Guild Wars 2

coro.3176:

There’s just no good option for it right now:

They remove the delay, and you end up not getting the overcharge when you activate it in combat (or you have to be SUPER CAREFUL to not double-tap heal, or you get nothing but a weak 2k heal, no condi cleanse, and no field – sometimes you need to spam the button when the game is being laggy).

They just need to git gud, anet shouldn’t kitten us all up because of people with no awareness. I used to deploy a turret and then immediately detonate to knock people back and now I have to wait 0.5 seconds which is a lot for a fast paced game..

Example ^

And what should I do with that? It’s the player’s fault for detonating before the overcharge and that isn’t a reason for anet to put a delay between deploying and detonation.
Now if you want to detonate your turrets to deal damage and knock foes back you’d have to wait extra 0.5 seconds, this is absurd.

Now you can’t combo blast, it feels clunky having to wait…

Engineer is in desperate need for a few seconds of unblockable, maybe utility goggles could provide one.

oh yeah that sounds like a better one (and probably more reasonable) than mine

Right? Most of our attacks are projectiles, lots of classes have projectile stopping skills and on top of that they can also block and then maybe invuln skills. This puts us in a very bad situation because not only that our skills are avoidable and we need a good CC (which we don’t have enough good ones) to apply good damage, our opponents can evade, block, reflect projectiles and become invulnerable.

Just having a skill that gives you unblockable attacks for a few seconds will fix most of the core engineer’s problems.

alain.1659:

Yes I can. Stealth, rocket boots, run away. Keep running until ele cannot be seen. Ta-daa. You had a problem, an elementalist, now you do not have a problem. Simple logic

Haha, I knew you’d say that ^@^, I hope we get something (either buffs or a good elite spec) to give us a chance to win against elementalist focus :/

alain.1659:

The ability to provide solution to every problem.

I bet you can’t provide a solution to a 1v1 scenario against fresh air s/f elementalists.

I hope we won’t get non-power stuff man… at LEAST some skills should be good for power builds if not the weapon itself

EdwinLi.1284:

You should notice that they did not show the right hand in the art when all leak images showed both hands for the other professions.

We most likely are not seeing the full art and there maybe a sword on the right hand as well.

Or pistol :<

Grimwolf.7163:

I think what the engineer needs most is a mace, with skins for wrenches and stun batons.

Yes, engineer needs more CC skills, I was thinking rifle #2 could also stun for 1 second since overcharged shot doesn’t do kitten at all most players have more the enough stun breakers or defensive skills so OS is useless and power engineer needs CC to get good damage in

A kittening OFFHAND sword ? I really hope you can dual wield it god kitten it.
Nah I’m just kidding, as long as the traits and skills that come with it are good I’m game..

Electric melee staff please ahh the kittenbilities

I know I’m speaking for the whole crew here when I say :
To hate anet and always complain on the forums about how bad the class is

When the black screen happens I can press F12 and it shows the menu and that’s just it..

This build will definitely be eaten by s/f fresh air elementalists, all you have are projectiles and chance for Rampage which will be useless because you can’t condi cleanse the blindness. cripple and chill.

>.< kitten all this!!

Hopefully, but even if they care, it will take a long time for them to finish their work on the engi, there’s just too many bad traits/skills etc

I’m not using any apps I didn’t use before the black screen issue.

shalev.1694:

Here’s what i did. I updated the drivers, fixed the game client, changed from native to subsample and even uninstalled and reinstalled the game. The screen blackouts STILL happen. At this point i have no clue as to what the problem is. All i know is that the issue came soon after the latest living world update and continues still.
The rest of my comp and all it’s uses work just fine, even when playing other games.
I do not use any 3rd party software such as dps meters, reshade, etc.

If you guys have any idea what i can do besides buying a new comp, i’m all ears.

That’s exactly what I did and it still happens… I play for 5 minutes and I try to log out to characters screen and it shows a black screen. I choose my character and then minimize the game until it loads and after a few minutes I open up the game only to see a black screen.
I don’t know what to do anymore at this point

engineers need the old traiting system, 3 trait lines is NOT enough for the engineer, alchemy is almost a necessity and so is tools line, but we don’t need the full trait line so we lose traits we could’ve had.. the patch that destroyed build variety also destroyed engineer class along the way

You have to pick specific skills if you want to trait SD… so many wasted opportunities

dath wot ah said ! anet fix dis shet plez !!! static discarg nid wurk with elixr bilds

It still crashes for some reason, this is really frustrating

I updated my drivers, not sure if it fixed the problem but it’s not crashing for now

No it happens even when I am afk in heart of the mists too..

It was a bit overpowered, your attacks cannot be blocked, reflected or destroyed.
Your pets are affected too, there are some pets that deal 6k damage on two skills even if you get LOS’d you could use your pet and longbow #5. Also when you have traited SOTW, you automatically use the skill at 50% hp or something like that I forgot.

Game keeps crashing after a few minutes, it shows nothing but black.
I tried lowering the graphics and it didn’t do anything, any ideas ?

Twigifire.8379:

If they were to swap power wrench with any last tier or mid tier trait, so that it could be taken in conjunction with power wrench, it’d be instantly playable imo.

Playable ? maybe yes, it will still force us to pick kitten skill set…

When I think about it, we don’t have a choice when we choose SD, we simply have to pick the same old skill set. If SD worked with every toolbelt skill it would open up lots of new build and I won’t say no to a HGH+SD build.

They shouldn’t be projectiles at all..
I get that my suggestion could make it strong, being instant hit and non-projectile and all but they could change it like Lightning Arc, they will get hit instantly but they would be able to dodge or block before they take lots of damage.

If SD were to be similar to ele lightning strike, there won’t be anymore missing the target because you used a toolbelt skill that doesn’t aim at your target. Plus engis could really use that non-projectile extra damage.
It could visually look like AED toolbelt skill but with longer range.
This way engineers wouldn’t have to pick specific skill set every time they want to trait SD. I really hope Anet considers this..

I keep searching for topics related to the unblockable nerf
come un guis wers ma solt ?

Kaizoku.1298:

Guys, quit it with these lame posts they are never going to happen.

/15salts

Hey guess what, the very thing I suggested to happen is starting to happen. Flamethrower has been changed for purity of purpose, and is now purely a condi weapon.

Now Anet just needs to keep doing this for the rest of the kits.

What will never happen is what the OP said

Guys, quit it with these lame posts they are never going to happen.

Yes, the will be a few changes… like toolkit #2 damage increase 5% and that’s it.

Phineas Poe.3018:

Something else I was thinking about, which I think would be a really easy fix for core engi, is changing Utility Goggles so that it’s no longer a blind immunity but that it makes our attacks unblockable similar to Signet of Might. That change alone would open up so many opportunities for us, and maybe make Tools a viable trait line in PvP again.

I’m fine with only this… Engineer class needs an unblockable effect…

No, make them non projectiles

Kaizoku.1298:

It doesn’t matter if the kits are stronger… It will help you if you don’t want to use the kits. Increasing damage is always good.

If that’s your motto why bother playing an Engineer?

Well, who said you must use kits in order to be an engi, sure, they are our most strongest option, but why keep feeding what is keeping us away from trying different ideas?

This guy gets it…

It doesn’t matter if the kits are stronger… It will help you if you don’t want to use the kits. Increasing damage is always good.

“on top of that, you lose the passive effect!”
80-ish regen kappa big deal

Place your mouse in the center of your screen, hold RMB and throw them (you will have to keep your opponent in the center of your screen too).

Well it depends on your build, I use the signet CD reduction trait and SotW on 50% hp trait, and then the other signet that gives you movement speed on passive and 50% damage on your next attack if you activate it.
My mauls deal 8-10k easily if I land with the 50% damage buff and 5-6k without. You can’t block it, you either blind. dodge or proc invuln skills. 3sec CD on maul btw.

Now, I change my pet to wolf/hound so it will do the knockdown skill, right before my pet lands the knockdown skill I use the 50% damage signet and I maul them. IF I get blinded, my pet will still deal 6k and I will still have another chance to land maul but without 50% since it only has a 3sec CD and SotW is 8 seconds + another one at 50% hp.

Holy kitten I started thinking what if they give us a condi weapon/elite spec next expansion ? PLEASE ANET NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo

Don’t get me wrong, I WAS the ranger player and I kittening enjoyed wrecking my opponent but 8 seconds unblockable with a 48 CD (traited) plus the trait that uses SoW when your health drops below 50% is a bit too much for squishier classes wouldn’t you say ?
it felt like I overpowered him but if this is intentional I welcome it

Krispera.5087:

Just tested, it makes unblockable.

Wow ! Hope it’s intended ANet, it’s a good buff !

Makes it overpowered it isn’t good buff, I go through blocks, reflections, and projectile destructions.. I was basically unstoppable having the trait AND the skill. Also makes it harder for anyone to kite you since the skill gives you movement speed and increases your damage output

Would help, I wouldn’t say no to a one handed power weapon

We DO need a 1 handed power weapon, I just hope it’s coming soon

Then I woke up and thought toolkit was changed to charzooka kit but then I realized it was a dream…

Engineer class got reworked

-we only had F1-2

-tool kit was gone

-grenade kit #3 was changed to tool kit shield

-almost every trait was different, I remember some traits the were very good for grenade kit but I forgot what they were, the names of 2 traits and they were vauva-something and vau-something… lol, they had something to do with grenade damage output and another weird kitten

-F2 was the harpoon gun, at first I didn’t believe it would work on land but it did work and I bombarded the chat with excitement.
