Guild Wars 2

No one was abusing it in PVE. If you ever try another class in WvW you will se that tagging is way harder than on guardian. No shame in being angry for the nerf, I think they try to normalize things.

I know that no one asked for my opinion, but I have over 2500 hours of WvW in tier 1 EU and I love gliding. It gives you more options and a more diverse play style. Don’t get why people cry so much. If you don’t like it, don’t use it. No need to trait it on your character.

Engineer is not that popular in zerg build so don’t expect new builds. You will have to improvise and see how you can adapt or create builds based on your play-style. I have tested metabattle’s builds for wvw and both do seem to provide a good starting point. I don’t think you can go wrong with frontline scrapper and is not that expensive to try.

They said it had to be done because of some software limitations. It is not a biggie. Get over it.

Bish.8627:

I do like these builds, but lack of self swiftness is a deal breaker for me everytime.

No need as other party members are sharing theirs.

Rocknull.2986:

btw bud. you already have self regulating defense. I say drop elixir s all together and replace with slick shoes or something else all together. also since you are using finale salvo I would drop mass momentum for rapid regen to truly energize the build but thats just me. gg out there and keep up the good work!

I like double invulnerability because it lets you go aggressively in the other zerg or just have some fun baiting out some cooldowns when zergs are teasing each other. Slick shoes just got nerfed so sticking to S seems to be more viable now. Especially that it gives you stealth on demand.

For zerging I don’t like rapid regeneration as I feel it does not heal fast enough to matter and because of this I go mass momentum for the extra damage (at least 250 more power just from the 10%, not to mention the extra stacks of might). I feel it is more important to kill fast then try to over last through rapid regeneration.

Last night ran something along these lines – don’t remember exactly the food as it was some random stuff just to be something. Had a lot of fun and was surprised of the amount of punishment I was able to take (our blue tag was not very talkative on TS).

Had a lot of those moments when you feel that you single handedly tip the balance of the fight and because of your little silly combo (hammer 5,3,2) you got downed those 3-4 guys in that turnaround moment. Might be just my imagination but I love those moments.

Anyway – any feedback is welcomed.

Ardid.7203:

Everything points to viper. Search the forum using google, there is a post with a very detailed analysis of both condi stats.

care to link it for us?

At this point, any change suggested here would do really good to the specialization. I hope that they listen and that they will do something for one of the lowest player base profession.

8000 views and no red…

It would be nice if someone from Arena Net would acknowledge that they are aware of this bugs.

Victory or Death was a great mechanic in GW1 and I would not mind seeing it come back.

Good. 99% of WvW players dont care about OS rewards or kill credits.

Players should not be afraid of this change.

At the moment – 25 stacks @ 1500 condi power for 10 seconds is 29k damage over time for bleeds, 22k DOT for stationary torment, 44k DOT for moving torment and 4.4k confusion damage per skill.

You would be long dead before going over 25 stacks.

I have seen similar issues to my burning damage too. Would really want to know what is going on.

Immunity to any condition for any player in/near the keep is a bad mechanic. Make it tick for 75% damage or something like that. Plus this is not really necessary as lava has its own “burning” effect that is different from the burning condition.

Care to link it? Tried a full cleric build (+250 healing bloodlust thingy) and the healing per person was 400 or somthing like that. No where close to 1000.

From my experience in Gold League – bombs are better if you have a strong melee line, else you die so fast around your heavy armors. FT is safer and I use it not for melee/dps-ing. I use it for finishing enemies in down state fast (an always good for your zerg action) with ft #2, rifle #3,5,4 – to jump out. Even ft #1 AAs can do quite a lot of damage against a down state.

The biggest problem i see with bombs is that is quite hard to deliver the dps where your commander is asking as you need to be in less then melee range. The healing is a joke and everyone who says either way has never played full map zerg fights. But with bombs when you crit… it is a nice 3-4k damage

everything is fair in love and war

Spoke scrreen Aka flame turret over charge is a little bit bugged. As other said it only appears when other are near turret

If their rank is lower then Bronze – I don’t chase.

Have the same problem. Just got pact finisher and i cant use it ..

Kitta.3657:

STILL no dev response to this. Thanks a lot -_-
This finisher reset bug is highly annoying and affects everyone that pvp/wvw yet is being completely ignored. It’s not game breaking but it’s clearly not working as intended and as someone that payed for quite a lot of finishers it is frustrating.

I have 14 finishers….

It is so annoying.

Again the same problems in WvW (EBG and home BL). Again the disconnects. Ofc now i have to wait 30 min in queue for the chance to be disconnected again.

Lag in WvW then disconnect – you know how nice is to get disconnect on a tier 1 server? Yeah. 15-30 minutes Queue!

After that tried to do a teq, disconnected again. Now I cant even log in. Been trying anything i could think of in the last 19 minutes. Nothing worked. Usually i cant login and when i can it wont load and disconnect.

Good job Arenanet for convincing me that buy gems is not worth it if you cant even login in the $#^%#$^ game

BTW – wasn’t the september patch supose to fix all the lag?

Brief description of what you’re seeing: cant do anything. lagging so hard. Was roaming when i got hit by a lag spike – woke up 30 seconds later in the same place alive. Even my enemy could not kill me because of the rubber banding. Still having the same problem. Every skill activates 5+ seconds later. It is beyond unplayable.

My god. not it is worst! I’ve been able to walk from bravost to klovan in this twisted fronzen from lag word before it disconnected me. I think that is a 2 min walk. All this time internet working fine (ts, music, browser etc).

Same problems. 5+ second lag. It is unplayable.

Constant problems!

Same here with a 3 ms 100Mbps internet connection.

It happens to not give you 200 toughness if you dont have any +tooughness.

In WvW you usually have bloodlust so it works, but in pve you are lacking the added toughness of the trait.

Gaile – release us (EU players) from this torment!! Give us a time frame!

glock.6590 – what would an engineer be without some turrets, elixirs and kits?

Every engineer build has at least one of those. Does this makes us a kit-turret-elixir engineer? It does. Is this the core of our class. It is.

I get that glitch all the time for quite some time. Not having a ranger made me think it was working as intended.
\

dancingmonkey.4902 – OP was talking about the glitch rangers can do. If you replay the video, you will see he tries to push the rocket boots button a couple of times before going down. The glitch makes it impossible to use any skills during its duration. You are a sitting duck

Sorry to burst your bubbles, but you have quite a good coverage. Played a lot in the morning, in the afternoon (1-3 pm) or late night (3-6am). We hardly outnumbered you. You always seemed to have more blob then us. And even then you don’t fight us. You run inside tower and build ACs.

I’m talking about tournament time now. We all pulled all nighters to help gather points. We don’t have a night crew, prime time people are the night crew.

You definitely have numbers so you just need to organize a little better and this will make the match up more fun

How can you even get there?

In the mists it still seems to be bugged.

That is op now:)

no1 is doing ok damage now. With more range, more damage and more burning it would be op. Pick one.
no2 5s burning on a 4s skill? Sounds a little bit unbalanced. Personally I’m quite ok with the current flame blast status.

no5 That would be truly nice.

displayname.8315:

Why should my killing someone revive all the downed people around me? Makes no sense to me. I understand banners and pressing F that makes sense. Auto rez my group on 1 kill? Needs adjusted

Because you did not kill him. You just took away the 1st HP bar. The 2nd (the down state) it was still up.

Why punish players if you already won the fight? Down state is ok.

You should read the Engineer sub-forum, everybody is laughing we are so OP!!!

In T1 this is a non existent problem because of the extremely long queues ~ 50+ for borderlands and 100+ for eternal.

The same thing happened to me twice on land. RB seem to have some new glitch.

When you hit. Think like this: sigils are on your weapon so “On Hit” means when it hits. Some runes are proc-ing stuff when you get hit.

In early start I made an asura engineer. Hate it after only 1-2 days. Deleted it and made a charr. Win.

It has been my main ever since.

I dont find Napalm so bad. With FT #1 in a zergl, with just one channel (2.5 sec), you can get around 9600 damage back from retaliation.

And that is a huge SAVE! 90%+ more of the damage you invest … you get it back.

An you can do this every 2.5 seconds … or at least till you die.

Hope they fix them soon. I want to use my FT!

Seems that you get the 200 toughness if you have a guardian in party with the +150 trait. Or a birthday cake food.

It seems that it is bugged if you don’t have a toughness modifier.

Hope this helps in fixing the problem.

Just to note that in wvw if you have bloodlust buff – you get the 200 toughness. If your server does not have bloodlust you don’t get toughness .

Juggernaut and Deadly Mixture are both bugged for me.

Juggernaut does not apply the 200 toughness and deadly mixture show lowers damage in tooltips.

Unfortunately we are around 10 engineers playing this class and our calls for bug fixing will surely be buried in all this “lost my minis” threads. kitten !
