Guild Wars 2

My highest level character is currently 43, and he’s an engineer. I love the class, love its unique feel and love the game but everything I’ve been reading on these and other forums suggests that the engineer as a class is lost and has no real purpose, doesn’t really bring anything to the table etc. I’m aware of its “jack-of-all trades” feel, but what I read is pretty depressing even given that fact.

I’m at the point in PvE leveling, as well, where I’m starting to watch warriors (literally) spin around in circles through 3 or 4 mobs and mow them down, while I need to carefully battle plan for every situation, pulling 1 at a time and have to expend significant effort evading and being tactical if I want to succeed in a difficult situation (which I love doing, but it gets discouraging when other classes make it look so easy).

I’m also saving WvW and other pvp for 80 when I can really sink my teeth into it, so I have no idea how the class performs in that regard.

Basically, from what I’ve read and observed, my class of choice seems to be pretty futile right now. Should I consider a change and quit while I’m ahead?
