They didn’t kill the 100nade build.

Some might think they made it better.

You lose your nails procs on toolkit, but you get a 10 seconde grenade barrage.

Now,

They nerfed to the ground any build that was set around kit refinement.

Kit refinement conditions build are dead. Not like anyone cried about it.

But at the same time, the kit refinement nails proc from toolkit was very handy.

Overall a really weird nerf.

I’m pretty sure they don’t know about the jump-switch kit.

Ostricheggs : You are right.

They actually bufed 100 nade.

Which is kitten

I wanted to go away from 100nade, now they buff it and nerf every other kit refinement build? what the?

This is a slight buff by the way, not worth the assle to jump in the air each time you switch kit.

@Adamandium

Who are you fighting? Any pro oponent won’t let you lend the 100nade combo on you. Man, it has been a long time since another 100nade landed it on me.

And by the way, I was for the 100 nade nerf. You can check my history.

But this isn’t a 100 nade nerf. You can actually use it more often if I’m not mistaken! They might have buffed it.

They nerfed it the worse way they could : They nerfed every other kit refinement build, and only affected 100nade that now you can’t use the nails proc.

How is that a good nerf?

This is why I rarely come to these forums. So much doom and gloom. I do great without 100nade noobness in PVP and I do great without relying on 1 consumable in PVE/WVW, but these forums have shown me it’s pointless to try and be positive when anything in this game gets changed, or dare I say fixed.

I make builds that are effective without relying on 1 borderline broken aspect of the game. It’s actually pretty fun that way. Yes, no cooldown on life steal food was borderline broken, if you thought that was actually intended given how the rest of the game works… I’m sorry.

If you are always talking like that to people, no surprise you don’t come often.

Everything you don’t use seems to be for newb and kitten Everything that is different from you.

Didn’t you get my message about 100nade? The build will still work. The burst is still there. And a build with more then 20+ skills to use, and I mostly use all of them during a fight, is a newb build? A good playing won’t falll from a 100nade burst. You have to use everything.

So kit refinement was an OP ability? Please direct me to anyone that cried about it?

@Mister Mustard

The skills from the kit refinement already had internal cooldown. That was even more micro management to know when to use them.

Now you’ll have to jump like a kitten when switching kit.

Not counting the 2-3 build that just got erased from that.

Teldo and 5Gauge, our best Engineer, used it. Watch their video and tell me they have no skills. If you think 100nade was lame, you just didn’t know how to use it. using 25 different skills during a fight, with bait and rotation.

What pro build are you using good sir?

@Adamantium

It doesn’t even affect 100 nade really much. You can still one shot people.

Also, if you play high level tpvp, you should know 100nade is far from OP. Only a few engineer (5gauge and teldo) run it.

Multikit build are being hit hard by this. not 100 nade. You are really missing the point if you think that.

Oh and your flamethrower build, you think it’s only a buff? You knew why FT were powerful in PvE/WvW? Because of omnobery Pie.

Guess what they nerfed.

Engineer -> 1 of the 2 class nerfed?

Posted by: Kardiamond.6952

Kardiamond.6952

Did I misread something?

Why are we, the engineer profession, among the only class to receive a nerf?

Elem DD got a nerf, everybody expected it.

Engineer get a buff, but also a nerf on another type of build.

Sure we can by pass it for some build by jumping while kit switching (might be bug abuse). But for multikit build? Really?

Were we such a thread that we deserved to be among the only nerfed class?

Oh and about the flamethrower buff, don’t forget we also got our life stealing food nerfed, so that buff won’t be as good as people think.

@The Gate Assassin

A bit OP? Did anyone cry about engineer switching kits to cast spells?

Sure you can do it by jumping now, but how freaking annoying it was already.

Now Multi-kit build, which weren’t even strong, are nerfed to the ground.

What does that mean?

Take a kit, stay in it, and do average damage.

@TGA you might don’t care because you didn’t use it, but it’s not the case for everyone.

Jumping swapping is prolly a bug, who say it will stay?

Like each patch, they buff an aspect of engineer, just to nerf another one.

I shouldn’t post right now, I’m not happy lol.

Score in the lower tiers are reflected on the numbers each server can produce, nothing more. NSP has shown that it can dominate on multiple reset nights when the numbers come into town. Move along.

Edit: All of this whole server trash talking, “phases,” and plans for winning in score are silly. It’s like saying 20 midgets can whoop Brock Lesner in a fight. They surely can as they outnumber him 20 to 1, but they wouldn’t think they are strong as individuals for it.

Huh, I’m not used to this kind of post from you.

So you are saying, with even number, NSP would dominate Anvil Rock and BP?

That’s just speculation Miller, every server that is outnumbered in a match up say that. Anvil Rock used to say it when fighting NSP early on after the release.

I’m pretty sure if NSP and AR and BP would be equal population, it would be a pretty close match up.

Yeah NSP are good on week end, but who said it’s not because you outnumber us? Why when we win during the week, it’s because we have the number. But when you win during week end, it’s because you have the skills?

Elaborate please, is it that NSP got better individual player then both BP and AR?

So engis are the only class that we need to use a special skill in order to finish them? Else they should just go back up over and over? Thats dumb.

Each time I see you post, I fail to see any logic.

Downed engineer are a free kills. For the amount that use elixir R (Very few to be honest), attack them for 2 sec and they won’t be able to rez. Use a poison, what ever.

If they don’t have it, they have the worse downed state in the game.

I don’t feel bad in that case. They see you, they are in the middle of their zerg. They feel strong. They go for the kill, without watching behind.

They chase a bit, I turn back. They now realize they are alone.

I don’t feel bad, as there first intend was to zerg you.

Tho I will /bow just for the fact that they came to fight.

battering ram

in Engineer

Posted by: Kardiamond.6952

Kardiamond.6952

This skill is good. The reason why we don’t see it often is because we don’t have room for it.

A typical engineer will use at least one kit, one CC breaker. You are left with one utility, which is usually another kit or an elixir.

We have few build that have rooms for a non-CC breaker gadget. Especially since they have low sinergy for any traits we have.

The only build I have that use it is a SD build. And I love battering ram toolbelt skill. It hits hard!

About the utility itself, when it works it wonderful. But am I the only one that have it fail a lot during my fight? Sometime the enemy is right in front of me, and it still fail. Not sure what is the issue. The range is also really short.

Then what we see? PAXA + SPLT come in with culling, and kitten the AR force from behind. That’s the kind of thing that I’m sure doesn’t help NSP case.

And by saying this I have nothing again PAXA/SPLT, because I would do the same because I don’t care about score. But others from AR do, and they will switch to NSP BL when it happens.

“Why are they attacking us? This is not even their tower”
kitten PAXA, let’s go to NSP BL"

TBH, this happens in every borderland we go to. Last night we went to NSP to clean up enemy zergs and allow NSP to take back some of our towers. We wiped one zerg once and they went to another borderland immediately. This was with defending and taking our own towers, mind you. It looked like they went to AR, so we followed. Ran in to ALS and GOAT there. Fought boh groups maybe a couple of times, then never saw them again. The zergs just like easy PvD and avoid any confrontation with other players.

It bothers us greatly as it gets boring for us since even fighting zergs now are few and far between and we’re stuck killing the solo-3 man group roamers that don’t bail like the zerg. I have a lot of respect for those guys, but it’s not fun for us fighting them with our 5-8 people. That’s the problem that I see with AR and BP, there’s the roamers and the zergs and not much in-between. I’m not saying we never see other 5-8 man groups, it’s just once in a blue moon from you guys. And now that the zergs are leaving with the sight of us no matter what BL we are on, we’re stuck picking off the solo roamers. Hopefully in our new tier next week we will find more enjoyable fights.

I could relate to that.

I’m a 1 to 3 players roamer. I’m usually solo, tho at night I might have 2 Elem body guard with me.

It’s really hard to find any kind of other solo roamers, and it get boring to fight zerg. When they overextend, they don’t have the skill to fight back. Or they are 4-5 and too many for me to counter.

I have a hard time finding very small roamers groups like TBAG or CORE. Sometime Envy solo roam, but they are a mesmers guild, so it’s get really boring for me. And they are usually never alone.SPLT has a ranger soloing.

PAXA are waaay too many for me, and they don’t want to overextend.

It’s really hard for me to get a good night of fighting, yesterday was awful as got zerged to dead, tried really hard to get a 1on1 fight with you PAXA, and fought ENVY mesmer who only focus on me in group fight. And I can’t fight mesmer ahah.

See, I’m in the same position as you, but you are the zerg in my case.

I wish there was more solo roamers! Come on people make it popular!

NSP has a strong population, they just need to focus. Stop trying to be in all 4 lakes. Heck if they were sharper, they should take advantage of moments when BP is hitting ARBL, and start taking locations from AR in the AR BL.

Same with hitting BP at the same time you see AR hitting BP.

And avoid hitting EB at all cost, that zone is a waste to you at this point.

@kard…
BP really doesn’t do it. You may see BP in NSP taking a tower with the BO event. But you don’t see BP taking keeps over there.. or upgrading them to waypoint like you see AR has in NSP. =P

BP did have a big push in NSP this week tho, because some commander came back to the game, and tried to get everyone to rally behind his leadership again! and called the whole server to come attack NSP in PvDoor! SO AMAZING!!!!!

Well the only reason why you can’t go too far is because I’m there to keep your kitten off.

Joke, but seriously, It might be a timing thing. But When I play, I see BP as much as AR in NSP BL.

And yet, each time I check EB, BP are in NSP side taking tower.

BP win because they are usually stronger then us, and have a better coverage at night.

How many time did they come back at the end of the week with a night coverage of 10k points? like 2-3 times?

You think if we stop attacking NSP, you’ll stop attacking us? Man that doesn’t work like that.

I did some EB this week end, and each time we pushed BP in EB, NSP pushed in our side. It alwyas happen, that you want it or not.

We don’t live in a land of dream and unicorns, NSP won’t stop attacking AR. They will take advantage of Anvil Rock attacking BP. They will get to AR and stomp us from behind. Like they did last week when BP focused on us.

And why do you guys keep using the “BP does it, that’s why they win”.

They are always freaking attacking NSP. Each time I roam in NSP, BP is there taking your tower/keeps. I fought more BP zerg in NSP then NSP itself.

BP aren’t winning because they focus on us, because they don’t. They are winning because they have a better coverage/zerg guilds.

I would also like to add that Anvil Rock always came really really close to 1st place, and 1 or 2 time we got the first. So I fail to see how BP are doing so much better?

Stop your vendetta again Anvil Rock. Everything you say about us, could be said about BP. Yet you only attack AR about it.

Don’t know where the hate come from, but with your people trolling AR commanders on the forum you sure doesn’t help your case.

@Rob

I roam each night, and I switch between BP and NSP BL.

Each night we have people pushing in both BL, the difference is in NSP it works, in BP we get pushed back.

There is nothing we can do about it.

Should we focus all our force on BP? While they can send a low % of theirs to NSP and get easy points (easy because they have more ressources, nothing about skills) and win? WE can’t do that. That would be kitten from us.

I have witnessed a lot of attack from AR on BP this week.

I wonder what you would do in the same case Rob?

By the way, another thing thaqt doesn’t help. While a commander from AR was attacking a BP tower in BP borderland, I decided to join them. We were around 10-15, fighting about the same number of BP, but for once we were winning.

Then what we see? PAXA + SPLT come in with culling, and kitten the AR force from behind. That’s the kind of thing that I’m sure doesn’t help NSP case.

And by saying this I have nothing again PAXA/SPLT, because I would do the same because I don’t care about score. But others from AR do, and they will switch to NSP BL when it happens.

The NSP QQ continues. Seriously, guys, you are embarrassing yourselves and your server.

NSP is like an annoying younger brother that can never quite compete with his older siblings; instead, he spends all of his energy looking for attention, whining, blaming others for his failures, and making excuses.

I’m sure that you will now start complaining that you don’t have the numbers. Well, join the club.

I assume you are AR?

We’ve beaten you quite a few times.
We’ve also been in a higher tier from you.
Don’t you think that we’re maybe the older sibling whos taken a few too many hits and now his little brother thinks he can take his place.

If it takes two servers to push us out of this tier then it is no battle lost.
None of the three servers could compete with that. Never mind the lessor one.

But on a side note.
Not having to Command is great.
And being a new colour would also be great.
Attack from Red keep gets very boring week after week.

@Rob

Your attitude changed since the beginning of those match up.

I’m happy you will go down a tier, maybe then I will see the old Rob come back.

And I thought we were done with the double team thing already. NSP and BP tried it on AR last week, it doesn’t work.

The only reason NSP BL is always under attack, it’s because it is easier to take then BP or AR BL.

I roamed in both Borderland yesterday, and while NSP had a good zerg in their, they didn’t have any upgrade and they still had less people then BP.

On BP BL, as soon as you attacked a camp, you would see 15-20 players come and chase you.

Man I have been zerged so bad yesterday in BP BL, it was terrible. They have so many people in their BL that they can send 15 players to chase 1-2 roamers in the water south of the camp, where there are no objectif at all.

NSP aren’t going down a tier because they are double teamed, NSP is going down a tier because they don’t have the number/power to stay there.

Simple as that.

double teaming, hiting the weak, zerging ect. Is there anything you guys didn’t whine about yet?

I feel like a part of the vocal population of NSP on the forum only post to whine about something.

I also whine from time to time, but man next time I will do it, I will remember to not push it so much.

Just wait for someone to jump in and answer “blah blah blah hundred nades”. There’s not much you can do against them because Engineers (in most cases) lack the burst power to knock them down. They’ll just go invisible (It’s not really stealth) and run if they get hurt too much. I use bombs and thumper turret to keep from being an easy target.

bla bla blah hundrad nades.

Here I said it.

Since running this build, I have no issue with thief. And they rarely get the chance to run as they think they are winning until I combo them and they lie on the ground. Bait them by waiting before the combo.

Wild bill style are a bit harder, but still pretty much a win. Dodge the CnD, heal as soon as you can, use bandage, use your CC on them. They rarely ever bring CC breaker, if they do make them waste it. Only use antidote when having a good amount of bleeds.

Wild Bill fights are pretty cool, and is like a chess match. Really interresting!

I’m the blond and the azura with gold dreds. I’m pretty sure you’ve met both of my mesmers.

Just be happy your name isn’t Lukain Darkblade. Then you really see us chase him down. I will part a sea of ar/bp zergs just to get a chance to spike his eye.

Well you couldn’t chase me down farther then my spawn point. And I remember your asura, was sure a pain in the bottom.

Why chase Lukain Darkblade? He is a fairly good pvpers, did he do anything?

@Spets the MilkBandit

So AR got no descent player? I would be happy to hunt your zergs. So where are you guys PvDooring? I don’t remember seeing any ZoS around?

I expect you guys to come 1 by 1 to me, since you are asking Anvil Rock to do the same.

The engineer's dependency on slot skills

I agree that we can’t use our uitlity as we want because we can’t only rely on our weapon skills, like an Elem can. Like you said, an Elem can have 3 defensive utilities, while keeping 20 weapon skills.

I disagree that our kit are lack luster. I think, right now, Engineer got a lot better in this game meta.

We are not at Elem DD, mesmer, guardian level, but we are still efficient.

We need a bit of a push up, but overall I’m happy to be where we are at.

Once they balance the over the board class, it’s should be good.

Sure we have to work harder to get things down, but that’s why you play an engineer. To have more options. Anet can’t balance a class because it’s harder, or every elite player would go for the harder class to have better result.

I love Elixir X

Tho it’s not as good as Supply drop, which is a really good Elite.

And mortar is really weak.

@Ayestes

The damage output of mortar is so low, except for the number 5, I don’t find it to be really effective.

It’s not that bad, I sometime use it for fun on the gates. But I can simply do better with Grenades.

Also it’s kinda buggy in keep fights. Sometime on breakable object, it doesn’t damage any player near.

Man nothing again you, but I hate that style of playing.

Just stack in a bunch, spam your AoE and wait for the bags.

If people like it, good. But I think this kind of gameplay just drive players skills to the ground.

I’m a roamer, and I won’t take any pride in killing a zerg players 1on1. When a player overextend from a zerg, you know it will be an easy fight.

They don’t dodge, they spam the same skill, they keyboard turn. They rarely heal.

Sorry I got myself into a random rant, but I’m not a fan.

As such, I don’t think you can judge a build because he uses Berserker gear. I think he has a very interresting build. He might also not run in a zerg like you. Berserker are a good option in WvW, if you know how to use your defensive cooldown and your dodge.

Good player something seems to be tanky even in berserker, only because they know when to dodge, block, use LoS.

@ManCaptain

Mesmer is prolly the 2nd or 3rd best down in the game.

the number 1 mind blast, does huge damage on power build. With a glassy build, I got hit for 1.5k from mind blast spam. One thousand and freaking five hundred damage on a downedstate auto attack. Not even counting the kitten confusion they put on you, which does enourmous damage in WvW.

Their number 2, is a 95% sure interrupt. You can’t be countered by stability, blind, invul ect. Only if you do it too early or play vs a good shadow step thief can you get stomped without interrupt. In WvW, with the culling, it take a while for the mesmer to appear.

And the number 3 just hit like a trucks. You better not be low HP when they cast it, as it can hit for 4-6k damage.

Engineer downed state is bad, not because number 3, which is awesome. But because the number 2 is vulnerable to everything. Any effect like blind, invul, evade, stability, pet block, quickness stomp (cast time), stealth ect. Only Warrior have it as bad. But at least they have a hard hitting #1, and they have vengeance which is awesome and one of the best number 3.

Use Omnonoberry pie.

Heals you on crit.

Flamethrower is the best weapon for this food, especially versus multiple opponent. If they have retaliation, you will prolly cancel the damage with your heal on food.

What can we do against condition builds?

in Engineer

Posted by: Kardiamond.6952

Kardiamond.6952

What?

409 is a really good condition remover. I don’t see how you can want more then that.

Conditions aren’t supose to be removed right away. If it was like that, condition specced class would be useless.

Sure you can remove condition, but you’ll always have some damaging you anyway.

I use a build that only have one condition removal (med kit), and I don’t have much issue with condition heavy class.

AAaaa,

I didn’t check the score for a long time, but it seems like NSP is going down a tier at the end of the week.

I’m personaly not happy about it, as I knew I could find roamers in NSP, but really few from BP. Each time we hit a BP player, like a GOAT player, we call this BEE time. Because it’s like hitting a nest of bees, like 10+ more players will come to rez, they are never alone. NEVER ALONE. :P

But back on NSP, I’m gonna miss you guys! Hope you kick some kitten down there and come back with us!

I will miss my weird relation with PAXA. While I tend to respect them, Jscull is so random sometime I wonder if it’s healthy for him to post on this board. By the way I’M still having nightmare about your char mesmer

Those ENVY guys, oh man the hate for me! What’s the deal! There may be 15 NSP guys, and 15 AR guys, but be sure if those 2 ENVY mesmer are there, they will go directly for me behind the line. And they will bring their DOWN friends and wait at me at the spawn. Come on guys, you two mesmer can prolly down me in 1on1, no need for numbers.

P.S : I didn’t see much of those DOWN guys, but I hope to fight them before friday, they seems good!

SPLT, for their gentleman behavior and high end pvp skills. Love to fight you guys!

CORE, prolly the best pvpers I fought, they might be from BP tho? Don’t remember. But you kicked my kitten in duels and did it with class!

I don’t want to fuel Teviospy, but, personnaly, I have yet to find a roamer group of Sekz. Tho I saw group of 12-15 players of them going around. I actually hoped to find them in a smaller group to test them!

By the way Teviospy, I also have yet to see you? Yet with your tanky build, I would remember fighting you. Are you always on EB? I don’t like EB for roaming, too zergy, and there is always a sieging hitting you. Some people seems to stay 24/24 on siege.
Come on NSP or BP borderland, lots of fun there!

Good day, I am Splat’s bad Charr Guardian,

I don’t tend to read the forums too often and reply even less so I didn’t get the chance to respond in the last thread, sorry!

Man I fought SPLT lately, and like I said before they have the best Ranger I ever fought.

But I’m not sure they are still considered a small group, the last time I fought them they were a lot. That night we had a 4 players roaming group, but fighting them was way too much ahaha.

Props to them, I don’t know if they are a new group, but it’s cool to fight some new face!

Jscull I didn’t see your group for a loooong time. Do you ever join NSP bl anymore?

[Splt] has been running as long as we have. They run 3-4 people a night. That’s it. So once again your math is kinda up in the air. [PAXA] has at least a 5 man every night on some BL.

Once again? When did I wrote about any kind of number? It’s the first time I talk about number, and If you whisper the norm ranger from split, I’m sure he wll be able to confirm they were a lot when we fought them. He bowed to me afterward, so I’m pretty sure he will remember about it.

I will give you one thing : Maybe they were not all SPLT, it’s hard to check with the culling involved.

Jscull is correct in that we’ve been around since release, and we typically have 3 people in WvW each night. That said we have a small guild roster of friends that mostly PvE but will join us in WvW from time to time, so sometimes we’ll have 4-5, other times 8-10.
We like to roam around and pick fights and have a good time, bringing what we can when we can. We just also happen to prefer a smaller party most times.

In regards to the night you speak of we were indeed running 8 or so, give or take. I had to tell a couple guildies not to overextend on you or they’d get 1-shot, I then proceeded to attempt to 1v3 you and 2 thieves for a couple seconds and got myself blown up. It was rather amusing.

Thanks for the shoutouts and props, for what it’s worth the ranger you speak of said you’re the highest damage person he’s ever fought.

P.S. None of us really like to 1v1, except the ranger when the rest of us aren’t on, so no offense if we gang up on you.

Aahah no worry about ganking me, I’m used to it and I don’t expect group of people to disjoin just to fight me.

It’s a pleasure to fight some ganksquad that have some respect.

See ya on the battle field!
