Could you please make the weapons a bit bigger on Asura? The endgame revolves heavily on farming better looking gear, but I can barely see my Asura’s weapon.
The greatswords are so tiny, I have a feeling I’m going to be super disappointed once I finally manage to get Twilight.
Earlier today it was mentioned on Twitter that Asura and Charr are the least played races. I feel like this is definitely one of the reasons why people don’t play Asura that much. I love everything about my asura, but the weapons are just disappointing.
The height difference between the biggest Asura and the smallest Sylvari/Human really isn’t that big, but for some reasons the asura weapons are much smaller.
Hey guys, I made a similar thread in the suggestion forums. I think that’s a better place to discuss this if we really want them to change anything about the weapon size.
way-way too tiny, cannot properly enjoy scythe on necromancers staff, asura deserve huge weapons, such unproportious weapons would fit their mentality, floating city style and big golems.
and now, this is how I feel when my Asura is holding his massive 2 handed hammer
lol It’s true. I have an amazing shortbow. Doesn’t show its amazingness on my tiny body. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE MY TRENCHCOAT BLOCKS EVERYTHING, BECAUSE I HAVE MEDIUM ARMOR, AND EITHER I GO NUDE ON TOP OR TRENCH IT.
The last facial choice for female Asura is the exact same model that Zojja has. As for the goggles she wears its the head piece for the T3 light cultural armor.
You can also make yourself look exactly like Eir. Her face model is available as a choice for Norn as well as her tattoo style, hair, and her armor is the T3 medium armor for females. Those are the only two members of Destiny’s Edge who you can make yourself look like. Logan, Rytlock, and Caithe’s facial models are all unique.
Zojja has a lighter “tan” coloring to her skin. I’d try the Peach or Cream color in the skin options menu. She doesn’t have a “belly” she’s a bit taller than the shortest Asura model and she has the last body type on the top row of the “body section”. You won’t be able to get it exact but you can get it pretty darn close!
I am fairly sure that it’s impossible to create exact “clones” of the Destiny’s Edge members during character creation. And for good reason. These characters need to stand out from everyone else.
Hello, I would like to ask you if you possibly know which slides I would need to choose to create a character that looks like a Zojja.
I have encountered a few problems:
1. skin colour – seems like it is a custom skin colour made for Zojja, I’m not sure about that but after few tests I cannot fit her brown tone
2. body size, because of t3 cultural it is difficult to tell if she has a belly or not
in fact I would appreciate if developer/graphic guy would say something about it, or even better provide us with exact slide options that are requires to create a clone of Zojja, size, face slides, eye colour etc. I would like to make a few screenshots and maybe make a wallpaper for myself or order somebodt to do it for me ( :P ) and I simply met a brick wall.
Flamethrower is good for waving around in the middle of a zerg fight and spreading the damagey love around. Elixir gun is very handy for chasing down fleeing enemies. Grenades are excellent for area denial when attacking a keep – pick a stretch of wall and bombard it and the defenders will stay clear, or if they’re very stupid and/or slow they’ll die. Dropping a supply crate on the head of some poor shmoe who’s wandered into your grenade kill-zone complements this tactic beautifully.
And yes, if you’re traited for permanent swiftness then engineers are indeed super at running supplies to build and repair stuff. You know, acting like combat engineers

to be fair, he almost certainly has a 3 orb bonus in that vid.
But yeah, grenade carpet bombing, and elixir R self rez are engis two main contributions.
Raw damage in open field, no one else comes close.
In terms if actual unique game changing though.. Could be just mesmers, but man. Zerkers killing seige out of line of sight, portals, feedback winning team fights, reflecting seige, daggerstorms, etc. null field removing stability, and other boons. massive aoe confuse, temporal curtain aoe pull, throw off cliff.. and reflect..
Feeling useful moving from my engi to mesmer alt. Mesmer changes the face of the battlefield. engi just does damage honestly.
Am playing elixir gun atm, giving it a fair shake. its pretty good. the heal is unlimited target.
I agree, but other probably won’t, while others will…
I actually think lots of kits are kinda useless/just for fun?.
But still, a whole bunch of people will show up who will tell you which 1000 things you’ll have to do to not be useless… They say…

Flamethrower: Great for scaring the kitten out of people and zergs when they see that for the first time. But when they realize all it does is miss miss miss miss is when you’re in trouble. Only use I’ve found for it is during door defense by standing on the other side and burning those hammering at the door. But with how people have become more experienced in bursting down doors quicker, it situation becomes way less frequent.
Grenades: Perhaps good for exchanging fire during close range siege whether you’re the attacker or defender. But good luck in hitting moving, juking and dodging targets out in the field.
Bombs: Good for… running away?
Turrets: Perhaps useful at chokepoints. But not so useful with their long cooldown when you’re always moving about.
Medkit: Actually really good for survivability out in the field.
Medical Turret: Only useful for defending keeps.
Elixir Gun: I’m not really sure what to make of it yet.
So really. Engineers have the survivability nailed down. They are typically harder to kill than most other professions. But where is the damage? Are we to rely on rifle or pistols for that?
Ya, seriously worthless. i think I may have seen them go off one or two times, but they also do pityful damage, so I just think of them as decoration. Look! It’s something engineery!
If I got a grenade barrage centered on myself instead, that would be awesome.
I’d be fine if they were just timed, or if they were included in your number 3 downed ability- so when you explode all your Reserve Mines went off also. As they stand at the moment they just seem to do nothing. I have Literally never noticed them go off.
they do seriously need to make these mines and the other mine abilities not have so much distance between them. I’ve noticed on many occasions where they just never explode as for example the giant champion troll actually graphically steps on them and never sets them off. Dunno how many times I’ve see that kind of thing. And they are absolutely useless underwater, we need underwater versions like barrels or spherical mines that cause shockwaves when they explode. (like they use against subs)
Is it just me or are ‘Reserve Mines’ Useless. They’re the 3rd Talent along the Explosives Talent Tree (or second ‘fixed’ Talent if you will).
When they activate they mines just sit there flashing, I have never seen them go off! Am I missing something, its there some special way to trigger them? At the moment they just seem like window dressing.
Excuse me? Rifles lack main hand damage? You are aware that engineers are capable of dropping 12k crits with a rifle build. also, kits don’t scale with stats. Their damage is naturally inferior unless it’s traited grenades.
Seriously.
That 1) complaint isn’t even gameplay-changing. It’s an aesthetic that you personally don’t agree on.
Warrior’s rifle skills are terrible. They lack the control that Engineer skills have, as well as the versatility. If you want a bland, direct-damage ranged weapon then you should be playing a warrior.
The problem with Engi isn’t that we can’t DPS, because we can. The cookie cutter nadegineers are proof of that.
In my opinion the problem is that we have SO many options and so few of them seem viable. In some cases because the traits that are supposed to effect them don’t, or in other cases simply because things are skewed or designed poorly. I’m hoping that this months update is going to address some of the pre-beta bugs we’ve had. If not, hey I’ve got a war on the back burner just like 90% of the rest of the players of this game. Greatsword and Sigils at the ready. >.>
Well, we are just no dps class. It might Anet gives us a buff, but other engineers think we are overpowered an think we will be nerfed! Who knows?
For one this class is very very unique compared to any mmo i have played or heard about and will take some time for the community to respect it. NO dps though is not true when specced right the dps is very high with party buffs making a good engineer highly useful.
Alot of our skills are broken but our class is not broken.
It’s true. I have an amazing shortbow. Doesn’t show its amazingness on my tiny body. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE MY TRENCHCOAT BLOCKS EVERYTHING, BECAUSE I HAVE MEDIUM ARMOR, AND EITHER I GO NUDE ON TOP OR TRENCH IT.
