Engineer
Aowys
not even going to read. NO underwater combat that has to deal with point
I had a blast myself . I agree loved it as well. Ever match was different I never got bored .
The new Boss NPC we get to pick were nice . I can just see the chick be coming OP .
Guy with cannon on his shoulder was nice . Yet cant you change his cloths I under he is buc or a pirate .
Welll hope we get more stronghold was lots fun . AND many wins ..
Well in rank you get what four maps to pick from . Even tho the three maps you spoke of can be a pain I miss them at times while running thru rank.
Personal Skyhammer is my favor.
Its a anti zerg map.
People that post things they dont like .!
Add this or ask it. Why doesnt turret blast work with the explosive powder trait??
Or the turret knockback. This is something that has been overlooked.
traits 5&7 in explosive should work together .
what are you talking about ?
Rocket is explosions what you should be asking is why isnt turret explosion working with trait .
there explosion yet even with the trait nop nothing .
I say thats a miss ANET.
This is something i have been playing with for months now.
Like someone said before CC is the problem .
I have been playing with the protection rune to counter the CC along with the two protection traits. Its not all that bad. Yet even with zerker It feels too weak in attacking to me . Assassin Seems to be alot better in AoE’s yet will lack Vit .
With assassin I am able to drop pretty much anyone . Yet with Zerker I need to work alil harder .
I would like to see overcharge shot have evade. engi has what one evade special .
Thief and rangers both have alot of evade specials and there med armor .
Ok lets look thief rangers mesmers warriors . Yet engi have no evade. Overcharge shot and jump shot coud us evade .
and i am not talking about dodge . and made by using a special.
it just seem to low be any good 15% evem tho it doesnt hav e atimer on it could place it to 25 %
other was just not wearth itand the flame isnt that strong and the amount of time is long yet but gets cleasned by the end.
i retrack what i said
i feel its too
low never mind this tread
thank u for asnwer coglin
then what ur saying is what it says on there is wrong i mean trait
are u sure is any skill ? cuz its explosions . which not every skill has bombs rock and big bomb have thos
Works i did alil testing and didnt see it happen
should it give to bombs . and so on
or its to slow of a chance to get a hit ?
its meant to catch fire when using bombs rockets and big bombs.
and maybe buff it too 25 %
Can you give me a little more detail that that?
So far today (and I assume you’re taking about today’s update) you’ve had 1 blowout. It was all solos, and had even ratings and ranks.
I disagree and yes todays update . match where you win by 200 points or more is a blowout in my mind each game so far win or lose have been blowouts and yes i solo que .
it seems if i go by the finishers that the matches are not by rank .it would oh so seem that the system is matching classes .
I am not trying to be mean .
so far every game i have been in since update has been blowouts win or lose.
seems the new system doesnt do rank yet does class match up .
since when did stats not matter . Seems that is something everyone seems to forget here.
Everyone gets the same amount of points too spend in there builts.
Ever piece of armor as long as its in the same class have the same amount of stats .
For some reason this isnt true for amulets. How could a game be balance . If that stats arnt balanced. Reguardless of what anyone says the same amount of stats should be on every amulet . Just like in wvw/pve .
I dont see any reason for anyone to be a lacking in stats and suffer for there pick of amulet.
Stats matter period . Cele has more stats since it has more stats its better .
u .
You know, I was thinking, there use to be a post about autoattack or something, pretty much those rangers would pew pew you until you dead, its like they did nothing but pew pew and you die. That power of the spirits is real.
I think if Ostrich Eggs went engineer and put condi pressure on those spirit rangers we WOULD have won. I literally thought since Ostrich Eggs was on my team I would get a win, but nope. Lost by 150 or so, all due to pew pew. I’m pretty sure that celestial ele or whatever weakness is pew pew as well.
All those popular preppy kids complaining about celestial ammy and eles using them or something…. I don’t see many eles, I see a lot of rangers and annoying engineers. If a lot of people playing them then you think something is fishy going on, like they too op or something.[/quote]
Three are afew eles I have come across that you cant do anything against once KD ur going to die. Yet thos players i believe are using macros so you wont see them that much . The ones i speak of do a come that is way too fast for fingers . Cuz i have fast fingers and came close too there combo yet came short.
Ele’s are harder to play. I don’t really don’t trust any ele that I don’t recognize the name. I can’t tell you how many terrible ele’s that I’ve seen.
Rangers are easy to play and Engineers are easy to play, which is why you see a hell of lot of them. I’m actually not surprised that you lost even with high-tier players, hell, my Elementalist couldn’t survive constant focus fire from 3 rangers why would a guardian?
Even if Ostrich Eggs went engineer, it wouldn’t have helped. You need thieves and lots of them.
Cant say muc h about this. Tho if ur being focus by rangers and ther 10X hit that goes up with each hit end with a crit range of 10k with one skill is alot. 8 timer at that .Hell that should be there elite cuz dps is so high.
The problem with rangers right now, in my opinion is Greatsword Leap/Block and Point Blank shot. Other than that, I find their damage legit :\
Just remove their ability for hard defense.
As for Engineers, they are a serious problem. They have access to way to much CC and condi spam. One match I had 3 engineers and a thief. The other team was really good, hell, there was a GOOD Mesmer, you don’t see many of those now a days.
Engi is jack of all yet master of none. engi players learn this so there are alot of diffrent types of builts unlike other class . U have a nerco vs engi condi the nerco should win. Yet if that nerco fasted a CC engi the nerco should lose.
Now if that condi engi faced that mesmer the mersmer would lose cuz there weak vs condi. say that same mesmer faced the CC engi the mesmer would win ,
But 2 of the spamgineers ran celestial, one ran rabids and there other team just could not stand on point, what should have been a close match ended up 500-200 just because they couldn’t stand on the point without being wrecked with grenades, turrets, bombs.
dont let bombs fool yeah there dps and for turrets us los . Naders need to face CCers .
They didn’t die a lot, they just couldn’t hold mid point despite fighting so much at mid and when Tranquility appeared it was GG.
Elementalists, Engineers and Rangers do need to get nerfed without a doubt. Will it happen soon?
No… Not really.
Just asking for a nerf will hurt the game. Need to kn where to nerf before asking . I had pointed out some that would not be agreeable nerfs . Cuz i see having three turrets out without despawning unless they are taken down by owner or enemy . Just leaving them stand forever is nerf. As it the ones doing the turet thing are exploiting something the game deve team missed.
Why isn’t there an ArenaNet team souly devoted to improving combat? It almost feels like they drag people into combat balancing instead of having a team that entirely focuses just on that.[/quote]
Its simple . they are unsure where to go . Why they look at forums for ideas . ANd if we dont come up with good ones .Instead of flame complaining about it they wont kn !

I find that the higher leaderboard players tend to play spirit rangers, while the mid class leaderboard players play engineers, the annoying rifle with splashing water and nades type engineers.
Attached is a high class game… Btw I was leaderboard rank 95% at the time playing with top 100 leaderboard players. My hidden MMR must be pretty dang good, I’m sure its from the days when I was on a team and faced good teams like Karmy, Joshua S type teams (only team I remember that I played against that put up really good fights).
Guess which team won… Ostrich Eggs team didn’t win. That guy Pandemonium, think it was him, he freaking wrecks people, wrecked my entire team. They were all spirit rangers too, or at least 2 of them were. We lost because of not being able to control the team fights, literally was 2v1, 3v2 everywhere and the entire matchup.
Spirit ranger time is hard too beat There so tanky plus with all the pets hard to focus on main target .I believe spirits should have at timer for how long they can stay out and not be out forever if not hit. or used .

Now if that condi engi faced that mesmer the mersmer would lose cuz there weak vs condi. say that same mesmer faced the CC engi the mesmer would win ,
when ur talking about engis. Is it any engi that has a turret! or three turrets ones camping !
I am an engi I use two turrets plus crate with two kits rifle. I think of my built as a Crit CC one.Yet i have hurt the complains about any turret .
I will throw a bone. I do not feel turrets should beable to stay up forever . SOme kind of needs to be added on how long they may stay up.
Yet if that does in I would oh so say the same for nerco minion and any familar typelike spirit pets.
Yet I do get sick of player saying stuff about turrets.
yeah its getting old
having the 4v5 crap
i dont mind classes having three of this or whatever
its just the unbalance that the real problem is
skyhammer is fun
brings osmething different maybe nerf the power the hammer uses
it the tacits in skyhammer is fun
nercos need swiftness
engi dont really have stabilty
and if u got a guard om ur team there is ur stabilty
ur real quickness isnt stabilty its swiftness
plus dodge more
afk out manned
will Anet ever do something about this
it is on far for . all . why cant they just lock the last person that qued up on the team if its note even..
I am sure its been said many times
and if thats the case why havnt they done something about it
lets see someone here said engi have terrible condi thats your built not engi its self. something about condi nerco .
If ur a nader yeah ur going to have problems vs nerco. First nerco are way stronger in condi then engi .
I beat nerco 95% of the time only really expert nerco’s will bet me . Even if there an expert nerco comes down too who gets first hit .
Nerco has two big weakness 1 there slow 2 CC .
Nerco arnt meant to be out condi . best way too bet them is to control them as much as you can . They have a much larger health pool then engi . There able to do alot more with condi then a nader engi. As a CC engi I have no problem facing a condi nerco . Hell if a nerco was saying who wants to face me I would first in line jumping up and down waving my arms crazy.
I can see that the fotm built has problems vs nerco . Yet the CC builts shouldnt have any problem at all vs them thats there weakness after all.
Just like a CC engi has problems with mesmers a nader doesnt .

i kn i been holding this in i am vent .

what is it are u fanboys of warrior
we where doing good engi now engi will die out unless there condi .
on dev said engi are meant to boons and some condi
yet nerco and better condi even works can makea good condi built
overcharge shot is still resetting ."It doesnt have a timer there is no reason for it to misfire , then warriors get 7 sec of not take damage. yet u can cc them is that a bugg

ps and other good mmo comingo ut
lack of new wvw map play on same map is gettting to
kitten off with this stuipd change
and for all of u think this is good well
its not ….
Would be nice if they would add stunbreak to our trait elixir.
That would be stunbreaker at 75% when you need itmost.
Think that would be four stunbreakers. That couldbe in one built.
I am someone that doesnt run with a stunbreakers. I dont lik elixir s or the one in trait.
Goggles not worth the slot.
For the challenge there needs no other reason.
Everything else is nothing more then a perk.
Dont need carrots just need players that challenge ya to get better,quicker & faster. things that NPC cant do .
Facing players that think is a reward in its self.
Thats just on a personal level add in working together with others as a team adds so much more to challenging yourself plus leadership .
Plus its a great stress reless.
@Rob
I was there the whole time .
Yeah lets see AR took SM then NSp took it for what was 15ms maybe .
AR took it back and held it vs ur golems trebs and BP golems trebs siege out side on the gate with hardly any supplies.
Yeah we let you two fight it out inthe middle when ya wanted to rush and laughed our kitten off. Then you setup siege . This went on for what seemed to had been two hrs inside the lords room .
Was an Epic fight for everyone there and my hats off to everyone there was alot of fun.
In the end we held .
And oh both NSP and BP were doing the portal to the second and third floor.
Plus that was at the end of the fight.
When using magnet terrian comes into play thats why at times when you try to pull someone they dont come all the way .Or flop ten feet in the air landing at ur feet . I love that .
In Spvp terrian is all pretty much smooth while in WvW it has its lumps.
Fantastic fights tonight in BP borderlands. Hats off to both AR and BP for serious tenacity at Bay and Bluebriar. I don’t know how it all ends, as I’ve got to get some sleep, but however it turns out I had a great time and thank you for the badges. Thanks also to the BP commanders who did a bang-up job managing multiple fronts. Really excellent gaming tonight, everyone.
The fights BP and AR have been having been great and long there was that fight there then it moved over to EB after Bluebriar was losted.
Between QL and SM .
Walls down and all still able to hold it. Seems lik there are fighters on in the morning that like fighting rather then going around pvdoor . /Tiphat I can respect wanting to earn a tower .
Paxa biggest problem is how they “try” to promote small groups.
AD did more for promoting small groups for the 2 weeks they were here then Paxa has for the pass month plus.
AD was more to the point hey all this is what a good squad can do vs a zerg .
Paxa seems to go about it the whole flame way of put downs disrespect and so on. Anger which will just bring more zergs there way .
Paxa plz go talk to Envy and AD to learn how to promote small groups .They both came from a tier where small group guilds were all over the place .
And thats what this tier could use .
Os please dont even talk . Move along .
After some discussion, [Envy] has decided on heading to NSP. We have roughly 15 or so active players, so our presence shouldn’t alter the numbers too much, for those worrying if we were a big transfer guild. We prefer roaming around in small groups, so we’re looking forward to some good fights. Hopefully the competition can rival that we had with the small-man groups on Devona’s Rest and Kaineng.
Hey there Envy. I afew of us from Kain on AR guess we get to fight each other again .
I got to say when I seen Envy posting about tranfering I was hoping you all would come to AR .
So now NSP has a three decent roaming groups .
Hope you all will lik it on NSP . Just dont think you will have epic roam battles lik NoQQ AD LARP and stuff that happened in tier 8.
AR is getting together roams dont kn about BP .
Sorry just been readin through this thread.
Why all the Paxa hate?
1. They are doing what they want and having fun
2. They arent hacking (i havnt seen it at least)
3. They run from fights that they dont have the tactical advantage, sounds good to me.
4. They have made imprints on you guys (oh kitten its paxa!), thats gotta count for something.Sounds like a fun guild to me.
On that note tho, fought u guys a couple times last night, was that your B-team or will you trying something new? Took you guys down a few times even when we didnt have significantly more numbers than you.
The only issue I have with PAXA is their constant rudeness, and how they refuse to mention loses, case in point. I seriously doubt there will be any recognition about these fights, yet they’ll constantly tell us how bad AR, and BP players are.
You know I run around a lot solo when ironing out builds, especially on my Ranger, so my irritation with that guild has nothing to do with them beating me. <grins>
Oh, you’re the guy that complains about getting rolled over by 5 of us and when we offer you a 1v1 you are too cowardly to even respond. Right. You sure do like to drive that complain train against PAXA. We give credit when credit is due. Just as we don’t expect props when we roll over someone 5v1, we’re not going to give credit to zergs that kill us. For example:
3v3 with VS and they run away until ALS zerg comes. We’ll give props when either of them decide to finish out the fair fight, win or lose if it’s a good fight.
Were you the wairror that was fighting the engi in the middle island?
Looks like it . Just wanted to say was nice fight till another VS showed up.
I have no mic so couldnt say anything.
If ur talking about the fight that was going on in front of redvale .
I fell back afew times yet never ran away fall back heal do it again
besides there were pugs on both sides in that fight.
Plus come on redvale was flipped of course a zerg gone come.
Well anyways .
Only a WvWvW players know not to attack the gate with there weapons or pets.
Only a WvWvW players know how to get two heals back to back.
Hello AR here.
We been facing NSP for the pass month or so .
To let you know what you be heading into rite away. NSP is mostly an EB server. There BL has been getting better.
They have a good morning crew while its bigger then AR.
At this time in t6 we are having a good close 3 way battle with BP NSP and AR.
Over all NSP pretty respectful server that doesnt cheat .
Well if any and all that tranfer to NSP have hope you have fun.
@Osif
Do you really believe when someone says fotm that they are talking about fractals?
Is this the only game you have played? Whenever i hear fotm I think flavor of the month.
That is what i see paxa running are flavor of the month classes and builts.
Does Paxa have nercos engi I see there is a ranger .
What I see paxa run is elem thief once in awhile i see them mesmer .
(edited by Aowys.9420)
Dovgan, I actually gave credit to your ranger the other night in vent. Said you last longer than most, even solo. But we are here to kill. PAXA is driven by # of kills /night, that’s the only thing that matters to us. If you are red and in our visual, you are #10,634 for me, even up to 12,001 for two of our guys.
The only player, Hammerhorn, that has been relatively impressive from VS has been the black robed mesmer. The verdict isn’t out for the rest of the guild, simply just a mob of mindless zergers (aka burger-eaters).
Thats funny you say that I hardly run with zergs . B/c of Culling and crappy FPS . Plus the chaos that zergs bring.
I sit back and I look at paxa and think ok whats another guild like them that I have faced . AD NoQQ Larps Envy all premade all faced each other in tier 8 the differents between thos guilds and PAXA is paxa runs Fotm builts and classes. While AD made the hammer stomp .
Culling and downed state need to be wokred on asap.. We had 25+ downed and one us died and poof everyone was back alive.
Otherwise fun first night on our new server. looking forward to more 5-10man stuff.
Yes for sure they need to fix Culling and downed wouldnt say take downed out yet does needs to have a hard look at.
P.S.
(edited by Aowys.9420)
I dont understand why some dont lik down state. I came from a game Star War Galaxic. Where when you got incap you couldnt do anything jut hoped for someone to heal you if you died they could rez ya . Yet that was a on long timer .
The only thing i see wrong with downstate is you ca drag them . You can knock them back yet you cant drag them to you.
There is nothing wrong with Downstate. If they are so easy to down then down them again and again by that time aoe will kill them.
Next week when this tier faces Kain I would like to ask AR NSP or DH .
To not fight to win not fight to lose yet fight to crush the morale of the fair weather Wv3 that are on Kain . At the very less the first few days .
I am from Kain tranfered to AR and I kn not everyone on kain are fairweather wv3. Yet I kn they didnt get all the numbers from Tranfers and with winning comes fairweathers.
If we can crush the morale of the fairweathers this will be a much funnier match up.
To Dh or NSP I wouldnt say lets not have a truce yet will ask to focus more on Kain then on each other.
(edited by Aowys.9420)
Ok all . I was playing around today and i had found out alot of combos we can do by ourselfs.
From what I had found playing around with today.
We can area Cloak .Give area might . Area weakness .
We can put fire shield thing on ourselfs . Give single weakness . With maybe posion havnt checked on enemy yet.
We can cloak ourselfs alot tho the cloak doesnt last very long .
Just havnt found out how to use the elite hea kit thing yet.
P.S. should I post how or let us learned them on our own .
Hey storm AR is the one that has prtty much no one on inthe early morning . I kid you not maybe 15 in total . Every morning got the outmanned buff and that is when we lose most of our stuff in EB.
When I was on Kain EB 80% of the time didnt have a commander on there thats why DR could find afew roaming by them selfs . Cuz you kn when a commander is on most go to the icon. On Kain EB fighters had to work together and talk to each other all the time .
On Kain everyone started to learn to listen & trust each other b/c of not having a commander.
This post was for thos talking about Kain and AR in EB.
I love EB fights there rock.
AR trebbing Bluelake from Hills. Back wall blown out and front wall almost down. DR comes along w/ 3 golems and attacks the front door. 2 golems and over half of the forces wiped out. The rest of DR sandwiched by 5-6 of us up near the tower lord. AR then comes along and tries to take it from all of the various orifices and gets sandwiched by us and DR from behind. AR killed off and DR thinned out—we might’ve been able to hold if we had been more careful but DR prevailed. Hilarious.
Now I understand how people deny pvdoor all the time. Time to cry pvair instead.
tl;dr: Laughs all around in mumble while defending our assless chaps tower.
I was in one of the DR golems. This was after we found we couldn’t ninja garrison with them. We had 3 golem and Juuuust had to use em. We were laughing hard when we crashed through the gate and saw that wall down. That battle for Blue Lake was a lot of fun.
NSP and AR you guys have been both providing some great fights tonight. Its been a blast.
I was the one that spotted the golems at garrison and attackd them while they were waittng in the water. I kne they wouldgo somewhere.
We tried to snipe it from DR while the golems were on the gate just didt move quick . Speed and timing is importian on things lik that. beside think we only had lik 4 maybe 5 AR there. Its always fun when thee is a three way battle .
Iove our boons. At 75% health you get lik 4 or 5 . Then you can turn all cond on you into boons. Which you can get end up too all the boons in the game which is really funny when your jumping off the tower into attacking force and your never dieing and you looking back and the guardians and anyone else that tries just flop .
I always have swift and vigor on me in a fight . This class is fun b/c its hardmode. Just wish the boons would last longer then they do.
Oh you can get them all with just eng just go to get alot of cond on you.
Great Job AR holding QL with 4 balistas, 2 arrow carts, 1 superior arrow cart and 2 catas, was hella hard to get in there.
Thank you it was my idea. some wanted to just repair the wall . tere was no point to repairing it if we couldnt tae down that treb.
So i asked if they wante dto make a kill box. I throw them down.
Oh and it was just two ballista. not four . a ram and a ballista didnt get the chnce to make them .
Glad we gave ya afight tats all i wanted well plus to kill ya
@Oozo
You must be talking about NoQQ and Envy on FC and kain.
Thos guy had been fighting DR for long that they just got to the point where they just wanted to kill ya’ll without walls being in the way.
I believe AR first part of the week was trying to win this match . Then when DR pulled ahead leaves the smaller groups going after NSP to keep second place closer.
I kn how DR fights i told players ya’ll tactics some listened some didnt.
I’ll see if cant get VS to focus on DR alil . To show what some of us can do.
Oh btw loved sniping Klov from NSP while DR was attacking it with only three players.
DR really helped us out there now thats how you snipe or ninja a tower.
Glad your back Morning Star .
I am really looking forward to this match up. I came from Kain so I kn how devR fight and there strong times.
I may sneak over and watch NSP and DevR fight it out in the morning time b/c I kn devR haves a nice morning crew.
Well DevR have fun i think this will be a pretty even match on all sides.
Oh cant wait to have devR here . I believe that will be one fun match . So even . Just remembe Dev I believe you will be blue hopeyou learned something from Kain.
Cant wait to see you again ..
