Guild Wars 2

Alright so, ready up will have a balance preview for engineer this Friday. Well lets predict these changes before they’re announced! Are you feeling optimistic? Pessimistic? Personally, a little bit of both

My guess:
-Flame jet rework
-Incendiary powder changed to GM
- Autodefense bomb dispenser changed to master
- Extra effect to coated bullets
- Kit refinement changed to gm, cd lowered significantly
- Gadgeteer lowered to master

Oh man you got me all hyped up now :/

Please tell me you got flamethrower changes please tell me you do >.<

My guess is that since the world revolves around sylvari, the player is probably filling the role of sylvari. We are supposed to be the sylvari were just taking that spot with our asura charr etc.

But if they do add in a sylvari I hope one of the humans gets killed off to make room for him/her

Swap ranger gs with warrior gs and you’ve fixed two classes at once :P

M Steel.2574:

According to the Guild Wars 2 Wiki, “Jennah is an exceptionally powerful mesmer in her own right, able to single-handedly end the Ogre Revolt by creating a clone of an Elder Dragon convincing enough that its Branded minions withdrew, whilst simultaneously casting a glamour that held hundreds of humans and charr in place.” She’s arguably more powerful than Countess Anise and it is possible that she creates illusions of herself to take her place in risky situations.

Yes, of course. And shes also a super saiyan and has caught all 718 pokemon….in shiny forms.

I think the writers went overboard with what she could do. Honestly if she can do all that then she doesnt need logan to protect her.

No they won’t. But Its okay don’t worry no ones uses antitoxin spray anyways

My mouth literally just dropped open at the fact that someone just created another mount thread

They need enemies near range to activate

My guess would be the might stack/bombs or nades one.

hotobeseman.6358:

no pls not this again.

Love how even someone who works at anet upvoted this comment

So how many points is the lack of weapon swap worth? And if you say we got optional kits/conjures then how many points is the used up utility slot worth?

No one thinks they look good? Wat? Since when do you speak for all charrs? Ill say about 5/6 of the new hairstyles are fantastic, even the sayan one. Haters gonna hate but I’m keeping my sayan hair :P

Let’s be glad they gave bieber hair to norns not us. Now that is shameful.

Add in acidic coating for extra annoyance :P

I forget which one, but there is one that still lets you move while auto attacking

Even though I’m against mounts, I really thought the waypoint conflict was going to make way for mounts for future ls content. Until Taimi said she can fix the problem lol

Taimi, destroyer of mount dreams and champion of gw1 players everywhere

If I were to compare gw2 to a real sport, I would say it is like american football. It is complex, but still possible , but that complexity will also just limit its audience. A sport with less complex rules like soccer is more universal and can reach more people than football ever will.

And yes I know Im simplifying it but I think my point still reaches through :P

nope

I find myself fighting against warriors a lot lately in wvw, and all of them always run at least one of the two. Now the thing is, I have learned to look out for these two icons whenever I engage against one, but the thing is that, they tiny little icons are really hard to spot. Mostly because I find myself having to search in between 4-5 buff icons hoping I haven’t missed it, and it gets very messy once you add in banner buffs and buffs running out and others being added. And you gotta do this while fighting and looking down at the warriors animations. Considering obvious animations are part of a warriors weakness, I think they should add different auras to endure/defy pain to better identify when to and not to use skills, kind of the animation vengeance gives.

Yes I am aware other skills could also use better animations but I would like to keep this about those 2 skills please, thanks.

Yes!! !

I wanna see this thread turn into a “chuck everything you can find into the eternal alchemy now!”

LOL I wanna see this done with a quaggan next!!

OtakuModeEngage.8679:

I’m laughing inside at all the CRPers who advocate quaggen porn campaigns…

wat

I don’t mind being called boss, I mean your character is always referred to with a title instead of your name in ps/ls. I just find it funny that

- Braham calls you boss

- commences to tell everybody what to do

DO NOT WORRY! The developers are just testing our dedication! Our hobosacks will be fixed, but only when we reach one thousand comments! Show your dedication to our cause today!

Drooburt will always live in my heart, much more memorable than

[spoiler]

If this doesn’t confirm the fact that super saiyan charrs exists, then idk what does

Killthehealersffs.8940:

Hahahaahah !
Can we have a minigame too , with some dragonball moves ? :P
Kamehame beam > 2,5 sec cast time , e.t.c :P

Actually that reminds me, we already have that game. Its gonna be sooooo fun when we get it back ahaha

Its the new in for charrs everywhere!

Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EKTw50Uf8M&index=6&list=FLI828xVYmpjodRgtAlnuNtw

idk about that…hipshot, bomb, tranquilizer dart and nade are pretty good aa

I think tool kit aa is pretty hilarious against a necro or ranger when you got power wrench on. I’ve had them try to bunny hop away from the perma cripple its lol worthy. Otherwise it makes a horrible melee weapon, but still a good utility kit

When I think of unused and useless, warriors “on my mark!” skill always comes to mind.

X1.5 wvw and normal experience when capping an objective from first place. Watch the fights even out overnight.

90% sure you could call them out on their spec and it would be something cheesier. So good for you! Turrets are finally viable and in no way should they be nerfed now.

Sarrs.4831:

engineer dagger confirmed?

I logged in to say that but I guess someone beat me to it!

I run away a lot, but mostly cause I just ignore that thief or mes trying to get me into fighting them, just to have the fight turn into a game of hide and seek. If I played with conditions maybe I might still have a chance to kill them but nope, I love my rifle engie. So I just do to then what they would do to me anyways :P Ill stop by for the rest of the classes though.

Would be more useful if it had worked like the charr racial skill booby trap, where you stick the mine to your face and explodes if hit by melee

I vote cannon kit based solely on how bad kitten we would look holding a cannon over our shoulders like that aetherblade canoneer guy.

Much in the same way we got new healing skills to increase diversity, the nex step should be on elites to increase build diversity further. Most classes have one elite that is fine, two if they are lucky, and so with very limited choices everyone is forced to take the same elite. New elites would take less time than more weapon sets, and the faster we can get new skills out, the better.

Scarlet is obviously behind this

Everything is

Imo just leave it as it is, stop touching it. Engies (well, more specifically me) need a reason to invest in hp stat.

The kind of content I want the most are new skills and weapons for all. I know my engineer inside and out already, I’ve tried plenty of builds and right now its just hard to find new ones to keep the game fresh.

I agree, turrets are obviously an important part for engineers and you can’t afford to have em blow up mid combat. For engineers, this is the ranger equivalent of having your pet blow up every five minutes for no reason.

Lower distance but increase its damage to encourage people to use it in fight, not just to run away.

No need to make rush have some weird restriction like rtl does.

No it just means thieves lack imagination :P They all just want that “sexy” assassin look

wads.5730:

its basically worthless. theres absolutely no reason to go 3 defensive stats outside of sitting in a circle in spvp (vomit).

I think there are some valid reasons to use it. As others mentioned, its a valid set for commanders. And also, it will probably be incredibly hard to to down that thief-mes combo hiding on the third floor of smc and stop them from opening portal unless you zerg em down. Or with any builds that uses minions to do most of their damage.

That’s not feedback. Feedback is also taking your time to explain why didn’t you like it.

I keep hearing people call smoke vent “okay” and “decent”. Really when other #5 skills are high damaging, or high mobility etc, how can we say smoke vent is okay? Smoke vent is a close range blind that does no damage. Its just a blind as simple as its can get, how is that okay? I don’t believe it being insta cast is enough to keep it as the fifth skill. I still remember it being a placeholder replacement till we got a real skill, so when is it coming?

If you can afford a 4 week long vacation then you can afford some gems.

But seriously just log in once a month for 30 seconds, anyone can do that.

Pure skill fact changes lol you should never expect much from ls patches
