Guild Wars 2

The wvw mortar is getting a nice buff, its too bad devs have forgotten we have an obslete mortar too :/

And btw devs, reducing cooldown on skills does not make it more viable if you are planning on doing that again, that was furthest from the thing we have asked for; it needs to get its jam fixed and a damage,range or mortar velocity incease.

If they can get all the old tonics to also be usable in combat they might just become…fun. Who doesn’t wanna run around as a princess doll wielding a flamethrower?

No pistols but on the bright side we did get 3 rifles http://dulfy.net/2013/08/06/gw2-champion-weapon-skins/

. . . on a semi-related note? Who is voicing Scarlet Briar?

Tara Strong

So in other words we got Twilight Sparkle trying to kidnap people and bombing cities :O At least it makes sense now how she could have graduated from the asura colleges in record time :P

Oh I was surprised to see I had already replied O.o ha but anyways since we dont have access to stability or stealth we just gotta rely on our traits to pull for us. Lucky for us we got stabilized armor and protection injection.

And jan try elixir s on that jp. worked for me.

Im assuming you havent played since January.

1. We have always had builds with good damage for pve
2. Yes
3. Nades will probably never get target lock
4. Elixir u. elixir s, always prepared (LOL)
5. Rocket boots, leg mods, sitting duck, acidic elixirs, surprise shot, jump shot
6. For pver Ill still say zerker

I’m more bothered by the fact that we can’t even sell any of the recent stuff made by crafting…its all account bound. If it was sellable the time gate wouldn’t bother me as much; high demand for crafted items to let crafters make some money, people who don’t wanna wait so much can spend money and just buy it quicker – everybody wins.

If you can’t stop yourself from farming after you have already made 400g+ gold then its just your own fault. Be satisfied with what you have and just go do a daily or something.

It got hit so bad back in the days and they never undid the overnerf. Even the explosion sucks, it doesnt do bleed damage its just power damage :/

I am pretty grateful that anet finally listened to us and gave us not one but two engineer armor sets to pick from, and I feel aetherblade armor is the best looking engineer armor for charrs.

As for weapons it would have to be the aetherized set

Ive never seen this problem, people just wp when I try to res them actually O.o.

and @ Mistaright:
Its a public dome you really just can’t claim it for yourself, thats just silly.

Sylentir.8913:

I’ll start: Pistol/Shield, Elixir H, Thumper turret, Elixir Gun, Elixir C, and Supply Drop.

Looks like someone just wants a new build lol

10 explosives: Incendiary powder
30 inventions: Protective shield, elite supplies, reinforced shield
20 alchemy: Protection injection, fast acting elixirs
10 tools: speedy kits

Settlers armor with runes of undead.

Thats what I would go with if I had to use that build. Although I hate using the shield, I would get reinforced shield cause not much of else in inventions if you aren’t running multiple turrets. Seems highly defensive so I just threw in 10 in explosives so you would have enough conditions to kill stuff.

Okay here is mine: p/s, healing turret, Throw mine, elixir r, utility goggles

Psychol.5783:

C’MON PPL! why so low numbers? probably major of farmers are still farming and don’t have time to reply here In my case I made about 600g but I’m still farming but it’s very hard because of boredoom, even Liadri seems more interesting now LoL.

You said it yourself its because of boredom >.< Man I want that 600g but I can only take so much farming at a time

Got my armor and toughness confused but still 2000 x.01 is 20?

So I would get…an extra 30% crit damage, thats basically full points in my tools trait line lol Interesting idea but I doubt it would be exactly like that. Maybe more like .5%

sorrow.2364:

Your arguments make no sense.
It doesn’t matter that you have to sit at low HP, since the damage of condition class is still low. Being invulnerable completely to conditions at unlimited duration is still an horrible design choice. What’s even worse is that this capability is given to only a profession in the Whole game.

What so engineers cannot have niches that only they can do? We don’t make clones, we dont fear, we don’t have max hp/armor, we dont spam stealth and we run around with only average base hp and armor. But considering you are mad because only we got that trait, I smell jealousy more than anything.

sorrow.2364:

There was three videos in the last topic about the matter which clearly showed why that trait is broken.

No they did not “clearly” show why it was broken. We did point out everything wrong in those videos. Plus we did show our own vid showing someone downing with ar on.

Its always been that way since beta. We think its a bug, but since its never been fixed I think the devs probably treat it as a built in feature.

While we are tossing ideas around for torment, why not replace explosive shot with it instead? The normal short 2 second duration should still keep it balanced for when fighting multiple people like in zerg fights but if it gets replaced with torment, explosive shot might actually be useful in 1v1s instead of doing the sad damage it has atm

I just started farming him today, but the thing is my main was an engie so I had to spend a bit on buying zerker armor for my thief, then I had to learn how to play him while killing deadeye (which involved a lot of deaths). But in the end I still made 15g for about 2-3 hours of playing so I’m happy

Chaba.5410:

Camera, damage and radius, the fact that it can be aoe’d before you even have a chance to use it, range, and some say also the lack of a close-range defense mechanism.

It’s not a 1v1 weapon, clearly. It’s also clearly – and I hope this is clear just from reading what the skill does, if not I am losing faith in humanity here :S – not meant to be a straight-up-combat weapon.

It’s a Mortar.
One issue is, as you say, the camera. Being a weapon which – unlike the grenade kit – can viably fire over cover, it would need to move higher. Not further out, just higher.
But beyond that? Hell, most of the time I’d argue it’s not a weapon meant to be used yourself. You can supply someone with a 1500 range weapon, that’s fairly huge on a lot of classes.

Your kidding right? Its not a mortar. Its a Toy.

Decklan.7540:

Would any of you be really upset if we had torment?
Probably not.

You want to stick it on box of nails? That skill is so awful to begin with, how about giving it a much shorter cast time first?

It would be a small buff that would give engineers the opportunity to apply aoe burn and torment on a short cooldown.

But you know, I guess we can all just stick to grenades for condition pressure instead of trying to get arena net to wake up and give us more build options.

P/P should be tier 1 condition pressure in my opinion because of what it sacrifices. Right now the best condition pressure an engineer can put out is either through grenades, or Pistol/Shield! Yes P/S! Why? Cus you can cheese the runes of perplexity lack of cooldown and get two interupts, getting you to 10 confusion stacks fairly quickly, then you still have prybar and the proc from the four piece bonus (maybe get to 16 confusion stacks). On top of that you still have the pressure from your pistol 1, 2, and 3. All you lose is blowtorch and glue.

If arena net wants to buff weapons that aren’t doing their job properly then they should take a hard look at off hand pistol.

Its because box of nails is awful that we would like to see it sticked in there if we ever do get torment. (And funny enough it got this way from being nerfed)

And maybe p/p currently gets outshined by perplexity p/s, but that doesn’t mean p/p is not viable, I have used it for months in wvw and been fine with it. Its not as bad as you think.

And chances are that by next balance patch the runes will get an icd

As much as adding torment would be awesome, I feel blowtorch is good enough as it is. Adding torment on top of the burn might be too much.

I for one hope she finally tells us why she never wears any shoes.

…but I am……..

I’m fine with less rng anywhere tyvm >.<

Thats the thing, yeah we know they dont talk to us because they are always busy working on balancement, but surely I am not the only one who would be willing to wait an extra month if they talk with us and make sure they dont overdo some changes (for example im sure many people saw giving necros burn was a bad idea).

Dear anet,

I cant see crap, not even when I lower my gamma.
That is all.

I wouldn’t call it balanced..so many pokemon left out in the meta I would estimate around only 2% of them are used at best.

But yeah it was awesome to watch

Oh we definitely need more gimmicky one shot bosses who completely ignore toughness and vitality. Because we all know zerker is the way to go in pve anyways.

One of my guild’s pre- guild event rituals is to meet up and drop supply crates all around. Its fun and all, but that gave me an awesome idea. Lets get the engineer community together and expand this idea, let us fill L.A with supply crates as far as the eye can see! If you are or have an engie, come join us, for we need as many supply crates in l.a as possible!

I’m thinking we should do it for next Sunday, August 17th in FA. Time: Not sure yet, depends on whats best for everyone but I’m hoping at minimum we get 30+ engies. Post here if you are thinking of participating with us and what time are you available (in gametime/pst)

Where are they you ask? Most of the engies moved to fa, you can’t take a step there without walking into a turret :/

Edit: Also have a high number of charrs

All I wants is to make those aoe fields more visible. I really gotta squint my eyes among all the chaos to tell whether its red or not.

Amun Ra.6435:

I think you guys are missing the point…I, like the OP, are not seeing the red circles.

Thats my problem its incredibly hard to see those red circles on my charr. But seems I have to count to two based on when I hear it on my audio

I can’t tell at all where here 1 hit aoes that drop from the sky are going to hit. How are you suppposed to keep you camera angle when fighting? It might be because Im a max sized charr but I see no warning whatsoever on it

If this was posted yesterday I would have said laugh in map chat about the guy who tried to monopolize rare veggie pizzas

Idk what class you are but I found doing knockbacks on dog (Overcharged shot for me) helped a lot in getting the meat first. Maybe you can try doing knockbacks too before he gets it

Never in my mind did I think “wow look at all these sexy hot bots”. They were just there, yes they got a feminine form but so what? Does that really mean you gotta go scream sexist cause of that?

Also, should we also be giving Braham a shirt? Why did no one complain about him?

I’m enjoying them for the most part except two things: Getting instant gibbed no matter how much hp/toughness I have and not being able to immobilize them. Seriously, why do I have net shot when I can’t use it when I need it the most >.>

I use one but I’m on fa :/ I’ll do it given the chance if get matched up for next time.

Considering anet has 4 separate living world teams now, I don’t think the quality will suffer at all. If anything, the more recent living world events have been increasing in quality, so I say keep bringing that content frequently.

Plus seriously…even if they have a massive patch every few months or so, people will find a way to eat it up quick in a few days.

Legit Prep In.5893:

EXACTLY Super Riceman,
6 Updates to fix kitten in under 16 hours and they are NOT WILLING to fix the MAIN FUNCTIONALLITY of one of ther ingame classes.
Its redoky!

Yeah would be nice for an emergency patch to fix turrets now.

Maskaganda.2043:

funny story from a couple of days ago:

Just another average day for an engineer

We should invade pvp forums again for this. Worked last time they broke and got fixed pretty quick.

That god fight we will never get to see now…this gw vet is so sad. Well gg people, time to go play your new asura floating cube map #5462

Well if its cold enough the ice would burn you wouldnt it?

My engineer for wvw is a norn, you gotta love that leopard form for chasing and escaping and dash does nice damage too in zerkers. Though salad heads seem to be a good fit too, that grasping vine immobilize plus the extra two sec shield seems useful, I kinda wanna try it out at some point.

Meglobob.8620:

Keil to WIN…

Cheap waypointing for EVERYBODY and a fantastic new fractal…

Fantastically generic asura area filled with cubes…sure haven’t seen that before.

FT/HGH means? Also thank you!
What about 1v1’s?

Ft is flamethrower, hgh is alchemy trait 11. Basically a might stacking flamethrower build

@ gizmo

6/10 on engie, she looks so frail. 7.5/10 on warrior, looks alright.

And here is one of my engies.

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

More clarification:

• It’s an artificer recipe
• You can trade the output of the recipe between characters on your account
• The recipe makes a one-time use item, it does not unlock a new skill
• This is not going to replace a mesmer in your party

Why do you keep pushing new recipe outputs that we can’t tp? >.<
