Guild Wars 2

try with a carrion or a rabbid amu in pvp
ft/eg is a condi build
also for a weapon sigil u can use the sigil of corruption to increase condition dmg
u gain might with judgernaut the sigil is useless

well tell me where we got a box of piranhas
i didnt see it on my engy

= underwater skill replacing box of nails.

“In a decent place” is a matter of view though or even more what part of the game we´re talking about.

My WvW-guild decided to go “pro-mode” and engis (together with rangers) are excluded now from dedicated guild-raids. And I can´t even really argue with them as I see what my guard can do and how much I lack stability on my engi.

Concerning the changes: spvp-balancing ftw

And AED will stay a bad joke, the least they should do is make it instant

oh well never used tool kit underwater XD

thaooo.5320:

That’s funny because I’ve always thought the team with the most engi’s and necros wins.

+1
and i say the team with most ppl who know what to do win

well tell me where we got a box of piranhas
i didnt see it on my engy

o.O never see a decap thief or a decap guardian???

i want to ask 1 thing
for what on ur server are engy so popular?
wvw
pve??
pvp???

pve:
for my experience i see engy in pve only for a few dungeon and for low lvl on fotm
other pve thing its a massive meta and its useless to call it a ncessary member
pvp:
some bunker build (high survivability but low dmg), cond build (high cond dmg but no clean), SD (high crit dmg but its the same of a thief but no stealth) well on pvp its the same of other class depending on how do u L2P
wvw:
i see all class got a role
war and guardian on the first line
thief and ranger for kill the ppl who got 50% of their life stole by the first line
necro and engy for spamming conditionsand support the first line (necro for kill, and engy for water/blast)
eleand mesmer got the support role on the back (ele for spamming aoe and mesmer for stealth, portal, blind and stomp)
and this is for zerg blob issue
now for a small group depend on ur team setup, ur build, and how u and ur team play
i see a solo DD ele kill 2 war and 1 ele team
i see 1 engy do the same
i see a mesmer to
and i can continue for all class
depending on build they r playng

change side when ur team r failing??
a rule ppl like it XD

a zerker build with bomb and nade (vulnerability/cond spammer) with rocket boots
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcAQFAUlIqiY3zy3F1LJyoCdGoCAmIF5n+95xblWQIA-jkBBYfAEEAZnFRjtMqIas6aYKXER1SBwkwI-w

o.O
a good party for dungeon is:
war
guardian / engy
mesmer/necro(cond spammer)
ele/engy
thief/ranger/other class
just ppl who know what to do and with build for what to do

for self defending and push back an enemy who try to stomp an ally
blast some aoe field
smoke = stealth
fire = might
water = heal
ecc
if ppl dont knock back is because they got stability
turrets build dont have boon from skill but only from blast on combo field
just play for fun
all the time we r hoping for some buff or fix on turrets bu nothing come

maybe PvE to sPvP but no way sPvP to PvE

some of gears in spvp are way too easy to earn while the same appearance are very hard to get in real world.

I wouldn’t consider 60,000 Glory+60 gold through PvP “easy”

???

I got Arah set gears in spvp just from random chest. If u wanna get in pve u have to grind pve for a while

rng favors you

most people will have to grind for 15,000 glory and 8 gold

in hotjoin it’d average to be 150 glory per 7 minutes optimally

optimally that’s 700 minutes or 11+ hours

realistically your probably going to be closer to getting 150 glory per 12 minutes

that’s 1200 minutes or 20 hours

whether it’s 11 hours or 20 hours, if you do arah runs for that long you probably have a completed set and then whatever extra profit from loot after that

the other nice thing about dungeon runs is you can target individual pieces whereas in pvp you have to go all in on the whole set

the point of all this is that it’s not unfair to get an armor in one game type and have it in the other

glory farm map its easy to make easy points
and random 5vs5 maps to fun points make 5k+ glory/4h (with booster)
the rank up is the problem XD

Ferik.3127:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/player-vs-player-rewards-roadmap/

Somewhere along this article they mentioned PvP armor will be merged with PvE system.

Soon~ we should keep bringing this up to remind ANet of their primoses
I feel ya. I too hope this come to reality as fast as possible. I am Rank36 in game and my PvP gears already outshine PvE ones by~~~too much for me to say in a post

o.O why merging it
after that we may pay gold to buy a pvp set/rune/amu
and compare a pve vs pvp set, a pve set got more stats than a pvp set
its not the same
if it is a skin issue just make a shop item who can merge pvp skin to a pve item
and after that we can see only pve skin price drop down
this is the best solution for all

some time i play heal bunker with healbomb/nade/eg if i dont see any guardian or ele on team
just change skill for what u need if u need run or stability or elixir s for stealth (+ smoke bomb combo)

Xyonon.3987:

I can only speak for PvE where he is an awesome teammate: Most engis A) don’t know what they are doing or are annoyed by grenades. And sometimes even C) they know what to do, but forget about their skills and just keep spamming a skill.

Seriously I rarely see a random engi use his fields, spreading heal and 15 stacks might. I know just one engi that does that – a friend of mine. But randoms? No, just annoying dps suckers with rifle and elixiers or dual pistol condition fuzzies …

all the time ppls want zerker on team and dont want to play with bunker or cond spammer, but when they die fast complain engy who dont spam heal on the feet
in fotm and some dungeon i play engy bunker for other i play mesmer (or if i see other engy in team)
jsut play and have fun

SeuRafinha.5924:

Last night I fought a power engineer on wvw. He invited me to party and explained a little bit of his build. Traits: 30/0/10/20/10. Gear: PVT. The result: I couldn’t take 40% of his HP and his hits hurt me a lot. In 5 duels, I lost all (I was dueling with my warrior). I tried all my builds: full tank, full DPS and hybrid.. I don’t know this build, but maybe you can search for this one, it’s very solid.

bomb/nade power build???
i want to know what equip setup was (soldier or whatever)

only who got a low CD on elite can use it (runnable only for thief)
its not a big problem all class got elite 60+ seconds CD
only thief got an elite with 45sec CD
and lyssa is a precision/cond duration rune with a random boon on heal use
it’s a rune set for crit build, i played it on mesmer first time but i changed it for a 4xogre’s rune +2x flock rune its more fun to see a ogre dog and a swarm of birds casted on enemy

Shakya.6351:

the problem is not to lose or to win…ppl dont like the fact that ai do all the job while players jump around the map

the game must be based on skill, not on passive procs, not on pets ecc

its skill to avoid the AI to
if u dont want AI
delete minion on necro
delete elemental on ele
delete phantasms/clones on mesmer
delete pets on renger
delete turrets on engy
oh now we can see all wars/guardians/thief on pvp/pve/wvw
just l2p how to use and counter a class, AI is not a big issue to counter
just play and gain experience

Zai Quixtab.7836:

I’m so sicked of ppl leaving a match after it is started! I end up with 4v5 or even 3v5 for 80% of my pvp play time. This is ridiculous!!! Please do something about this. This is a major issue and a huge turn off. I might just stop playing pvp because of this. Thanks.

just organize ur team with friends/guildmates and don go never again with pug
i lose 50% of team arena because of that
pug need to go on random arena and not to team arena

i played MM necro and see some build can counter it easy (mesmer with moa, guardian GS, engy cond spammer, thief who stealth and evade all minion ecc) its just a L2P issue and i say it i need to learn how to play necro XD
some time i lose and some time i win (i hope for missing something on the MM equip)
just play and learn

haviz.1340:

Cynz.9437:

i faced 4 mm necros (playing asuras heh) and 1 engi…. i wanted to afk tbh

lv 50 fractal dredge map is more fun than this crap

anet should just give every class army of pets so we can all roll asuras, sit afk at points and watch pokemon battles while entire map is covered in puddles of death

And you were asking people why they prefer pve over pvp.

spirts ranger is the same
but u need L2P to counter MM team
split for just capping or play 2 war hammerchain or play with 3 mesmer or condi thief
or DD ele or ecc

LightningBlaze.4913:

if you can’t burst down a thief before he re-stealth then you will never kill a good player thief that perm stealth to recover on 1v1. That’s how broken this mechanic is in wvw. However, I find mesmers to be a lot more annoying using constant stealth than the actual thieves.

but mesmer cant perma stealth
they got CD on stealth who thief didnt got
90% of the time stealth mesmer dont solo roaming

wxp booster + zerg who run fast + leeching without hardwork XD = 60 ranks
just leech when u can

take off A.E..D and use healing turret, with that skill setting u dont get any condition remover
well i changed something

Clearly, this is a L2P issue.

- HerpsADerPs, Oneofthe12DerPs

I would probably agree if it wasn’t a matter of numbers. The best player in the world will get hit the same with the same set up and variables on both ends.

False. The best player in the world knows how to mitigate damage from key attacks.

The best player in the world will get hit the same with the same set up and variables on both ends

Ah, I see, so you’re saying if both players just tried to face-tank they’d take a lot of damage?

no they die at the same time XD

tigirius.9014:

Okay every few months of coming back to the forums waiting to see what they’ve improved (if anything) I find it funny that I see this type of nonsense just about as much as I find the nonsense about stealth on Thieves, seriously you can stop posting this now.

There’s nothing wrong with engineers cept they were a little weak (especially in PVE hopefully they’ve improved that now and will continue to improve them to bring the profession out of the beta stage) but they don’t need anymore nerfs in fact if they haven’t already they need to go back and check the nerfs they’ve done in the past to make sure the numbers are closer to the class favorite, Warrior.

engy got nerf cause no bug fixed on turrets
perma vigor on kit got nerfed
no cond remover or just on elixir and HT
SD got incendiary powder nerfed
HgH nade high dmg but low def
what can we run next time if they nerf engy???

bunker for command is the safe1
just call the blast when u need
u can make water /fire / smoke / light field and got self blast
if u command a zerg/blob/small group dont need speady kit and can pat the 10 poin in other trait

with an high numbered server u cant 1vs1 all the time
if u want a 1vs1 match just go in spvp

Oh, yes and by the way Augury Rock, you’ll love what we gave you for new years, it’s a very nice present that might annoy you. All courtesy of – Diamond Crasher and the night crew, hope you enjoy it! [Hint : notice the waypoint in your keep.]

WAHOUUUUU it’s so glourious….. IRL is more important than GW2 for Augurians !

/clap no-lifes

dude just invite your friends to a PC party where all gpt a pc to connect at same time in your house
10 ppl online at home, some drink and some food for new year
just dont be a RL slave who cant play online when there are some fun

30 vs 30 at bay AR border (1700 supply T3) 1h trebbing the inner wall happy new year XD

for rune set
3x dwayna + 3x of the flock
+10 heal and a bird to help some time

ArmageddonAsh.6430:

Yeah the leap skill isnt to bad, wasted if they move out of range which is fairly easy. Stealth Meh, that can be countered by several skills that continue to hit while in stealth. Unlike Thief we dont get no 25% movement speed signet or trait for 50% faster movement in stealth (that seriously needs to be nerfed) either so fairly easy to use several skills to continue damaging them while they are in stealth, only lasts a few seconds unless its Mass Invis which is easily interrupted/

You don’t want to be in melee range all the time. So i don’t count that as one seeing as not everyone uses it, where as the others (minus Phase Retreat) everyone has access to and Phase Retreat i included as it doesnt require a a skill chain to use.

thief = low hp and low armor = 3 shot death
warrior = high hp and haigh armor = 3 shot 50% life
compare worrior to thief

some time i make solo the wall part in dredge path
stealth and run
bomb kit, rocket boots, elixir S
engy = factotum

o.O there are 2 engy turrets and u see only 1
this explain the spamming turret with 2 supply crate

atm i playing turrets on wvw i just want some boon (stability, swiftnes) and a breack stun to use
1 sec of stability on tumper turret tool belt skill it’s useless
for self defense i just put up some traits (alchemy IV and VI )
add some other conditions can be 1/2 solution
first we need the bug be fixed to see if turret fixed can deal more dmg and control

hmm what about when we picking up a turret we reduce CD and at the same time gain a random boon ???

engy bunker with bomb/nade/EG and swicth skill for run stealth or wathever needed
carrion equip and cleric accessories P/S with swap sigil of might and heal
condition spammer and heal/boon at the same time

for fractal i run mesmer and engy
but a group without engy or guardian for high lvl fractal it’s hard to end

every day a player, who go in WvW , run to kill or not to be killed by other players
every day a warrior, who go in WvW, run to kill or not to be killed by other players
every day isnt important who u are, 90% of the time u never kill a worrior when run and 90% of the time u try to run out of a warrior range u be killed
just dont run its simple XD

nade/hgh work on wvw roaming
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcAQFAUlspSXHvSiF87ICoC2loHPGlNZfe8WPIEC-j0BBIhAEEAZoFRjtspIasKbYqXER1GfFRrWIAfjBA-w

well just some boon on detonation is great
healing turret —→ detonation remove condition
rifle turret --—→ might
rocket turret —-—> fury
tumper turret —-—→ protection
net turret —-——> swiftness
flame turret —-—→ stability

or implement boon on turret or reduce the CD on pick up

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcIQJAqelIqyUnsSVF17IRoHJG0LW0jKrfH/pAdB-j0BBofBkgAgKAM1sIasFTFRjVZDT9iIqWKAZVGB-w

wtf turrets bug
turrets build work and got some fun in WvW (with team 3vs3)

transmute work for incoming conditions (yes if u got + conditions at the same time)
well got some problem for stability and for moving but for dmg is good
just try if u want

Bombsaway.7198:

Engie may seem beta to some (and may be) but perhaps in that we find that this class has more build and play diversity than any other class I have found. It requires extraordinary active play to balance combinations and kits but a lot of fun and quite well powered, actually.

Not quite sure what the complaint is really.

i play turrets this week on wvw (bunkerized) and got fun but turret dont got movement or breack stun or stability, i dont want play kit bunker every time in wvw or nade HgH
and never see a gadget build who worked (A.E.D its useless 40s CD untrait)

if Anet can give some boon on gadget and turret (and fix the know bug) we can talk on build diversity

well
ok to say engy is an high rank class to play but other class compared to engy got some improvement when angy got debuff

talk on basic weapon (rifle, pistol, shield)
other class deal condition, dmg and got some boon when they use some skill, engy got only condition and low dmg
for movement without kits or elixir we didn’t got any (some gadget but high CD )
we got bug never fixed and tips incorrects (EG count for elixir or not???)
build diversity = bunker or kit (nade, FT, bombs), SD, HgH when gadget and turrets cant played (no traits for gadget and bug for turrets)
racial skills useless (tool belt dont give any improvement on use and high CD)

i like to play engy, it’s fun but compared to other class engy got more restriction then other

swap kit is faster than other swap but u need to use the utility spot
ele use trait and most of ele trai 30 arcane all the time and at the same time got the utility skill free to use what they want (weapon, signet, ecc)
we only got tool belt skill if we use kits and if we run 30 on tool we dont get the same CD reduction

STRanger.5120:

Maskaganda.2043:

Let’s try to gather our feedback in one place again. Keep it simple, keep it short, keep it realistic.

my own:

-almost all of our cooldown reduction traits are just that, they dont give any bonuses like you see in every other class

Well, Engi is not the one with worst CD reduction traits at all Actually it’s great that when I’m playing my Engi, these traits are reducing at least CD of 10 skills, not like on my Elementalist.

However I agree that other classes have usually another benefit linked to the CD reduction which Ele and Engi lacks….

with ele if u go 30 in arcane trait u can got a massive CD on swap elements
we need use all utility skills for swap kit
engy and ele are not in the same boat on CD

same for HgH
elixir trait affect only utility elixir
EG is a kit and didn’t count as elixir
if work we can use a EG build HgH cond remover

try this setting

on calculator trait EG to HgH but not on game we know it
i say if traited, hmm well i must say if worked XD

EG —-—→ HgH if traited

on engy weapons swap there r a CD on swap sigil for overlook the OP swap on engy to abuse of some sigil (battle, intelligence, renewal, leeching)
if there aren’t any CD u can use swap for gain 25 stack of might without any traits or skills or permaleech and heal (your ally)

EG HgH
