Guild Wars 2

Penguin.5197:

Replace a skill with
VVVRRRRRROOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRMMMMMM: Turn on your chainsaw to make loud noises, causing fear for 3 seconds

:D

That sounds amazing:-)

Instead chainsaw bounce between targets it can be whole engi with chainsaw bounce between targets:-)

Well you pretty much have warrior/guardian gs skills with different names. Its need something fresh and unique because right now is engineer trashcan of other classes skills mostly in weaker/shorter/random version (toss elixir U for example).
Right now I havent any better idea for chainsaw but I have for example one older idea for FT.

Skill 5: You aim FT into ground like rocket propeller. For 7s you will hover above ground and flame circle on ground around you will hit enemies, reflect projetiles and grants stability to you and ally in that circle. ALSO when you jump from high cliff and use skill in right time its slows you fall and negate fall damage.

Engineer needs unique abilities.

Well chainsaw kit idea is great but it need some less generic skills in that kit:-)

Silver.9084:

Isn’t the 12% dmg only to warrior?

Did you expect something like that to engi? No way in this universe:-D

//Edit: he mean auto elixir B at 75% HP minor trait

Yea it sounds pretty kitten if they dont make any changes into autobuff traits and runesets

Well it depends if all classes will have this boon hating system or just thief/war for example. If all, simply now whole meta will change into non boon builds thats all.

IMO one of the best pve builds is static discharge, those mobs on video you will beat in 1.5s :-) Wíth zerg gear and fire sigil you can make up to 30k dmg semi AoE spikes. For example in CoF1 I can beat 2 acolytes before 100b zerg war event finish 100b on first one:-) You are basicly 100b zerg war with quickness on 1000ft range:-) Build is about positioning you have perma swiftness and vigor. Build is simple to use but very fun to play:-)
I did all explo dungs and fractals 48 with this without problems.

JubeiTM.5763:

Engineer player here.

Man you made my day with those pics:-D
On current HGH builds state you see what can difference in player skill do. For long time engi was weak and complicated compare to other classes so we had learn to play like pros on piano without mistakes to even beat noobs.
But now after few buffs and developing right builds what make us equal to other classes we roll.
We roll because we are simply much more skilled then ppl what play other classes.

So let them cry for HGH nerf they will die anyway..:-)

I bought 50 those skins for 18g:-) I think it will be like Ghastly shield price rise from 15g into almost 400.

Vizuna is like Sparta.. 300 on every borderlands..

Sometime it not work. Just try reenter intems into forge

Did you know what is funy? How ppl mention only HGH:-) This build isnt only about HGH (yea mights are fine but they just help not win) but about combination of many traits, skills, gear, runes, sigils and also high skill cap AND especialy right grenade landing.

It will be surprise for some ofyou but this build will work without HGH you just die 2-3s later:-)

So I just finish my 2nd legendary – Frenzy and I am bit disappointed by glitching and effects on my Engi.
- There are NO skill changes.
- There are NO footsteps or aura only few fish swim around.
- Weapon on back is horizontaly reverted compare to preview so its badly glitching with Capacitor and it looks very wierd.

Please give harpoon some love because weapon itself looks great:-)

Empathetic Fighter.2065:

Well 25 stacks might on a permanent duration (if specced right) is a bit too strong. Also consider that there is no class which can spread this variety of conditions so fast and so easily (eg. necromancer lacks of burning). No other class is so fast in killing point defenders, due to permanently hit grenades.
I think some little tweaks could bring HGH to a balanced level.

Its Grandmaster trait man. Other classes stacks might too.

I have full zerg gear on my engi and fractals 48 isnt problem usualy I am last man standing.

Thieves need to execute a series of skills in a row, in which at any time the victim has the potential to mitigate or have some sort of play to save themselves or stop the thief.

Yea we know that series… Heartseeker, Heartseeker, Heartseeker, Heartseeker, Heartseeker, Heartseeker, Heartseeker, …

Well necros these days starts to be dangerous. Until now they was just freekills what annoy you with fear while you finish them. But last week I met some wierd confusion/bleeding necro what melt my p/t/v bunker in 3s. I dueled with him about 5 times with same results.

Aveneo.2068:

So maybe ANet should focus on bringing all those underpowered abilities up to accceptable levels, instead of nerfing the few things that actually work into oblivion.

Man its not Anet style for our class. They dont buff weaker builds, they nerf useful ones into same useless state.

I wish no another nerf for engineer.

GW1 Mesmer, GW2 Engineer

IMO this is finaly something what worth my gold. Yes it take long than you get money back in term of mining but you dont need carry backup picks ect
Personaly I bought it for that epic mining efect

Just furm CoF1 for I dont know.. 3 days for full exo gear:-)

More items like that pick!

Charr engi ftw:-) Other classes looks wierd. here is mine:

Hi everyone I have some ideas how to extend our Rifle skills (and also pistol but not in this topic) possibilities due to lack of weapon swap and kits what occupy our utility slots. Btw sorry for my bad english:-)

I called my idea “Dual Functionality” (DF in short) and it based Anet early idea what wasnt implemented into final game – charging skills (skill functionality change depends on how long you hold button like for example range on Trebs)
Basicly longer you hold button better effect you get. Every skill will have “charge cap” what dont allow you increase charge above some point.

Also I have some ideas how to slightly modify current skills. So here it is:

Skill 1
- Rename into “Clever Shot”, change shoot animation from hip to shoulder aimed like Warrior
- DF: Holding button will cumulate up to 3 shots into one massive what you shoot by releasing button. 3s max charge – every second charging add 10% damage bonus so if basic damage hit for 1000 max charged will hit for 3300.

Skill 2
- Replace by “Supersonic Shot” – pretty much like mesmers pistol stun – high velocity stuning shot
- Projectile is piercing and can hit and stun up to 3 targets in row
- DF: Holding and release button (3s max charging) shoot projectile what stun first target, explode and stun others in 120-240 range from first target depend on charge strength

Skill 3
- Pretty much no change to basic attack
- DF: Charging decrease damage on longest range but increase on closest range up to 50% (3s max charging). Also apply 1-3s cripple depend on charge strength

Skill 4
- Remove self knockdown and also immobilize breaker
- DF: You shoot under your feet what provide AoE knockback in 120-240 range depend on charge strength

Skill 5
- Skill now remove immobilize and landing animation is much more smooth
- DF: You turn rifle and shoot backward. It will cause damage (180 degree behind you) blast finisher and push you 800 ft straight forward. 1s max charge

Well ppl what you talking about will never read this topic or even forums. They are rednecks what barely know how to log in and swing the sword.

Legendary kits is solution. I dream about FT what instead basic flame release some flame snake with dragon head:-)

Loot bags are sux. You must constantly pushing ctrl and F. In zerg you manytimes start finishing or ress someone what stop you.
It so frustrating.

I pretty much done all what you can call a progression a long time ago. Its still fun:-)

I open TP and flip it into 2 milions:-)

Well imo PvP leaderboards are crap. For example:
75 Vitek.9418 Vitezslav 13 3 81.25% Aurora Glade

Dont tell me this newbie what barely played is better than for example Teldo.

My engi:
Head, chest and pants, HotW
Boots: SE
Gloves: GW1 reward
Shoulders: Order of Whisper
Dye: Abyss/Redemption

KR is now totaly of kit swaping idea

Changes looks nice on paper but in reality? KR is death There are better traits now.

Culling solution is awesome 60 fps in 100vs100 zerg, no lags no culling. GJ Anet:-)

I dont miss any daily so expect some higher positios:-P

I have 98% crit chance on my engi all depends on gear what you choose

Engi is my main (I have also 4 engi alts just for SP farm and story completition on different races) since bwe1 and i will never change it:-) Other classes are boring.

Yea we are and I love it too:-)

It never was about “no roles here”. Its about playing one or multiple roles with every class you choose without role dedication.

PK is most tarder sytem ever. 99% of PK are kids with decend gear what need boost his ego on exping/afking low lvl players because they failing on equal. I am so glad Anet dont put PK here.

I dont know. Hammer havent that engineering feeling. Wrench is much better. But immo much better will be some mechanical power fists with pistons ect.

Its good idea imo but here will be many ppl what disagree, because multikit builds are very hard to handle.

I sold nostromo while ago because its crap and bought ZBoard Merc Stealth Keyboard (best keyboard ever imo).
Naga is great. I have both classic naga and hex and using hex for gw2. My bind: skils 1-6 on naga pad buttons 7-9 on middle mouse and rest 2 top buttons and elite on keyboard. toolbelt skills on qert, dodge on alt.

There arent white backs afaik so you cant transmute it.

Nope only with Predator in hand.

Great idea man:-)

Imo CoF1 is ok for me DR works as intended.

Imo basic idea of conquest is good but some mechanisms are badly designed, like counting score ect.

So from me its YES and also NO.
