I’m down with this to be honest, gives more variety. Would create some interesting variety in stat builds.
I’m a bit tired of the 5-6 sets of set stat types from items. It’d be cool if I could just stack ALL Stamina sometimes on my Rares or something. I would like to see this.
Come on nobody agrees with me?
and while I’m at it, give us a Sniper Kit and an Iron Man suit Kit already
excellent, im all for throwing my money at ArenaNet, they made an excellent game.
I was reading around and found out that Charr Racials allowed any profession to use a Charzooka, which is pretty much a kitten Bazooka, and also call in an artillery strike.
and WHAT’S THIS?! HIDDEN PISTOL?! SHRAPNEL MINES?!
Come on ArenaNet, I feel like this is all pretty Engineer stuff, pretty kitten Engineering.
Why can’t the other 4 races run around with an awesome bazooka or call in an airstrike?!
I’m fine with that, but is that for reals or are you joking.
I just want to know Arena Net, will there EVER be a remote chance of allowing us to change our character names in the future?!
I just want to know Arena Net, WILL you guys EVER consider letting us change our character names. Is there ever going to be even a chance of it?
I personally have been able to take on mobs of 10 or more with the Bomb and Grenade kit.
ive been thinking about maybe just taking out the Condition Damage state and start stacking some +Healing instead.
But honestly, anybody have any idea how much Toughness one needs in general? I feel like you only need so much toughness before all it comes down to is Vitality.
So I just hit 80, and I’ve been stacking these 3 stats mainly, Power, Vitality, and Toughness, with some Condition Damage whenever I can. I understand that Survivability is important for any class, especially for Engineers whether in PvP or PvE.
So my question to you is, how much Toughness should I have at 80 for my Engy? I figured there is never such a thing as to much Vitality, but I think there probably is a certain amount of Toughness I need to survive most criticals.
Any thoughts, ideas, or numbers to throw at me?
Currently my engy has about 22,000 HP average when equipped with his normal weapons, and about 20,000 without his weapons.
I rotate usually in PvE through my Main Weapon, then to Bombs, then Grenades, Rinse and Repeat. I usually have a Turret as my 3rd. Potions don’t do much for me since I realized stats and buffs don’t matter all that much in the long run to me when I play naked.
I don’t see the point of playing naked in PvP considering armor is pretty much free. But then again I don’t play alot of PvP. But I still find going all Tough and Vita more useful then even bothering using power, precision, or condition damage. I’ve gotten pretty good at maneuvering while lobbin ’nades, so I usually just keep a Rifle on in PvP for escape situations.
So it seems like Arena Net doesn’t want to make any major changes to the Engineer Class, even after we’ve voiced our complaints, opinions, and ideas, repeatedly time and time again.
Hell, it would seem like they don’t WANT us to be happy. Alot of the medium gear seems more appropriate for Assassins or Rangers really, and I’m not seeing to many nice looking options in terms of pistols or rifles for us.
And let’s be honest here, we TOTALLY use our kits way more often then we do with our Pistols or Rifles. It’s not like STATS or nothin affect our damage output with our kits.
I realized this…and I decided to go all Stamina and Toughness originally on my Engineer. But then one day while puggin it in a dungeon, and dying repeatedly and wasting money on repairs, I realized that if I was just to use my kits and turrets at all times, I didn’t even really need armor!
So I stopped my pug, and took the time to explain to them what I was going to do, and that I wasn’t trolling. And surprise surprise! They accepted what I was going to do and went along with it.
So I stripped down to my boxer shorts and started Grenade Lobbin and Bomb Layin away. And to my surprise, I didn’t go down as much as I thought I would, and I was still doing the same amount of damage, though with a bit more running around for the comedic effect. We finished the dungeon in no time, and I took this outdoors.
I found out PvEing outdoors naked was pretty much the same thing. Sure I had to retrait to be a bit more sturdier, but I was STILL killing mobs at the same efficiency as I was before WITH armor. And I barely ever actually went into a downed state.
So I realized, Arena Net just wants Engineers to play naked. Because it works. Seriously, give it a shot, trait into Inventions and Alchemy, be a bit creative, go into Explosives a little bit. Playing has never been so hilarious, and efficient and money saving.
And I love the haters that yell at me for playing naked in dungeons. Cause I’m still doing just as well with or without armor.
WHO’S WITH ME! PLAY NAKED!
