LilBiM.3581:

Med Kit isn’t as bad as people think it is. That said if there were any changes I would make the 1 – 5 Elixirs that are AoE for skills 2 – 5 for a radius of 240. Lower the cast times of 2 – 5 to 1/4s (let the rest of travel time to the ground targeted spot compensate for the rest of the time lost).

The main problem with MK 1 is that we don’t have many active ways to apply boons to allies to augment the results. As a result it will always be lack luster in performance unless you a Rev, Ele combination to support (both of which definitely don’t need your help). It would also help if Med Kit 1 also briefly applied a random boon from a small list of boons at the end of it’s cast (to the Engineer as well).

Med Kit 5 should either have a 6 sec resistance boon to self or in this proposed solution be 3 secs to 5 targets.

Similarly if it is AoE to 5 allies the healing amount will have to be dropped to be on par with Med Kit 1 heals to the party.

The Magnetic Aura thingy granted by Streamlined Kits should be increased to about 4 seconds.

Another good ideas. But be carefull with ressistance. If you can put ressit for 6 sec – this can be increase in pvp up to (50% rev buff, 20% alchemy, 20% rune) up to 90% boon dura so for 11sec. And this can be much OP. I reccomend dont implement med kit to pvp (easy solution-no condi removes/negation)

1) Day 1
2) Ruby (t5)
3) Is your win-rate below 50%?- to ruby t5 was 90+%,now 45-55%
4) Stuck, or are you advancing? – Always too close to next division. Then droped me back to t5.
5) Are you experiencing huge loss-streaks?- l 5loose streak, then 3 wun streak (for me, its succes)
6) Are you continuing to play in Ranked? -sure

I have really great games!! I never see victory on start. Usually we wiped on middle, then i start thinking if we loose. But very much my games is “comeback”. I played many games which we make(or opposite team) from 50-200 to 500-400. I saw in my games only 1 afker. And still outnumbered 4/5 we loose only with 40 score less. I enjoy this seasson really! Each class shake with your strategy, really love it.

Trully good commy will see after 1st pull if you are exp or not.
Look at VG: you pick engi who post your insi, if I don’t see glue shot, glue bomb, chilled seekers, ot might stacking on red guard-kick.
Look at gorsy: if someone jump too early and not dodge knockback attack, etc. -kick

So this what you post only increasing time for exp ppl in squad, who have tons of hour spend by progrresing. I never take care about raid exp-even if its 1st exp for some players, i want only to know how much master in current class player is. And I have some questions how to know it always.

Azure.8670:

Can’t weapon swap

Power builds suck in pve

Forced to use Nades for 3 years

Elite spec added gyros, none are good.

Great class but nowhere near master race

You can swaping up to 5 “weapons” in fight without CD.
Utility provide tool belt skills

Power build have better dps output on VG(low armor) and on gorseval(utility trade off)

Bulwark and sneak is meta in pvp

+ best cc on demand class (slick shoes)
+ decent aoe heal with HT even in berserk gear
+ top solo condi dps(might stack, vuln stack)
+ only one class from all 9class have raid meta build without elite spec
+same for marauder rifle in pvp

I am too on “winstreak train”. Love this matchmaking.

You have truth!

(Charr) For iron legion!

Shortbow thief?

Another score! Yes, druid have cele form, ventari etc. We have med kit!
Could you imagine add to our complex condi rotation a healing from another kit??! Thats cool! this can be more hardest build ever if they make some changes in med kit

Okay what we offer if we get what we want in med kit?
Condi healer: traits: explosives/firearms/alchemy(on need swap explosives for inventions) some healing power to stat contribution, but everything be same like now. SE is not nessesary. Even if dps droped by 50% it’s still decent dps heal. Put fire bomb and go back to heal, sounds good.

Throw med fields can work. (I am not medic, but adrenal injection can apply vigor, this one boon I think is not too much frequent in boon sharing) but sadly, I think that this suggestions is only between us, and nobody of dev team never see this topic

Edit: Some ideas:
Quality of life sharing(superspeed, vigor, instantly heal downed player by x% on impact, increase all current applied boon duration on impact for 5 players by 2sec?, increase boon dura for impacted area)
Or basic def/offense boon share

Arnath.2319:

Insanely high damage, insanely high sustain, insanely high group support. Scrappers are God tier and need the biggest nerf that has ever nerfed in the history of all nerfs.

High damage? Warrior shoot me down with 2 shots. No ,scrapper have cute sustain yea, but sustain is his weakness too-zerk him, and dont be afraid he will never zerk you down. With marauder rifle build I never have problem to take him down.

But there is one problem… what med kit offer diffrent of druid, ele or rev? Boon share is my lazy suggestion (because medy have trait in alchemy).

Healing isn’t bad from 1st skill. Meaby increase spray duration from 1,5 to 3s.(like flame jet on ft) but you hyped me, I must make some testing in action.

Good point, thanks.
But it cannot be offensive, it is heal utility skill so… what about shared cd. If you use any skill in med kit it will have for example 8sec cd(2nd skill) and other 4 skills will start they 8src cd as well.

This will give choice what you currently demand. You cant spam heal skills, but you swap to med kit, use one of 5skills, and swap back. So med kit will have one global cd. What do you think?

Oh, thanks. Yea I still feel that you must have skills which is unique for engi.

So let’s discuss about this.

Med kit should make engi as medium range healer. He can be taken for some boon uptime. Like a must hero tybalt ( he’s engi too) we can share rare boon -ressistance. Not 100% uptime. This can be on 5 skill in med kit , 240yd ground target aoe, 300heal(*0,25) 3 pulses. Each pulse 2sec ressistance and CD 25sec.

4th skill should be quickness. Same heal as skill 5, quick apply 2 sec too, 3 pulses and cd 20-24sec.

3rd skill can apply protection – 2sec per pulse and cd 15sec. (Meaby 1sec prot per pulse)

2nd skill alsoapply fury-2sec per pulse, 12sec cd. Same heal as others. And ground target too.

1st skill…my suggestion is to make heal chain! Healing must be a bit dificult and we pay time in med kit instead of dpsing. So, 1st chain throw med pack which make field- after impact it heal for 300(0,4)this field lasts for 3 sec and each sec apply random offensive boon for 5sec(2might dtack, fury, etc) second chain is same but field apply defensive boons. Last chain can have best healing (17000,7) cast time 1,5sec and field apply 2 random boon every sec-1def and 1offensive.

This is only idea. Numbers and some mechanics can be changed.

No. You can kill bunker now in 2vs1 scenario.

Good idea, but keep down.
I am pro to make engi viable "medic " but you must hold the lore of this proffesion. You cant make heal around you like druid or ele, so, we are alchemists too right? What about throw med pack(like toss elixirs) and after they land, they provide aoe heal+ boon share.

One thing which can be great can be defibrilator xD never mind, but devs should do something with med kit. We have plenty viable traits to make great healer, but med kit ruining our dream, so I still hope that devs read this :-)

Enchanting weapon in fight. Kit like utility which change your weapon skills but have shared CD with core weapon. Explosive enchant make rifle hard hit weapon but hammer will be more weakness/confu/launch based. Fire arms make each weapon condi based…

I know this never will be truth, and many many players didn’t accept new eh, yea many skills(without sheild 3×5 and x 5 enchants= 75 new skills ) I love engi for his jack of all trades, and meaby it’s disease, but I want moore kits!

Or they can make something like druids avatar. We will earn fuel !- with using new utilities which I have no idea here, and after we reach fuel cap!!!!!!!! -After 5 minutes of hard fight!! We can finally!! Use weapon swap

Against engi:
Ranger-no
Bristleback-yes
Smokescale-yes

Against scrapper: idk, I still not meet master ranger/druid

Xyonon , I see you have really hype for making engi most effectivness in raid, what do you think if anet implement viper trinkets. Something change? Runes/sigils?

Try oposite effect. S1 I was running stronghold to get legendary, now stronghold gives me only huge loose strikes.
In conquest my solo team mates can’t hold close, so we winning thanks far cap.
And my biggest “lol” was foefire, when we cap 1 point and rush lord(20/40score loosing) we kill lord and, demotivating opponent team?! They have better class setup against us but they surender sigh… so funny moments at pvp now

Play aggresively, but still look on condis on you and hp. Reaper conrupt your boons to condis, you making opposite..

Scarlet- make happy guild wars underground comunity

Thats not Anet failure, but yours. Stop cry and l2p.
I make over night 20games +-,and only 3 close looses. Try use your brain, if you loosing take for example foefire map, after you reach 300 dont wait if you know that opposite team is stronger and run kill lord. Thanks to luck I was win 2-3 games with this.

Hi guys,
I read now on reddit interesting build
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQFASlUUhyrYtWwCLQ7FL3FF9qH75OYDGhBgYB1D5AA-TRSDABepE86pB/r+DAmYeSZADPAg31BQ/+D9o0TUABG-e

What do you think about this? I am tired using condi build at open world, so I lf chill effective build for solo play.

90% quickness uptime, 25might, 80% fury uptime, perma stability, with heal gyro 80% prot uptime…

I don’t want spend golds untill I know your opinion about this. I want something with decent dmg(not all day slashing 1 mob) and some defense for after work break-style. It is right build for me?
Thanks for answers.

We use it and it work.

On VG I see biggest problem with our casual team mates. So druid heal, and guard tank/heal. Working pretty well and dmg is acceptable.
On gorsy druid tanking and healing-9x dmg helping too.
And sabby , well, I still believe that here no heal needed but good trick was for us ranger dps(kite) and half auramancer at meele. Funny kill :-)

Never used : med kit

Pve mostly used: bomb kit, nades

Pvp mostly used: EG, Tool Kit

WvW mostly used: Mortar kit

Can you post your raid power build?

Scrapper is my prey with marauder rifle build core engi. I can beat him with druid, I can beat him with warr(need some lucky yea..) so only one problem is, that ppl still don’t know how to beat him.

For me; scrapper is nearly optimal balance, but still, too much boring to play

At VG every pug want condi engie(kicking seekers and condi at red guard) but power tank scrapper is pretty nice too. Your group loose dps yea(but at VG it’s not nessesary) but you bring god-moded tank and heavy cc with slick shoes(if your party/guild doesnt have enough cc for 5.phase)

Myself-I love more condi then power. Power build I use on VG as tank(condi work too but seekers etc and if you not trust your healer, this is better choice).

briggah.7910:

jet packs with flames. too many wings. need more variety

My wallet is ready! And my engi waiting for this!!

This wings can be for 800gems

Design is your job, but something mechanical/metal wings (you can start thinking about plane wings).
But important is fire, fuse. And thanks for gliding mastery, if you increase speed with this glider, the fire will fuse more(like a rocket) this is only beta idea btw

sinject.4607:

• scrapper; hammer has largely gone untouched. the damage coeffecients on scrapper hammer are the most ridiculous thing in the game i can point to as a clear and obvious imbalance aside from bristleback. either drastically tone down the sustain mechanics on hammer (blocks/reflects/evades) or tone down the damage output (or at the very least make it skillful; most scrappers are just spamming hammer CDs and get rewarded with unaimed AoE kills far too easily).
  .

Okay, but how can you want to balanced it? Every proffesion have weapon swap, ele have 4 attuments and our kits is almost useless without trait. Only 2 kits can be used as offensive weapon-and theese require explosive trait line (which can by used only with rifle and it’s squishy but still good marauder rifle build). If you take out defensive or offensive base on hammer, it will need to change triat line, and choose kit. And this will make scrapper naked, and its better stay naked at far instead meele = weapon change, meaby scrapper line close.

So increase hammer CD is not too much drastic, but touch on dmg/def can be huge nerf.

Btw: I not like hammer tough..

No problem with condi reaper. I with scrapper can engage him really easy. If they nerf his chill damage i can finally go to other builds. But if they do something with reaper dmg, they must give him something. For me: I was scare after I read patch notes, but reaper seems to be “balanced”.

I don’t compare numbers of other proffesions, For me it’s only interesting how stable dps have condi engi

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/42uz0c/secret_testers_st_dps_graphs_1262016/

I Hope for better result, now I know why nobody want me at sabetha.

PierPiero.9142:

Condi with P/P does not change too much . Instead now, old meta with rifle is really really strong imho becouse toolkit with cd reduction is really effective .
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQFAUlUUhSsYJXw+KQ+FLvF13QFhBg4F1EJx4Z0F5IA-TJRHABks/AZPAAAuAAZXGAA

i feel like maybe alchemy can be abandoned for scrapper… maybe a 1 kit rifle/tk decapper/bunker/control build with paladin(?) ammy to get bunker down procs. (inventions/tools/scrapper)

I think bro that alchemy is core of any pvp build. Without alchemy, conditions are eat us. Every 15 sec condi remove to boons, condi remove by elixir(with EG 2 condi remove)

So I trying alchemy/tools/scrapper right now, and I have reciew some messeges from angry players-that is succes. Many blocks, dodges, lower sustain but still good. I will continue to trying this

They can stay as they are now. But their tool belt skills need some change.

For example: rifle turret have good TB-great CD, good dmg. You can have some kind of fill turret cd.
On the other side rocket turret. Long cd, tb is crapp even if you stand against almost stacionary target

Boon distribute for allies is cool idea, small buff to trait will be usefull, but this not save turrets.

My idea is: support engineer(something like ps warr, herald..) you will put turret for boon stacking(might, fury.. )and if you need move, just take turrets(or detone for might blast) and use your TB skills to not loose your dmg if your turrets are on cd.

But this one can be hard for balance(anet are scare about turrets – pvp turreter) but we can try discuss about this if it possible :-)

insanemaniac.2456:

Obtena.7952:

Yes PVE – why I wasn’t running Scrapper already? Inventions makes this build easy mode in HoT.

I ran this for a bit (Imagine Applied Force traited)

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQFAUlcThqrY5VwWLw6FL3FlYB9DhI9qH7AXwIMAA-TBCEABqrjIhLEoEEATQps/ALq/8kSvCegAQpMIAACA38m/8m/MpA+aNA-e

It feels quite satisfying running around with permanent 25 Might stacks and Stability, with frequent proc’ing of Swiftness, Quickness, Fury and Vigor

I had to drop Inventions, so I lose some serious sustain. Ultimately, it’s a quick swap between full offense and tanky. I know people crap on camping FT. Don’t care.

i ran this when i wanted to do that, and the trait changes will make it better for sure.

best for running around HoT maps, where sneak really shines with all the open world loot caches, but also excellent mobility for world completion marathons.

+1 not bad. But i still stand with my p/p 4 kit at HoT maps

Now thief spoke… Scrapper get some hits in his survival abilities, now you want nerf him more.. Look you have weapon swap, we not. Some kits like nade, bomb kit are useless without trait. (Or very less effective)

Meaby don’t cry, and learn how to counter him. I hate hammer and with core engi I never have problem defeat him.

And remember: ppl love running hammer in open world, this is thing of anet to separate few skills between pvp and pve.

Ryn.6459:

Ryn.6459:

They always go from to OP to nothingness. So orher easy changes were possible regarding burnzerkers… nownthey are useless

How are they useless now? The Scorched Earth change makes it sound like the dps will now be reasonable instead of stupid strong.

Zerker is not a contest against engi anymore. Nor agaisnt an ele. RIP.

Look what effort make warr and what effort engi and how they rewarded… compare both rotations. And ele pay his dmg for squishy..

Nice, i will do too. My priority will be tools trait and alchemy. Without alchemy, conditions eat me. Tools can be better now because vigor and adrenail stack with loved meta tool kit buff.

I start from my own build-explosives alchemy tools(EG, Nade kit, TK, Elixir x..) – great dmg, this can counter reaper you have low boon number. With fast fingers this can work, but i am scare with thief buff..

Another one alchemy, inventions, tools (EG, TK, riffle turret) taking static discharge and focus on some minor heal support to allies with new changes.

I never much play fire arms, alchemy tools, so this must you try how it work now.

And at last scrappy with tools. It will be fun now

More viable before patch but you must try it itself. Remember that other proffesions loose or reciew new things too. I still now at hammer scrapper, but trying change inventions for tools. And slick shoes for toolkit…

DGraves.3720:

Manuhell.2759:

Seems like a nice trait, at least for PvE. Still, it requires taking that line over something else. I wonder if it could be worth the opportunity cost for a condi.

It is. Think of quickness as a direct increase to the number of conditions you can apply over X time. So using AA gun as an example it’s 1 bleed every second, that gets shortened to about 1 every half a second, making the damage compress into the same time block effectively increasing it by double in this case. For grenades the same thing is true with 6 grenades in the same time as 3 you’ll get more bleeds from the trait; to get the might take the Alchemy line and go to town; since quickness is effected by boon duration you’ll get a nice boost from the 20% included in the line plus the might from the potions, plus the might from drinking a potion, plus might from whatever source you see fit. And it leaves you with one open trait line.

I’d take firearms of course so I could swap into flamethrower (even if unused, but it often is in condition anyway for obvious reasons) just so I could stack some might passively; you fall under the limit, stay in it for a few seconds using the myriad of burning opportunities or laying a flame field or something, get above, go right back to it.

Synergizes well in my opinion. But that’s just what I would do.

In raid this can be usefull too (even with chrono). In pvp I stay in power creep scrapper. Meaby instead of inventions I take tools and swap slick shoes for tool kit (haste from streaming kits, more blocks-blockenieer :P eh hammer 4 and gear sheild… 100%endurance regen nice, 10% dmg ) this sound cool for me if I log soloq and be selfish

Still thinking if its better for condi engi in raids. Swap tools for scrapper? What do you think guys

They boost toolkit. And circle is back. Now everyone cry that scrapper have much sustain and cc, meaby after 2 weeks they will say blockenieer.. Actually i think that engi is at good balance stance(except scrapper-sneak gyro 120sec cd in pvp, 20sec in pve, slick shoes-pvp imobilize, pve core skill etc) separate pvp can be great step forward…but they doing this(warrior axe 5 is diffrent from pvp/pve ? )

I am ok with boons. Meaby retalion can get really little nerf but it not nessesary. Meaby bit more ressistance they can give to proffesions.

Gyro movement is one thing.

But they buff is another. Bulwark gyro is ok, but i will welcome some change on purgy and shreddy. Some kind of tool belt skill which provide %condi duration buff to you and allies and can go over cap is great idea and will be our first unique buff dor ally(like warr banners, rev ferocity buff etc). Anet make 2 perfect gyros: function gyro >> sneak gyro >>>>>>>>>>others. I hope that they look deep on them and their toolbelt skills. Bulwark, healing and sneaky is ok woth TB, purgy meaby get some cobdi dura buff and sneaky, idk how much usefull is his TB. This is part of disccusion

Engineer
New elite spec: Mechanic(?)
Class mechanic: changin your weapon skills with enchantments

Skills example on hammer:

1) Rocket enchant:
Hammer 1: no longer provide migh and vulnerability. Now first 2 skills make large radius dmg explosion and last skill make 1sec stun.

Hammer 2: now not provide refflect missile but make 4 small seeker rocket to all direction wich focus your target to 1500range. (To 4 direction and they have same target-it can be cool effect)
Hammer 3: now have only 1 massive leap with same damage as old one.
Etc.

Fire arms enchant:
Hammer 1 : no longer provide might vuln. Now 1st strike provide 1 stack bleed for 9sec, 2nd strike 2 stack bleed for 5 sec, and 3rd strike burn your enemy for 5 sec.

Hammer 2: throw your hammer on poor enemy and confuae him by 5 stacks.

Hammer 3 : heavy smash ground, and open volcano fisure. Aoe burning 4 pulses for 1 burning/4sec.

Hammer 4: make ak an oil circle(200 radius) which can be fired and make fire field for his life time(duration of oil 16sec , after burned-half of current duration)

Other idea for pistols, rifle sheild. And more enchantments for example:
Improvize: focused on survivalability-no ignore dmg but lot of imobilize, some evade, ground movement

Alchemy: focused on boon distribution between alies and some heal

Elite: this can’t be true but it can be funny: Call Airship: mark your ground and wait for reinforcement airship which will shoot down your enemy from above. Cd: 180sec, dueation before arrive: 10 sec, duration: 10 sec (meaned somethink like airstrike). Airship fire on your enemy with many sort of cannonballs and drop you med kits and other helpfull stuff.

At last: enchantments will have shared cd between them and between core weapon skills too.

Meta is in everyone of us, only choosen proffesion make our game easier or harder.

Raids are great. You have room to improve yourself here. Example: gorseval, you will know after few hours when use your right spells(ground target fields etc) to maximaze your dps. After this you can carry some less skilled ppl from guild and help them to learn this and enjoy it too

If they nerf sneak gyro, we can pick elixir x… with hgh and after effect gone its 1 mimute cd. Tool belt is really good too.. For killing bunkers nice thing.
