Guild Wars 2

There is an Engineer bug floating around where Elixir U doesn’t apply the quickness buff. As many of the few viable engineer damage builds rely on this skill for their burst, I really hope this gets brought to attention and fixed soon.

Ever since the patch has been out, Elixer U has not been activating every time I use it. Regardless of whether the buff is put onto my character, the cooldown still triggers. It’s seemingly unpredictable, and it happens about one in every five times. Please, PLEASE look into this, as Elixer U is one of the Engineers’ few Burst tools, and many builds hinge upon it. I went to check if anyone else had this problem and sure enough, I found a few other post-patch bug reports of this same issue.

Let me get one thing straight, I love this game. I love the engineer. I’m not quitting or rerolling any time in the forseeable future.

Engineer is by FAR my favorite class, for playstyle and for thrills, however they’re suffering from A.N.L.F.C.S., otherwise known as Arena Net’s Least Favorite Class Syndrome. Their list of bugs could span the earth twice around, their defence, offence, and just about everything else is laughable compared to most other classes.

Let me get one more thing straight, I am not bad at engineer. I’m quite good, in fact. But I’m tired of being left out of dungeon groups because I play an engineer, or being cussed out and called a noob because I play an engineer.

Something NEEDS to be done to bring Engineers back into the loop of normal play. Sure, they have spots where they’re good to have, but it’s a very gimmick sort of access. They’re generally left out of almost everything now, and not much is being done to fix it.

ArenaNet, from a concerned engineer player, please for the love of God, do something positive to this underloved class.
