Guild Wars 2

I want meet that guy what put that stupid RNG everywhere (well not everywhere, only on engi because its only class what devs dont play and dont care so much – no Colin smashing dummies rly dont count as playing) and slap his butt over and over again. RANDOMLY with broomstick, pile of spagetti and rubber duck. Maybe after that he will know how we feel when we use his “ideas” in real game.

Afaik they share cooldown.

Engi is very hard to play but most fun

Depends if you are noob what cant handle more that wasd and 2 more buttons or not.

Because devs want learn players how to dodge on dailies

I remember some old teaser video (manifesto or so) Where Colin with American smile No.1 tell us “There are no global cooldows”

I personaly use combination of Abyss Black and Redemption. It looks awesome.

The Spiral King.2483:

Seriously, the only reason I took Med Kit was so I could keep swiftness up easy via Speedy Kits and Centaur Runes.

Just use swap button after Medkit like in SPvP – problem solved. Btw use Speedy kits with Centaur Runes is totaly waste of trait or runes

Its not as bad as it looks. This change affect only 4 kits not all. Imo now you just must choose first kit swap more wisely instead mindlesly slide on kit buttons. Its simply again increase engi learning curve witch is good because I dont want see every 2 button noob play engi:-)

In combat? In SPvP?

Global CD isnt best solution… Why they just dont fix that barrage spread exploit inside of models. Lots of good builds will be negatively sideeffected by this.

My brand new outfit:-)

With my new chill bunker I dont met thief what beat me or even lower my HP for last 2 months. I went on EB jumping puzzle last week and beat there 3 thieves at once. Block burn builds works also well. Chill totaly demolish thieves

zugly.9035:

well If u want to be the top dpser in your party, then don’t play engineer (not saying that engineer can’t keep us with others)
When I play eng as grenadier, other than being good in AOE damage, I mainly look at the number of stack of vulnerability that I can put on boss … which is useful for all party

and as we are a versatile class, you can’t be very good in one thing, but at least we can be good in all

Actualy static discharge build in PvE is much better than 100b war imo

Last time when they “work on us” to improve us its end with 30% grenade nerf:-)

Well we have Kit Refinement Its pretty good deal imo

I am curious if we sometime will have some PvP map what will be actualy about fighting, where runers dont win. Where I get highest score because I kill most players, not just run most captured points. PvP mean player vs player. Devs in Anet forgot that and gives us marathon instead.

Omnio.3652:

You have to look at it from different perspective. We are higly specialized group of people playing very skilled profession and we don’t want anyone to reveal our secrets to outsiders, therefore we don’t let much people to get in. We are secret society, we are Engineers!

I always liked playing less played professions, people don’t know them so much so if you sux, they say whole profession sux, but you eventualy learn your stuff and after that, they usualy go like, oh, I didn’t know.. And thats the best part

I must agree:-) That surprised thieves in WvW when you burst them before they even use stealth are priceless:-P

I can offer you my own bunker what I use in tpvp:-)

Playstyle will be simillar to Reuxs. My build is highly builded around Chill (Runes, Sigils). So try master using chill first:-) Chill totaly demolish classes like Thief (it add them cd, their moves are 66% shorter – you will laught when you see them use HS or that porting arrow with chill:-P). Since I use it I dont met thief what beat me in 1v1, sometime I kill 2 at once. Also its bad for d/d elementalits. You probably dont kill him but also he dont kill you. I was some interesting 15 minutes fights with ely 20 levels above me:-) Other classes are pretty much free kills with chill.
Other utilites are also pretty solid.
- Elixir gun with Kit Refienment trait gives you perma condition removeal, ranged cripple, escape jump and poision spray with is great to decrease enemy healing. Switch on Elixir gun remove fear.
– Static Shot, Pry Bar and Concussion Bomb can make nice stacks of confusion with is great source of damage.
- Use combo fields. Fire Bomb for might, smoke bomb for stealth, light for retaliation and condition removeal.
- And ofc you have perma swiftness from Speedy Kits:-)

Chills and Bombs. Works every time. Chill demolish thieves:-)

I just bought mine amulet.. Rly Anet? I did that stupid daily every day only because I want agony resistance on 40 and now this. Why you always forgot on such BASIC things?

I was same problem after november pre-wintersday patch (never experienced it before since beta). Blackscreens sometime every 10 mins or so. After loooong comunication with support and test everything Anet finaly send me link on Pingzapper and that work as miracle. I use it over 2 months and no black screen since use it, also it fix a lot of lags. Its not free but 18 bucks for 6 months can everyone handle.

Mindless resrushing isnt fun and every noobish kid can do it. Its not Challenge. We did all explo mods in all dungs without anyone in downed. It was hell of the fun make strategies and cooperation to do that!
Players now crying because they are to lazy or stupid to learn any kind of strategies. We live in time where smashing more than 2 buttons in videogame is unacceptable for majority of players.

Robert Hrouda.1327:

Each new piece of AR gear is meant to allow you to progress to further fractal levels, which have increasingly better rewards compounding with higher scaling difficulty.

5 greens instead of 4?

Cantha and Elona ASAP pls:-)

I play in PvE static discharge/perma vigor build with full berserk gear. On lvl 38 fractals still without problem.

Stealth while immobilize is awesome imo (in minor Inventionst isnt some other useful trait anyway) Once some mesmer wrote me how its totaly ruin his single target spike.

Engis traits are fine, personaly only trait what iritating me is Scope where you must “must standing still” witch is against game philosophy of constant moving.

Hammer sux I want BIG Wrench.

I’m Designer Hrouda, and this is my favorite thread on the forum.

That being said, we are always looking at our reward tables. I agree with you that a blue is very unsatisfying of a reward for GL and other instances. Part of our Dungeon work coming down the line is going to involve changing reward tables and whatnot, so please be patient as we work through things as fast as we can.

Problem is every time you “improove drops” – more greens coming. On 36 fractal no rare from chest at all so many times. Frustrating. I dont know why you even spend time to create tons of new blue/green items what was recently added while NOONE will use it (you have almost free rares on TP for every level with all stat types). Its just trash what you sell to vendor (salvage isnt profitable so only vendor). That time where you create them, naming them, adding stats, icons ect you can spend better.

Remove that stupid RNG (i dont understand why you so love RNG – GW2 is next generation game and you keep that 1990 system.) Do it like in pesonal story. On the end table of multiple rewards where players can choose one of them. Add it everywhere.

RNG ISNT FUN.

izzac.4821:

Hi Rozbuska , nice to see your idea and I also running a ice cream build with
30 10 0 10 20

I use sigil of ice and set of Grenth for Chills and other condition,
and I bring 4 kits (med,nades,bomb and tool), i will consider the EG too

well it really work for me since all my Chill duration is 1.5x

I saw your topic:-)

MORTAR TIME:-D

Yesterday I tested this build with Mortar (yes you read right Mortar). Noone use that so I try give it a chance and results are very good.
- 10s chill field is just awesome. Just jump into Mortar, fire 4 and 5 on the ground and leave Mortar. Enemy players most times totaly ignored builded Mortars so you can often go back and fire it multiple times.

Maximize one thing while sacrifice many others (I realy havent 20 points for grenadier:-)) isnt best way. Also I havent anything what I can switch for grenades:-) Bombs has great dmg and combo fields. Concussion and Smoke bombs are just awesome. Toolkit, kitten who can live without Prybaring faces, block and pull:-) Elixir gun, well, double super elixir – best condition removeal in game and retaliation field, decent cripple and leap what save my life so many times:-) Only what grenades in this build can offer is just bit more chill while lose so many.

Yamsandjams.3267:

I’m not really sure about using sigil of ice. Your crit chance will be 24% with fury, meaning about 8% of shots will apply the 2 second chill…

Why not sigil of chilling? Is it just because it is bugged? I don’t know if the sPvP variant of sigil of chilling is bugged, but the major one in PvE/WvW should still give you a duration boost. That would probably have much more usability than a small on-crit effect chance, not to mention the sigil of hydromancy would put the sigil of ice on cooldown due to shared cooldowns.

You can also get more chill if you go with the grenade kit, but maybe that’s going a bit too extreme for what you want with this build.

Hmm I dont realize it share CD. But 10% isnt so much. Instead of this will maybe better condi stack or leeching sigil.
More chill is extreme and grenades in low dmg build is little waste.

milo.6942:

I’ve not tested this, or even played my engineer in a long while, but wouldn’t the rabid amulet be a better choice? higher condi dps, but more importantly a higher precision -> more chance to crit -> more chance to chill?

Soldier is much more better for bunker even if you use pure condition build. Bonus from runes and carrion jewel give you enough condi dmg.
Crit looks very low but it still proc very often imo.

Hi fellow engis:-) As first I must apologize for my bad english and as second I want introduce my supreme semi-bunker (more bunker then semi) build witch I use in tournamens with great success.

(copy&paste link if click dont work)

Few Tips:
- This build is very hard to handle because you will be operate with 4 kits and switch them very often
- Build is builded around high survability and almost perma chill – chill is amazing debuff and many ppl quite ignore him. 66% slow and cooldown increase totaly demolish class with quickbased builds like HS thieves. Its stack in duration so its not so much matter in how order and timeline you will triger it.
- Doing damage is quite tricky. I usualy starts with stacking confusion from Pry Bar, Conccusion Bomb and Static Shot. Then use pistol&bombs combo on melee and pistol&elixir gun combo on ranged enemies and also all other utilites for various situation. Its simillar to other pistol&shield bunkers.
- Super Elixir is amazing for condition remove be sure you have one always underfoot (especialy against necros). Also dont forget blast in this field for retaliation.

I am not so good in describe tactics but if you have any questions..:-)

//Edit: change sigil due to discusion:-)

Yea I know these type of ppl. On the start they dont want take you because of your profession and deeply apologize on the end:-)

loseridoit.2756:

for some reason. it sound like he skip every fractal until he roll swamp or underwater[/quote]
He want skip underwater too. He must buy that account or I dont know how he achieve AR 30 and level 32

Zlociutki.9165:

Did you check his Fractal lvl, AR gear?
Maybe it was a guy below 30 lvl that jast go for daily without the proper skills.
We should be able to see others fractal lvl like character lvl.

He had AR30 (get same dmg on Jade as me)

And now they remove legendary look from toolbelt skills. Barrage was so awesome with my predator.

We never kick anyone but yesterday we took one random guardian and on the end we was so close to kick that !@#$.
- 32 fractals and he dont know what is combo field and finisher,
- We start in water. He multiple times click on leave this fractal because “dolphin phase is imposible to make”.
- Mindlesly rush into mobs in Ascalon and die on every group and cry.
- On boss die in the middle of meteors and starts yelling why noone come and ress him.
- In Colossus fractal die 5 times for too many hammerstacks and twice while pickup hammer with low HP.
- He also kill last cultist so mobs spawn in both sides.
- Our mesmer must port him through winds because he still falling (We try him learn how to use stability but after 10 minutes fo chating we found when he dont buy any stability skill at all and havent skill points for that (on lvl 32 fractals kitten .
- At all he die and cry on almost every encounter.
- His failuring dont stop him in writing tons of advices about what we must do what we do wrong and how bad players we are.

Some players simply deserve a kick.

With right strategy and skill you can easily do all dungeons without wipe or even die. Until now dungeonst was waypoint rush pugfest. Best change ever! But I agree noobs will cry now because it was only way how they can handle it.

“Transmuting weapons now preserves the higher rarity of the two items.”

So.. I Can now safely transmute my legendary to get usefull stats from some 80 exotic and keep legendary status and for future legendary stat upgrade to ascended weapons level?

I agree. I drop it 7 times and I sure dont need them all:-D

Zsymon.8457:

At level 1, my character did 40 damage.

At level 2, my character still does 40 damage, despite having higher power.
At level 7, my character still does 40 damage, despite having higher power.

When I was downleveled from level 7 to level 6, my damage dropped to 38, which is
below the damage I did at level 1 without being downleveled.

Its not a bug you just accidently start play an Engineer:-P

It works well for me. You must wait while mob/player start some attack animation and then use dodge to see bunch of “evade” on screen. I did it very easily on Tars in Orr they have very well noticeable ranged attack.

Most amazing is that flame efect while you use invis like spykit – flaming invis:-)

No Unicorns.. But they dont said nothing about multicorns..:-)

Sure its viable. I personaly still using static discharge build with great success. Full berserk gear with ascended power, prec, crit dmg items, precision, crit dmg food and oil. Divinity runes and two rifles one with precision stacking and second with rune of fire.
When stacked and buffed with Fury – 3200 attack, 97% crit chance and 118% crit dmg. I am a bit squishy but I have range burst better then 100b warrior on melee, perma swiftness and massive endurance regeneration. Usualy my kill/death ratio is 20:1:-)

They need copy GW1 not WoW. There was much better ideas then Blizz even imagine.

LA dead? There are permanent overflows since fotm patch did you even play this game in past few months?

Like a Boss:-)
