Guild Wars 2

Zelthios.5902:

You caught me I sure am a mesmer thief warrior

You come with a single picture, no build, no video, no further information whatsoever.
I can roll a level 1 class of anything, do sPvP till im against a group full of kitten and endup doing well.

Now then, OP let’s talk nitty gritty, you want people to acknowledge your claims, post your build, and let people look at it.

I do love it when people post something and dont have something to back up their claims.

the OP is probably a warrior/thief/mesmer, talking kitten so we dont get buffed and he loses his free kills….

I know, which is why i called him out on it.
Either he puts his money where his mouth is, or is just another fanboy of class XYZ that got butthurt cause his mother ran away with the necro from next door.

I do love it when people post something and dont have something to back up their claims.

Oh i know, it’s just more elixirs give more stacks of might when used while having HGH, paired with your ECM = more damage overal then goggles.
I’d say test it out some time on a dummy in mists and see which one you like best

If your looking for pure DPS burts as your title suggest i would say : Why not take HGH as your top Alchemy trait?
Change your goggles to elixir C (ill epxlain in a few).
Now before a fight starts throw down elixirs and chugg a B and U.
Not only are you getting extra might from HGH, but your energy conversion matrix will literarly glow from it’s overtime.

sPvP guide, yes.
WvW guide, no
PvE guide, no.

Nonetheless the guide is good for those interested in sPvP.

Psaakyrn.5794:

I assume he IS planning to use the pistol, since has a trait which explicitly only works with pistols in his build (hair trigger).

Your looking at the wrong build, check his last post, the one i replied to.

Only thing i can say is that the “Reinforced Shield” trait (20 inventions), is currently broken and wont work if your holding a kit, so if your planning to use your elixir gun and/or bomb kit and never use your pistol, it’s a wasted trait until they fix it.

(you can check it yourself easily too, take trait, press H, check your toughness, equip kit, notice how you lost your 90 toughness.)

Same problem here, and it started the exact same way for me, joined a friend and ever since sound has been skipping in the same way you described it.

I like it that Kits don’t scale with weapons, that way always have 100% effectivity.
If you let them scale with weapons you would have to nerf them and you would need exotic weapons to be on pair with the previous strength.

You clearly haven’t played endgame yet.
If your kits dont scale… while other clases have a DPS increase with their weapons, we stay the same, got a nice shiny new exotic weapon? eh your ’nades still do the same, while that warrior over there is doing easily over 15k dmg with his new sword.

As for your claim to nerf first, do you have any numbers to back up your claims, or are they just some numbers you randomly pulled?

Go read the bug list <- best advice i can give you.
If your still interested then by all means go ahead.

I’d like to think this is a bug, thusfar no word on these reports yet, and it’s hard to believe Engineers are doing correct damage currently when compared to other classes.

Mortar scaling is non-existant, for an elite skill it does less damage and has less range then the simple grenade kit.
Weapon kits such as flamethrower and grenade etc, do not seem to scale properly with weapons.

The bomb kit feels clunky and out of place, im not saying the dmg is bad or anything, but to make it useful feels out of place and go against game mechanics, not to mention 99% of the endgame has groups of casters.

CptCosmic.3156:

the mine field toolbelt triggers the combo field 5 times and is alot easier to time right.

I have no problem doing it anymore after a day of WvWing, sPvPing and some dungeoning.
Guess it’s upto the player in the end

CptCosmic.3156:

2. AOE combo water field from the toolbelt with mine field => crazy amounts of heal

Actually the turret puts down the same AoE, just explode the turret 0.5 seconds after the top thingy starts spinning, once you get the timing you only need your turret for the combo.

Clearly OP isn’t too well versed with our class, since putting up my heal turret gives me a large heal + regen + another large heal from the combo, all of which are AoE, so im more usefull for my group AND healing alot more.

I’d like a “sniper” kit, a kit that is simple DPS output that evens us out with other classes.

The naga is crap, the buttons are way too tiny for my hands, but i’d take the naga-hex anyday

3. Rifles/Greatswords. So many people are “Why don’t we get rifles!? We’re rangers!” I have never once seen a ranger using a rifle. I’ve seen a hunter in WoW use a rifle. But never a Ranger. And our thing is not really technology. As for the greatsword, I’m going to have to say the implied dexterity of Rangers allow them to use such a weapon. But I’m not sure. I just know I really don’t have a problem with it.

“But we are Rangers!”
Proof :
Ranger wielding a Rifle

power for sure

I find Orr (the zone Arah is in) horrifying, i currently have tried a pistol condition spec, turret spec, Rifle spec, bomb spec, ’nade spec, Flamethrower/alchy, and now finally just going for a ’nade spec with turrets.

It’s been so bad that I too have been looking at just leveling up a different character so i can join in with my friends in the lootfest that is Orr.

I like ranged combat, and i figured perhaps the Engineer in GW2 who seemed ALOT like the Engineer from WAR (due to the class video) would be the character for me, but rightnow i wish i had gone for a ranger.

I think in overal our damage is subpar compared to others, our survivability needs upping aswell as alot of our skills need “fixing” since apperantly our kits are not scaling properly, not to mention kits do not use stats from your weapons. (meaning if you have 2 magic find pistols you wont have the % magic find when your using a kit, nice bug eh?)

Dont get me wrong, it’s a FUN class, i had fun all the way up to 80 with a few bad moments due to outdated gear, but @ 80 in all yellow and still sucking while other classes are ramping up exponentially in dmg and survivability makes me feel “meh” about having leveled my engineer instead of other classes.

Simply put : I’d like a way for my engineer to get the starter tools, be it the monocle or backpack or goggles somehow in the game.
Rightnow i deleted my multipack when i got the supposed upgrade but when i tried it on, there was no backpakc on my character…

I’d also would love to be able to get the monocle on my character.

Reading the internet says you can create a new character and put the wanted item from the enw character in the bank, and grabb it on your main character, sadly all these items are soulbound, so this is impossible as far as i know.

Heya peoples,

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to get any of the starter tools somehow, i chose the backpack, around level 40 deleted it(stupid lol).

And i would love to get my hands on a monocle for transmutation purposes.

Now most places i read were either old or wrong and said : Just make a new engi and put it in your bank relogg and grab it.
Which doesn’t seem to work since they are soulbound.

Is there still a way to obtain these?
I’d be willing to buy a character slot just to get these items, lol.
Thanks in advance,
-J

Same here, lvl 80 and ugh, it’s harsh @ 80, the Engineer doesn’t scale well it seems and at the top we feel far behind the curve, everyone else is doing amazing, yet we feel mediocre at best.

I love all the wow kids flooding the forums with their immature trash talk.
Back on topic : what Boererik says works perfectly fine, so hopefully that helps you OP.
