Guild Wars 2

That just makes me wish we had our old boxing glove again

The clumsiness just doesn’t work when other classes tend to be more serious. Clumsiness would be okay, if it was just aesthetic and didn’t hinder our skills.

When was the last time a thief tripped while doing leaping blossom or an ele caught himself on fire?

All I remember is them saying the were looking into adding more weapon options for those with a less variety of weapons, though that was posted some time ago. Anyways I would prefer greatswords, if only for the reason so I can use my chainsaw on engie

I forgot to mention, wvw has exotic armor too on the cheap. They got knight, carrion,cleric, etc armor for less than 1g per piece plus a few badges of honor. If you aren’t in a hurry, that would probably be the best way to get em for you.

(The npcs named armor masters have them)

1) You can try out builds in spvp before you build them in pve/wvw
2) Just avoid elitist groups. Though for the most part condition damage tends to hinder more than help in dungeons :/
3) Higher populated servers tend to have lots of zergs no matter what bl it is.
4) Not really, you can do fine with exotics in this game, you don’t NEED ascended though its nice to have
5) That is temple (Karma) armor

Well if your in FA, our engie guild could help you get started. We got lots of knowledgeable engies here Either way you can also pm me about anything~

A guildie of mine found a cool looking helm on a engineer npc. I would have loved to wear something like this, too bad it doesn’t seem available to players. Here is a screenshot of it.

Well there is always going to be a vocal minority in every game.

But lets see..skills 1-5 are from your corresponding weapon. Switch weapon and those skills are switched. 6 is always your healing skill and 7-9 are utilities. Those are the skills that you can pick individually. Engineers can unlock utilities known as kits that when activated replace your weapon skills 1-5 with a weapon such as flamethrower of grenades. And there your elite skill slot unlocked at lvl30 which is a strong profession skill on a usually high cd.

While we are complaining I’ma throw this out.
First with charr cof shoulders and now this. Why do the male charr always get stuck with the lame shoulders >:( Though at least its all the males this time

The explosion doesn’t bleed, it’ll just do the power damage. So yeah explosive shot is horrible.

If the thief had waited five minutes he would have found an opening but anyways grats to a fellow engineer!

Airship pirates by Abney Park seems fitting right about now

As much as I hate the rng boxes anet has been putting out and the imbalance issues that still exist, I am quite content with this game overall. All the monthly updates are remarkable. I love how this game has been pushing out new content update after update, its basically a whole different game from when it launched. In all the games I have ever played no company has come close to doing what anet can.

p.s. I still hate rng boxes

Always prepared is an interesting trait that lets you share some of your kits with allies. Too bad it was implemented so awkwardly, then patched by adding a mediocre effect that is only noticeable with #3.

I would just like to see this trait focused on what it is most noticeable for (other than that awkward moment where you died because your friend accidentaly picked up your ft instead of reviving you) which is kit sharing. Instead of dropping kits when down, it can be that your kit is dropped when you press the conveniently named “drop bundle” button.This could open new possibilities for team gameplay and supports the notion of enginer as one of the support classess. Of course if seemingly too strong the dropped kits can be limited to elixir gun and flamethrower. Any thoughts on this?

Shadow refuge on my engie. Though I think if anyone could learn any other class’s utilities we would be seeing (Or not) about 500% more people just running around invisible, especially in wvw

Its 1024 × 768 I never bothered to buy a new one :S

I could not bring myself to do it. You don’t wanna get the only merchant that sells dragon wings mad

You better think twice about opening that piñata

Ima say it right now, settler armor is beautiful for engies.

Its what Ive been using and I’m loving it so far. Its one of the tankiest builds Ive ever used on engie and I can still damage other classes. Earlier today I was fighting 1v1 a d/d ele and and was able to out sustain her with my turrets keeping my hp at max while dropping her to 25% with elixir gun right before she decided to try and run away…in the wrong direction where some fellow server mates where Wish I had recorded it :/

Yeah I was about to say.. lol I was so confused reading what you got out of my build xD

Shemsu.8721:

Terkov, you are misinformed. If you hit a thief in stealth there are MULTIPLE ways to know you hit him, AA chains will continue, crit procs can go off, heal on hit procs can go off, life leeches can go off, and lets not forget the most obvious… The combat log will SHOW you the damage. knowledge is power. l2p.

I’ve checked it a few times but combat log has never shown damage when you hit people in stealth.

The balance patch seems to be in two weeks, not next week. And we know that every class is getting at least one trait change per tree line, in some cases even five.

It was a close fight, the turrets had a long well fought struggle against the holographic minions, until the juggernaut decided to bulldoze them all. In the end their bravery just wasn’t enough.

salutes brave turrets

Can you post a screenshot of it? My char slots are full :/

I really enjoyed dragon ball more than spvp (though to be fair I havent spvped in a while) There was no one that could tank for hours on end or just stealth and slip away. Plus not having a down system felt like it made faster more exciting gameplay, almost like a fps to me.

Meep Meep!

15charrs

Sometimes I have felt meh with this class too, that is pretty normal after playing it for a long time. Hopefully the balance patch and trait touch ups at the end of this month will help people get excited for this class again. Not to mention the upcoming armor.

Confusion is condition damage.
And against mesmers I can hold my own pretty well. After a while I’ll start to gain the advantage and they usually end up trying to run away. Though I can’t rely on turrets for that part they’ll just end up shooting at illusions.

Kravick.4906:

Like all thief builds, just spam 1 button til victory. In this case, its spear #5. You’ll be invulnerable 95% of the time.

That. Using spear 5 plus your dodges makes you untouchable. With certain traits you can keep it up indefinitely

Well there is a bomb heal build around somewhere.

Or

Maybe you would wanna try my turret build. Full Settler set with undead runes 0/0/30/30/10 spread. Pick up protection injection, backpack regen, automated response and the turret traits on inventions. Rifle Turret, Flame turret and elixir gun and watch yourself be nearly unkillable while dishing out some good damage.

I don’t think build sites have added settlers in yet.

Edit: Forgot you didnt want points in alchemy, you could drop them in firearms instead and pick up pistol traits.

Hebee.8460:

Medium helm on male charr reminds me of head-phones with shades.
I do like that horns show, wish more helms showed the horns for my charr eng.

Yes! Thats exactly what it reminds me of too!

ricky.4870:

the helm should belong to medium

Idk I like the medium helm more, the light ones look like they give my charr kitten eyes, though they would have been perfect if they used the same yellow lenses as the medium one. Though the medium has its own problems for me too, they’re oddly shaped, especially with my horns

And exactly what pieces of the new light armor makes you think should belong on medium?

Terrahero.9358:

Looking forward to the pistol, wonder if its going to be some anoying RNG thing again…

I would be ever so sad if it came from rng boxes :/

Idk about that I think the medium looks more engie than the light. Though heavy looks the best, especially those gauntlets

Linc.6834:

I do appreciate the bug fixes to the traits working together logically (i.e. turret explosions)
But what about our Pistol auto attack Explosive Shot?
would it really be overpowered to use these same traits? Or to give the bleed from it to the AoE damage part of it, maybe thats a little much.
But I definitly think adding 10% dmg and vulnerability stacks (through traits) would open up some more diversity, especially to P/S builds

I would just like to see the bleed go from two to four seconds so I can at least put a dent in my target, cause somehow, I got nearly 1k condition damage but my pistol shots still shoot at less than 400 damage per shot total. keep the explosion part as it is or we would be back to having pistol as a zerg destroyer. Vulnerability wouldnt do much considering it has a very low power multiplier.

Zoid.2568:

What the hell is that ugly armor? seriously they could have made a much better job on those sets. The other three sets that released from GW1 looks pretty crappy aswell, especially the light armour. Do they really think these armour sets will sell when they make them uglier than the armour sets you can get in-game?

It could have been a little better but overall me and my engie guild are pretty excited for this armor. Though we are just glad we didnt get stuck with the light version And its normal armor not town clothes

Though not armor, here is the pistol: [&AgGvqQAA]

I just gotta say…its so HOT!

AvalonBright.6957:

…Actually I picked Meep every time. -_- Dead last. Repeatedly. At least until picking someone else when he gets second. The very first time he was literally fifteen seconds behind the pack after the final stretch, after having been in second the entire race until then. -.-

Im laughing pretty hard cause its true meeb does have those losing streak moments, you were just unlucky enough to pick her during then.
Meeeeeb!

Hah I think Meep does have the best name though. Just saying it is fun! MEEEEEEEP

I got my mini moa racer today just by betting on Meep (Chose her cause she reminds me of mareep), and out of curiosity I happened to record all of meebs final postions from successive races and here are my results, where f means fourth or last and the numbers just signify what position he was when he won. The second row is after the patch for exploit though I did not see anyone in my server abusing that exploit when we ran so I don’t think these numbers are been tampered with:

2f2fff211f22f31f223ffff322f3fff3ffff2f2121f11ffff22f2f322
f33f32fff131

1st: 9
2nd: 18
3rd: 10
Other: 30

So, ignoring all statistical analysis, what can we say about meep? Meep looks like the type of moa who goes into losing streaks once in a while so it would be unwise to bet on her right after she loses. Though if he got 3rd or higher right after a loss it would be a pretty safe bet to bet on him right after. She doesn’t get first place a lot but she makes that up for getting second place in many of the races.

All in all I spend 34g just by picking this moa and sticking to it, which would be somewhat higher than the average from picking randomly. In other words, if you pick a fave, don’t pick Meep. She is a fat lazy moa who goes into slumps a lot and at best goes for second. What is she good at though? Dinner of course

Whoever said it would be gem store armor though?

If its true that this is armor then I’m excited! Engies have been asking for more engie looking armor since forever! And this steampunk style is pretty close!

What happened? And I was so close on getting my moa mini >.<

Enjoyluck.2618:

How about you give me a greatsword and remove stealth > : )

Deal!

And how exactly do you invite someone from a different server? Ive tried but can’t >.<

Only a WvW player would ask for combo field spams

darkace.8925:

I’m sure there are a lot of engineers who say of most rifle skins “looks a bit thin…”

Other than the charrzooka thats true. Guess this one goes out to everyone who likes it thick~

Rifle and pistol look a bit thick but we’ll see..they probably would look better in game. Most weapons look awesome though I’m digging that longbow and shield
