Guild Wars 2

So at first I was like “Stupid idea” then I thought about this mad idea. And now I’m not sure if I like it or you just blinded sided with the idea of becoming/operating a mech. Well played sir

Asura is the master race for sure. But if we are talking pure looks got to say human. Maybe norn because of the new mortar animation .

Feels like all the armor in this game is made on human models then just shrunk/ stretched for everyone else..

I guess kinda proof? I mained an asura since launch. I rolled a second engi (human) transfered all gear from asura to human kept the same look and color scheme . My human actually gets so compliments! My asura could barely got a group… let alone a random"sick armor" whisper (catcall )

Def going to be an option . Stabilizing core . Mass momentum . And adaptive armor.

Profit

As much as I loved my 28% it needed a little t week man. Lol between the barrage bug and full mage mortar mode I felt grossly overpowered . Especially if u ran hgh elixir u mortar. I think mortar is in a good place now. Got a say he’ll no to the changing the aa on mortar tho. I loves me my mortar .

You know stuff is overpowered when the only reason I noticed the mortar nerf is because I couldn’t solo drop anyone on initial zerg pushes anymore

wait wait.. shredder bot on water field. did we just get a version ele water 5 heal bomb?

I have always thought that the profession that can truly can do everything should be wearing armor/gear that helps you do just that.

Im going to have to agree with the whole it doesn’t do damage because its doing other things camp. Hammer 1 auto attack applies mite/vuln/mite. which is setting you up to maybe drop bombs aa while your so close (this one is very high damage) which of course also drops many different fields for you to hammer 3 into.

And i am sorry to those of you who want to be a kit less engineer. Its like wanting to be a petless ranger.Possible? maybe. Just not going to work. We dont have weapon swap because we have kits that give us a entire knew 1-5 plus tool belt.

Going down the explosives tree post scrapper will no longer be for grenades its will be bombs finally (or maybe even 5% damage on vuln targets). Between the shredder bot and all the leeps in hammer 3 you will want the luxury of all those fields to blast

And call me crazy but I am beginning to see the purpose of the middle skills in the invention line. Tho i think the ICD has to come off of Medical dispersion field to see real magic happen.

Major Master Soothing Detonation.png Soothing Detonation When you trigger a combo using a blast finisher, allies near the effect are healed.
Major Grandmaster Medical Dispersion Field.png Medical Dispersion Field 5 A percentage of healing you receive is shared with your allies

anyone else seeing this?

I was gonna reply but i give up. go play a reaper my dude stop leaving your stink on this forum

Ug more complaining and this time even before testing. Awesome. Lord what is wrong with these people? What makes them so unhappy?Lifetime of “first world problems” cloud their ability to identify true issues? So they just bark and complain about everything? I dunno. but i do know its starting to make me crazy! crazy!!!!

Bots will have their place. with this new wep and spec we can officially do everything.and now have enough mite stacking synergy to live at 18-25 stacks fo life. armor will change.(I believe this will be the true age of celestial for most classes).. builds will change.. and guess what.. opponents will change too. stop complaining. I mean i get it.. some of these bots look very lack luster but definetly not all of them and overall these changes will bring Improvements to the engineer

and fyi
we haveREZ BOTS and STOMP BOTS with stability…………………………………………………… how the hell can you be unhappy about tha???? focus on the good… you can do it!

SECONDARY TERM CLASS?! lol i love opinions

your numbers are 1984. which to me means. You know what will happen in the future. which is my strange kitten way of saying. This is a great idea. tweakable but great.

hush Ikeostuken! lol I like the the fun silly engi. but this is redic. and GW2 animations/art is not fun and silly its sexy and artsy. This bomb belongs on a world of warcraft char. Not a sexy gw2 predator wielding character.

so wait.. does this mean I cant use hammer/mortar?

Jump in tools ASAP for Perma sprint and get rocket boots and fly through the zones. Rifle jump shot helps a bit to for mobility. Low level pve everything works pick what you like. Flame thrower grenades bombs none are bad really.

Already complaining? Lol no. You we none of us can say a dam thing about yet. And rez/stomp works in all aspects of the game . Gathering does not . Stop complaining so dam much ! Your an engi! You don’t complain you find solutions!

1v1 condition is gonna rock most man. Knights is definitely a better look then full zerk. You need the added toughness to survive those thieves and other zerk builds. I have been playing this class for almost 2 years now and i just cant seem to make full zerk really work outside of some sexy 2 hit montages hehe. Knights armor/ mix zerk/sold trinkets worked for me. recently went full zerk trinkets for extra damage im slowly getting better at blocking/dodging but nothing easy about it. If you want “easier” go full soldiers you can survive like a champ in that stuff but your damage really does become kinda mediocre

Im not trying to be troll here but I feel most useful in my zerg. What in the heck game are you people playing where engis suck in wvw? Mord I mean no offense man but I can kinda feel the verbal and mental beatings you must have gotten from your engi hating commanders/guildies coming through you in your post.I know you love your engi and you probably rock on him but ug you believe what your commanders/guildes were wrong about. Engis are very viable and are worth the spot they take. All this bs crap about meta and what fits is a load .

In pve :: i am pretty sure the fire/condi build is the highest dps potential in game.
In wvw :: (I suggest you zerg with power not condi) I feel awesome. I can aoe till my eyes bleed stealth rez/heal my homies and burst an area of about 240 to DEATH!!! every 30seconds lol its funny you gota try it
In spvp :: I honestly dont play it much. but im pretty sure i watching the latest tournaments on gw2 sight and engis were part of top teams. sooooooooo what you boohooin about?

Boohoo worthy ::. the way my elite mortar ability has the animation of a lvl 5 blunderbuss ::
Boohoo worthy :: why does my bomb kit look like an old school rice cooker. and lol norn using bombs ::

otherwise

Im with ya Ragecube state of the engineer is fine.

Will my new scrapper be able to use old elite skills with new weapon? IE Morter/Hammer engineer ::trembles:: will he? tell me.. will he/!?

Ok So i must admit that i have not had A LOT of experience in gvg. But i was fortunate enough to run with a couple of open minded commanders and have been successfully used in gvg scenario.
The engineer i feel has one of the most unique abilities to play both sides of the line. Not fully back line and never really front line but assisting on both ends. I wish I had the capacity to take video to show you how it work so i can only really explain i guess.

Opening up with mortar rounds I found my main priority in the very beginning of a fight was to get that ice field down in front of my tank train this had them leap/whirl/blast into it to start the fight with frost aura what i feel is one of the most underutilized auras especially with current hammer trains. after that Im spamming 1 into the blob waiting for the initial break up to drop my light field that blinds every 1 sec and poison field and spam mortar/grenades just to keep the back-line moving and not free casting. ::The entire time of this im between the tank train and the back-line:: Im close enough to provide my 1500 range water field to either the back or tank train (usually the tank train) followed or lead by an orbital strike to blast 2x and yes i can still get in close enough to provide additional water field and blast with healing turret. .

Once the blobs are at there closest points i assist with grenades providing potent damage and conditions including blinds and chills poisons and also grenade barrage which is a guaranteed 4-8k aoe hit. If the initial push really hurts the enemy team you can finish off low players with a well placed jump shot (warning you better have something to block your way out of the masses)

At any point if this becomes a jousting match you will be helping your team get back to 100% with your very low cool down water fields and on board blast finishers. You can pull over extenders or priority targets from an ungodly distance with magnet and turn the tide of the fight . Also if any of their gank crew find there way to your side . Rifle combo with grenade barrage will 100-0 any dps class.

I feel what engi trully brings the the gvg scene is a form of sustained damage cc and healing to the party. My water heal field is not as grand is ele staff 5 but its half the cool down and i have 2 of them and they are just as blast able. My mortar and grenades field separately will never be as good as nerco wells per cast but they have a lower cool down and can hit comparably as hard and i can spam them all day long.

People always talk about how the engineer can replace or be replaced by any other class and while this is true I really dont feel that is the point. We (engineers) are made to extend the available tool kit of said party. What ever build you want to run we can make it better.

And fun fact. In pve i believe it was stated ENGI is number 3 in greatest potential dps after ele/thief. I know this isnt pve but what im trying to say all this im doing is ALL doing damage and a dam good amount of it ta boot.

some people are stuck in a 2 year old meta

What is this hobos askittenep hearing about ?

I like it . Definitely love it for zerg and big group fighting . Solo and roaming not so bad. Smaller scale fights i would look into maybe hgh/juggernaut build . Definitely a good combo. You haven’t lived till you orbital strike grenade barrage and jump shot into a group.

Your post got me to try grenades, and oh boy what was I missing, the close-range DPS is just insane and Grenade Barrage can hit for ludicrous amounts of damage, also since I’m running Tools with Kinetic Battery traited, I can usually either pop Orbital Strike or Grenade Barrage twice in small group skirmishes which is just bombastic.

I also decided to swap Elixir Gun for Toolkit, I lost mobility but I find it better overall with the clutch blocking and magnet pulling never gets old, also Pry Bar on a Power build? Ouch..that thing hurts.

I tried the Juggernaut build previously and while I found it effective, I didn’t enjoy the way its played.

I’ll stick with Mortar and Nades as they defintely go well together, I don’t think I’ll look back.

I think juggernaut/hgh build will shine with celestial engi. Im glad you relized the powA! that is grenades. I run full knights with zerk/sold trinkets and i gota tell you if i can combo grenade barrage orbital and my rifle combo I can bring anyone from 100-0 no problem. hell if grouped properly i can do it to 4 others at the same time hehe. Besides orbital strike i find assisting my tank train with mortar fields is insanely effective if done rite. all while providing water fields.

Using grenades in the zerg blob is pretty sketchy at times with all the retal available but the focus fire you can toss down in one area in seconds is just to worth the risk man. I wish you luck . we need more engineers out there showing the masses that we can compete on every level of this game.

EVEN GVG! but thats a conversation for another day

Am I crazy or did flamethrower have a backpack animation with chemicals and tubes and such? where is this? why was it taken away?

I like it . Definitely love it for zerg and big group fighting . Solo and roaming not so bad. Smaller scale fights i would look into maybe hgh/juggernaut build . Definitely a good combo. You haven’t lived till you orbital strike grenade barrage and jump shot into a group.

Happens sometimes after using rocket boots too!

Welcome !

Let us know if we can help with any questions.

Totally depends on what you want man.

Necro is down rite tanky high damage and dripping aoe . They can succeed with both condis or power builds. Highly valued in wvw but understand as a necro your job is to murder face all day and stay alive only and yes your slow as molasses

Engi on the other hand is truly a jack of all trades class. The utility offered by the class is unmatched . We aren’t as tanky as a necro and pound for pound necro will have more power and hp but the trade off are things like access to every field in the game more blast finishers then most while still having some awesome damage potential with Big unblock able damage . And all the while you are one speedy sob Perma swift rocket boots and you can even reliably access stealth .

Definitely a good idea to also post on necro forums so you get more of a balanced opinion .

One thing I noticed tho and maybe I’m wrong please others chime in. Engi is a hard mode class. Since you have so much utility your accessing all of your tools to fully maximize the engi damage potential. This translates to a lot more clicking/button smashing and so many different combos options then other classes that I feel it is one of the hardest classes to master. But man oh man so much fun

To the op. What are you looking for from your character ? Maybe answering this can help us help you

bombs are not dead.
Please stop crying.
learn to combo everything with big ol bomb and change your life for the better

PLayed Skyforge open Beta. Its no GW2 but it was pretty dam fun..Is it over yet? Can i log back in yet?

compared to a warrior? He’ll yes . 2-3 kits plus wep plus evades plus f1-f4 and your best heal requires you to cast/recast and blast for optimal use it can get pretty hectic. Not to mention medium armor is much less forgiving then heavy .

But with that said the fact that you feel the warrior is brain dead leads me to believe that you will enjoy the challenge. Play that engineer and practice practice practice mastering this class is hard but the pay off is insanely great

As always good luck and have fun .
