Saying egi’s are no good in large groups is rubbish. We apply conditions to groups and have you ever used a flamethrower? I run down the sides of zergs causing massive aoe damage and setting you all on fire while adding bleeds and weakness and that is just from the auto attack, engi’s also have tons of ways to make combo fields, and if I get into trouble in my forward position I can shrink and get back to safety you can’t CC me if my 3 second invulnerability isn’t enough to get me to safety and you get me down to 25% health a trait gives me another 3 seconds of invulnerability. I also have 3 different aoe group cleanse abilities on my bar and can apply that cure conditions and give boons to allies. I don’t run nades or bombs but I have seen tank bomber engi’s vids where they cause a massive amount of aoe damage, If you haven’t played a class maybe you should stop speculating about what it can or can’t do.
The reason I love engi so much is that it has such good all round abilities, it’s not stuck in a role half as much as many other classes and is amazing at tower defence, solo roaming, small groups and large zergs.

If you consistently clear all the maps you’ll end up with a lot of transmutation stones, that’s all I can say since I don’t really catch your meaning. ><

About the underwater ground skills. When you use them it flips your skill to a secondary detonate. So for example if you want to toss elixir b underwater just hit it twice really quick. Pretty sure that goes the same for everything else underwater. Not ideal but has helped me quite a bit.
Personal Battering Ram; Improves tougness passive? (I was actually thinking of something slightly different from the normal passives where the Ram would activate if you take damage more than 10% of your maximum health) and it knocks back 3 people not 1.
I like where Dirame is going with this.
Passives that make sense. It would be nice however to also get a small stat boost with the Gadgets.
Goggles→ Prescision
Mines→ Power
etc.
I’ve always wanted a Weapon + Gadget only build. No reason to pick them up so far.
Just thinking about these upcoming buffs to signets some other classes are getting, and then hearing there’s nothing yet for Gadgets, had me wondering “why not just make Gadgets more like Signets?”
Gadgets could use a buff and the CD reduction that signets might be getting could be a good start. And with the nerf to elixir S coming, we could use some more options for disengaging a fight. Rocket Boots and Slick Shoes would be ideal with the right tweaks, and maybe adding a passive effect like signets would make them worthwhile enough to include in a build?
Thoughts?

I’ve stayed at this party entirely too long
I posted about this a couple weeks back. Make the ranks display somehow or make whatever rank you have a selectable title. Easy enough solution. 100% agree that your allies should be able to see it.
I really love the engineer. but If you want us to be a mid range class you had better do another buff to the flamethrower, i posted a modest suggestion thread on this myself a week or so ago. Eg also. I know they where recently buffed, but its still insufficient.
Right now, 90% of pvp engy builds revolve around greande, which additimately is most effective at mid range.
You said, in open chat, a horribly offensive and racist comment. You might recall, the comment about hating a certain race?
Your suspension was not an error. You were not suspended because someone reported you, but because you said what you said. Your suspension was entirely appropriate. No you may not speak with me, because there is nothing for us to speak about.
Serve your time out, and never, ever, ever spew racist talk in the game.
I hardly think it appropriate for the lesser species to be allowed within our prestigious college halls. The subcranial matter of these gargantuan endotherms is further diminished by sheer resource allocation need for powering such lumbering hulks. I’ve seen better IQ results from skritt subjects than I have Norn. Humans are clever but far too juvenile to comprehend the inner workings of the Eternal Alchemy, and I am not entirely convinced yet that Sylvari HAVE brains.
No, no, and no again! You shall not dirty our halls with the collective ineptitude that is the surface dwellers!

I’m pretty sure the only way to tell with an asura is to kick it and see what sort of noise it makes. Charr are easy by comparison, you can always see the tails.
Yes, there was a second edition, but I sort of… informed Tumblr and GW2RP and forgot that these official forums existed.
Anyway. If there’s anything you ever wanted to know about asura, it’s probably in here. It’s a fully canonical, fully referenced guide, and all of the information contained within comes from either canon sources (novels, short stories), interviews with developers or the game itself (if so, I’ve provided screenshots).
Here are some additional tools for you.

Hahaha Ive been called a hacker using 100nades also. Love this build, it has as many weaknesses as other GC builds except ranger, they cant even run GC. But its high skill cap=high reward, master engi and you will probably never get bored.
There is enough truth to the chicken comments to stick and enough good humor (I hope) in presentation to help make an honest point in a positive way. Open world, event rewards, have been overly nerfed. Those chests need to mean something. Roaming events and chains is one of the things I really enjoy doing in game, one of the few uniquely done features in GW2, as there are other games with better dungeons by a long stretch in “my” view. I would like to see them remain a viable alternative to play as rewarding as anything else rather than marginalized. Doesn’t mean it will happen, but I wrote my piece.
The veteran chicken is half chicken, half dragon AND half undead.
To be honest, event chests themselves are not worth the time of the event. Lately I am happy if I get some green item out of the box. Overnerfed by a mile, but I think it’s ANet’s way to tell us, don’t do them…
After I reached 60 I decided to give the Grenadier spec a try now that I had access to the master trait. What amazes me about the Grenade Kit is it is absolutely amazing underwater, but I find it only so-so elsewhere. I’ve been questioning why that is.
Well, I think it’s because on land Grenade Kits use Ground Targeting and there doesn’t seem to be any collision detection. Having to use ground targeting all the time adds a lot of fatigue to the player. Even getting rid of the ground target reticle in the options menu doesn’t really help since mouse look isn’t locked like in a first-person shooter.
Grenades do have significant travel time. As such, I’ve noticed that when running away from a mob while tossing grenades backwards, if I don’t lead the target properly the grenades go right through them! Not so when using grenades under water.
At the very least, I think Grenade Skill #1 should using regular targetting. What would be better is if the UI could give us some option for all ground targeting skills to remove that and just shoot directly towards the target. Also, collision detection really needs to work on these.
Asura outfits are fanservice-y enough. Just look at stuff like Savant and Protean armour. The ears are highly visible, and in the latter case, even made to look larger. If that’s not hot, I don’t know what is.
I just looked up the game logs. You posted hateful comments against people from two different countries. “We hate XX cuz they bad and stupid thats / we hate XX too.” That is an exact quote from game logs, removing the country names in question.
I’m sure if you think about it you’ll remember it. If you can’t remember it, believe me, we have records of it and the suspension was well-warranted.
Personally I think they’re just really trying to discourage all those WvW guilds from jumping ship every week. If they made it too low them it’d be a joke.
Plus with the addition of guesting, the only thing you CAN’T do on EVERY server out there regardless of your home server, is WvW.
So really, why should anyone want to move servers now? Period. PERIOD. There’s no reason to other than to play WvW on a different server.
Good job Anet! I welcome this change whole-heartedly. Now people have to stick to a server for better or worse. This will finally actually build up community around the servers as being a HOME.
