Guild Wars 2

Let me first start by stating this: this is a question, and only a question, thrown out to people who play thieves in a PvP or WvW setting.

I’m an engineer for my main, I personally have no problem with backstab or really anything else thief related (but then again, I dont know much about you guys).

The question is this: In a relatively (as much as you can muster) objective manner, do you think stealth is a little too easy to use as an “oh s&#t” button, or, is it where it needs to be because the class is squishy.

Again, I know very little about thieves, having never really played one, so I’m trying to learn a bit. In my personal experience, it seems that sometimes it really is a bugger to kill you guys because of the stealth ability.

I’m sure I’ve set off a fire somewhere, but please keep it civil, i really am trying to learn lol

Honestly though, you had to see the underwater grenade nerf coming. It was way op.

Is anyone else noticing their bullets from normal rifle shots going THROUGH the enemies? Like the animation of the bullet keeps going even after you hit the mob.

Rifles are piercing by default, pretty legit, I love it.

Thank you for this thread, I was super getting tired of all the hate.

I love the jack of all trades feel of the engineer.
I love the survivability/utillity of the class in WvW – its utterly glorious!
I love Elixers, they crack me up, i’ve come to really enjoy the randomness, use of them.

Launching my asuran engineer around the map using rocket boots, overcharged shot, or anything else that sends me flying always makes me smile. I enjoy the hilarity that the class provides.

Man, people will just keep hatin. What I think people need to start doing, instead of complaining that it has too short of range for its skills, is use it as a shotgun, and be glad it has the long range capability of a rifle for its auto-attack (and a fairly powerful one at that). Remember, the engineer is ALL about positioning/control, that is the class.

Im not going to lie, I would love another kit like a sniper (maybe an elite one!? ha i wish) – kits are the most awesome part of the engineer. I really doubt that a change to the current base weapon skills is ever going to happen. I personally love the engineer, its my favorite class by far, I do wish blunderbuss had at least the range of melee, and that the net moved a little faster.

Overall, I love the class, ESPECIALLY how much thought it takes to use the engineer effectively. I think people should spend a little (or a lot) more time messin with all of the possible builds before screaming “broken”. Idk if this hate is happening with every class, but no class can do everything awesomely…..thats why there are classes remember?

Toughness (inventions) is the turret line. Check it out. Im currently running with 20-30-20 in firearms, inventions, and elixers respectively with power, cond dmg, and vitality gear. Using flamethrower/elixer gun, healing turret/elixer h, flame turret, rifle turret, and supply drop. You can take relatively large groups in Orr- its a blast.

Havent tried it in pvp, and i def wont in wvw, against players its a very limited build.

I agree fullheartedly.
This is something that we’re really missing out on.
