I only watched the second video. Good play, not much i can advise on other than watch the enemies buff bar for various invuln skills, you wasted a good amount of attacks on people that were either blocking or invulnerable. (Mostly on that engi/mesmer fight, where the charr warrior rushed up and finished the engi) i also much prefer ether renewal, or even signet over glyph, i suggest you try those two out
D/d is a bursty power build, p/d is a condi build. (Tho can be used with power, youre better off with d/d if you want power. D/d is better for 2-5 man groups because you can put a lot of pressure on someone really fast. I would say p/d or d/p for 1v1s. D/p is basically d/d, but better
So youre on the currency exchange tab of the gemstore and it says that? It could be a firewall or something blocking it, i know that often happens with the regular TP
i currently play dagger/focus 30/30/10/0/0 mostly i wanted to know if anything was more efficient for dungeons and fractals. its annoying to swap from 30/10/10/20/0 to 30/30/10/0/0 everytime i need to provide more might also people that steal the hammer when im playing scepter hammer is annoying so should i just stick with 30/30/10/0/0? and then just swap weapons when needed?
Sounds good. Tho with traits being able to reset anywhere and for free after the 15th you may feel more comfortable changing traits
yeah but changing build over and over is annoying would 30/10/10/20/0 be better than 30/30/10/0/0? also i do alot of pugs if that would change anything.
Then i believe you want 30/30/0/10 with Sc/d for might stacking
Yes please, don’t touch my Longbow. kitten it feels good to have that 1,500 range in WvW and PvP. I don’t think any other profession has access to this much range.
So I am curious what the meta Condi build is/going to be. I am very interested in Condi gameplay, and know engi is pretty good at Condi stacking. Any one know?
Buy skins for new patches when the patch first come out and are only 1 ticket each. Then after a couple months after they go to 5 tickets each sell each one for 100s of gold when you only bought them for 25g
Your complaining about not getting perma vigor anymore, then threatening to reroll to the class with the lowest vigor uptime. No they dont need it, but your logic is flawed
In my eyes there are 2 viable options for a roaming power engi. The first would the glassy static discharge build (SD) that focuses on maxing out tools and choosing utilities with a low CD toolbelt skill to make the most out of an adept tools trait called static discharge. These builds are generally extremely glassy however they can also be fairly tanky depending in how you use the skills available to you. Sil has a lot of roaming and dueling vids of a not so glassy SD build but i personally prefer the kill or be killed approach with mine. Haimanhelm also has a couple videos of himself running a full glass SD build in WvW, but those ones are a bit outdated.
Your 2nd option would be an HGH rifle build, which focuses on elixirs and stacking very high amounts of might. This thread has many examples of videos and builds of HGH builds, both condi and power
It doesn’t really matter what you run in zergs. Warriors are most often taken for hammer and healing shouts and war banner in zergs but a back line zerker warr with piercing rifle wouldnt be bad either. Especially if you can somehow snipe the commander (just dont get killshot reflected)
Or if you stealth to much, or if you do to much dmg, or if you reset and are a skillless 2/3 spamming n00b who cheeses his way to victory. Anything other than that and youre ok. So basically youre only allowed an offhand, and even then…
As far as utilities go you can (and should) be swapping them all the time. Im a big fan of bulls charge+frenzy for example and its awesome when it connects with 100b but if they dodge/block/blind bulls charge then its all over. I just wasted 2 40+sec utilities for nothing. The build i set up in the site is my generic setup, but if i feel like experimenting or am going for something more specific then ill swap them out. I use endure pain a lot more than signet of stamina as well now
I always take furious retaliation because i get that extra crit chance right when i get into HS spam mode. (Side strike+hidden killer is also almost 100% useless). Anything with dagger main hand benefits a lot more from hidden killer than executioner as well.
For SA it depends on the weapons. D/d will take cloaked in shadow because it doesn’t actually have any blinds and it doesn’t use all that much initiative anyway. D/p will take infusion of shadow because it already farts out blinds and is very initiative hungry.
I had no idea im a legend. I better start proof reading all my posts to maintain my image all joking aside some other people in the engi forums are probably a lot better than me. I just post a lot
Kinda did it more focused on condi rather than power which is what I aim axe/torch for. and then I can have the greatsword to fall back on for the evade if they ever focus on me.
Traits are decent, however your gear is not. Due to how many players are in a Zerg the condition cap can be met very easily. This means youre completely wasting all your dmg. Not to mention all of the random AoE condi cleanses going around in a Zerg and your doing like 300 DPS. Also 33% crit chance with almost no power or on crit condi procs does absolutely nothing for you
Wow…i had a link to a tinyurl link of a 10hour version of the trolololo song on YouTube. (April fool!) but i guess Anet doesn’t like jokes because they edited my post and removed the link. Now its not even funny cus its not april 1st. GG Anet
