a 1vs1 situation like a duel, there is, at least in my humble openion, so far better options you could have went with that would give you more control over the fight, here I’m thinking:

Net Turret for CC reasons, it helps a ton vs those fast moving S/D Thief’s, and one stun can be all you need to kill them.

ELixir Gun: I have seen you use it, and your good at it :P It’s more healing power + another blast finisher and gap Closer, it really good for a 1vs1 situation where the only stun he got is his Elite, and S/D simply don’t burst as much as the god old D/P does, so you can take a little beating just fine :P

Heck, I personal would have run with Rocket Boot for the Rocket Kick, the extra burning would have helpt a lot on the situation, and i might actually agree on the off hand pistol probaly would have been better ofr this encounter, because it was mostly a race for damage that duel!

a last option that actually can destory that kind of Thief as well when used correctly, and also neating you another Blast Finisher, is actually Throw Mine, the Knock back gives you the ability to take control over a little area makes, hich makes it quite an amazing tool, and it will rip of some of the boons he try get/steal as a bonus! =)

So yeah, right, why did you end up picking Elixir R? I’m Curious about that one!

And yes, he was indeed using 6x Rune of Lyssa :P

Also, I can see you are a little bit to Trigger Happy with your Prybar after Magnet, using the skill even when you miss with the magnet, because you are to used to click it right after! I tend to do that a lot as well if I don’t focus a lot on it! You gotta save dat Prybar! It’s to improtant to miss!

I didn’t fully agree with the tourney rules, especially with allowing the thief to have infinite elites while I was just limited to one. I still had a nice experience fought high ranking players, forced me to go in training to learn about very experienced s/d thieves.

On the elixer R:
It was pressure. I had no experience fighting s/d thieves at all until the 2 hours before with help from jumper. I went on builds that I wasn’t comfortable with. Honestly it was probably the biggest mistake in that match, getting elixer R. I think if I used my original build that works for me, flamethrower, bomb kit and tool kit! I would have been able to apply so much more pressure, especially the blind/flame wall as defensive skills, the extra knockback to keep him down or the incendiary ammo that does crazy amount of burning dmg on 3 shots.

On the pry bar part, I remind myself every day to stop using it asap! Especially with the laggy pulls sometimes where they are not on the spot where you see them, but still make the mistake daily. (+ put the toolbelt “throw wrench” in my rotation)

Nice video Koroshi. Its so interesting that you’ve posted this because I was going to actually ask you about fighting a S/D thief. More from a WvW perspective though. Now Jumper has a different playstyle than the way you play your S/D thief. And I’d imagine thats because playing a thief in sPvP is different than WvW.

I don’t think this thief build would be viable in WvW, however I would love to try it out it looks like so much fun.

And I was going to ask you if you could duel yourself on your thief — how would you do it? Haha. Because there’s a S/D thief I’ve been dueling recently that just tears me up everytime. We did several duels. And out of about 10 duels or more. I think I won twice.

Honestly on my thief skill level and build vs this engi, I’d have to be honest.. I would destroy my thief (Of course we could never know, I might be able to pressure myself a lot especially with the constant dazes). The reason this guy was able to pressure me this much was, because of 2 things:

- Loads of condi removal
- Insane amount of evades

I think if I had a bit more practise, I would be able to put a better fight and the elixer r actually weakened me here.. I think the FT would have been much better as a defensive/offensive weapon.

One thing I did do to adjust to him was like Velron suggested — swapping shield for dual pistols. Mainly because the stun of the shield didnt make a difference because he’d just shadow return out of the stun immediately very much like Jumper did with you. Now normally the downside of that swap was losing the #4 ability to counter refuge. But this thief was really good and he never used refuge near me. So getting to the refuge to try and knock him out of it was futile. But when I switched to dual pistols he saw the difference and even commented on how much the burns really hurt. Which again would compliment Velron’s suggestion.

I think it could have helped me a lot, but at the same time that means I would have lost a blast finisher aswell + I was using the 5th shield skill with the engi trick.. so apply 5th shield and quickly start shooting which allows you to attack while still have the shield stun ready for when he strikes.

I still struggle with him though, because he adjusted too haha. But he plays a lot different than Jumper does. Jumper is way more aggressive and puts constant pressure. But perhaps I’ll switch to bombs instead of grenades. Maybe that will help. I see it worked pretty well for you.

The thing that ultimately wrecks me when fighting a good S/D thief in WvW is the daze. I’m just failing hard at avoiding it. He zips in, dazes me, gets some damage in and then zips out before I can really attack.

For a non-evade build that gives you some time to move, I could suggest moving towards his shadow step location. It will shorten his escape and it will allow you to attack him more often.

Second round vs rank 49 warrior:

I have had no practise against a good s/d thief until 2 hours before the tourney thanks to loljumper <3<3

I think the fight went pretty good on my part, did all I could do. Got too greedy sometimes when he got low health and in the third fight I did lose my concentration started making mistakes.

You was very easy to understand, loud and clear when talking.

A new player to the game or the Engineer class will for sure get some good tips from using 4 min listning to that! I also enjoyed you did talk abit about the pro’s and con’s with Blasting or picking it up! So all in all good work!

Thanks for the feedback <3 This guide was made for new players to fit into my written guide just to show it vissually + I was getting this question almost every day on the stream. It makes me very happy to hear that did like the way I was talking in the video, it took me way too many edits haha.

@Panhuramix
You can make it instant pretty much all ways make it instant, by pressing your Healing Turret skill, followed by spamming the button, which will make the overcharge happen as soon as you plant the turret.
If you fail to do that, then there will be a 3 second delay, until the next “overcharge will now be activated” animation will happen, it does that on a regular 3 second basic, when it gives it’s AoE regen if I’m not wrong!

Oh I didn’t know that! Haha you learn something new every day. I am used to spamming the button.

Just two quck questions about your build…

1) Do you think Automated response is useful? I never liked it, also because its working has never been clear.

2) What about slotting protection in Alchemy? It could help your survivability a lot.

And it always amazes me how flexible and efficient engineer p/s Rabid builds can be.XD

1. -This trait does not remove conditions once your health falls below 25%, and existing conditions will continue to cause damage.
-However, new conditions will not be applied once your health is below 25%.

Works perfect against condi based bunker rangers, love when they do zero damage when I am at 25%- health.

2. I must have overlooked that skill, looks pretty good to me. Will give it a try in the future.

Thank you very much for the positive comments <3

Hey Koroshi, I love watching your stream. Love it when you explain everything you do, you are so calm in the heat of battle. Just one thing, why don’t you put your gear and traits on a site like www.gw2skills.net (my favourite), should save some time from making those pictures, and easier for us to see.

Another tip with Static Shield is that you can go into any of your kits and keep putting pressure while blocking.

Keep it up.

Awesome thanks for that link, I will try to get one up soon. I mainly used the screenshots so everyone could see the names of the armor, if they were interested in taking over some of the looks.

On the tip with the shield, I was actually thinking of adding it, but the reason why I didn’t was because I felt that the daze was superior to the other skills. I might just add an extra note that you are able to switch to other kits.

Hello everyone,

I recently started playing engineer and fell in love with the class. I got asked quite a lot to create a guide for engi. So here is my first attempt. I have no idea how to use this forum, so I will be leaving a link to my own forum.

Haha, awesome guys. Appreciate the positive feedback <3

I am actually thinking about removing the grenades completely in my build.. but not certain yet what I will go for. It probably will be bomb kit for the extra confusion.

The title is part of the joke, you guys took it way too serious. Was meant towards the perma stealth with cnd chaining. Got so much hate for that. Have fun for a day ^^ Anyone could see they weren’t that organized, a commander without toughness? Cnd hitting for 4,5k…

This will get thieves nerfed again.
