i think there is no problem in crating while it allows u to win
necros use lich form, eles summon elementals, mesmers moa, etc… engi just dont have 45 second cd elite like thiefs or warriors
Hmm, nice info here as I’m doing a little pvp (yay profession dailies! Don’t kill me!)
Just some Qs:
— The way I understand, I really shouldn’t be defending a point because engis don’t really have stab and all that jazz. So what should happen if I’m the only one near a point and some d/d ele comes and starts crapping up the point with that fire field while chasing me with drake’s breath? My first idea would be to knock/pull them away but it’s not always successful.—Elixir S is a great skill, but I note that it will not contribute to point defense/captures; is this actually an issue?
— Is jump shot a legit gap closer? I guess I could use it to jump across various ledges.
— How do you not instantly die when a necro shows up? Every time a necro is on the other team, my chances of winning go down into the toilet. Everything else I can at least buy time for my team, but the necro just renders me ineffective. I get that necros beat engis 1v1, but they just fear me and my health just plummets even in a team situation. And as for power necros, they are easy to fight, but they will resort to lich form which seems to warrant me running away.
1) ur point defence comes from damage pressure – u can solo burst someone off the point realy quick+knock, pull, crate if u need. but no way u should stay under heavy pressure preventing point cast (unless help is comin)
2) not an issue at all – its timers wouldnt allow to make it neutral or capture it fully. but it will allow u to be alive and continue fight after invul/stealth.
3) yep, why not
4) lich – kite, hide, invul, block.
condi – manage healing turret cleanese cd (dont blow up turret), equip and use EG, pray

man, u use ur skills with a mouse click …
dont think you should teach ppl how to play, before u learn yourself
3rd party programs are illegal. only way to use it auto – dive deep
i dont think nades need auto, cause most dont even use nades#1 (pvp wvw)
Veewee talks about roaming builds, guys that protect Inventions line talk about zerg.
In zerg you may run anything if you r not going to bring rally even full soldier with 20660
for sure second minor in Inventions is pretty good for zerg – second water field. But that kinda things wouldn’t help u in top 2 eu borders (deso and sfr)
go and try it at heart of the mists it takes about full napalm up time (10 sec).
also you can add Bomb2 fire field and blast it with ft2 again
and switch tk to thumper turret for 2 more blasts
man, blasting 4 (or even 5 or 6 – you can blast 2 ft2) blasts at fire field would take u so long… it is cool when you have long fire field and your party helps you to blast – by 1 or 2 blasts from a man, but it is awfully annoing to do it yourself.
it is surely not the best way to play engi, why may even you need so much might uptime?
man, i’m not forcing u to play different and not tellin that you play bad or something, i’m just trying to help
for example -
rocket boots vs mine
both have blasts,
mine grants u additional CC
mine strips boons
tool belt skill grant you better burst chain (immob->jump shot->mine field blast)
mine deals more damage
rocket boots vs ft
both have blasts
both provides burning from tool belt
ft gives you (and allies) fire field to blast
ft gives you CC and range reflect
ft gives you blind
ft geals more damage
best in rocket boots is saving from cripple and imob, but u have riftle4 already, and with mine or ft u can do chain Detonate(300) or FT3(400) + Riftle4(+450+300) + EG4, which will give you up to 1600 or 1700 distance from your foe

man, your dps is realy aweful… if u dont like bombs or nades try SD or even FT…
u got so little pressure – it is about your mates to kill someone, u just cant realy hurt.
engi+thief that cant kill ele on their own supply – that makes me sad
and u need to try to build some rotation, cause u spend a lot of cd on nothing – for example use your magnet after net shot or overcharge then enemy wouldnt dodge it
use your blasts and leaps on your water – you can jump shot(or acid bomb) regenerating mist
on most videos i dont see you using food (condi duration + or -)
hoelbreak is ok for zerg melandru is also great
rifle stats depends, but predator alows to run any stats any time :P
have to agree with Vee Wee
and check your fps and latency lag – it may be an issue if you have that problem in fight only
it is realy bad
1) u nearly have no fury and got 4% crit chanse and run Explosives IX (IP) – it will nealy never proc
2) u have Power Shoes and Speedy Kits – they dont stack
3) u are too vulnurable to any crowd control chain, dont have any defensive traits (like Alchemy VI or Inventions IV) or runes (melandru)
4) not enough power to burst anyone with direct damage
5) dont have enough condi damage and duration to melt any one, also cant apply “on-crit” condis from IP and Sharpshooter
i cant see it killing anyone if he is not afk even bearbow ranger
check http://www.wolfineer.com/ for any build u like for a start
it is ok now
smoke vent is ok too
