Guild Wars 2

I didn’t know that they buffed it in the patch but still #1 skill needs to be faster specially the third hit, and yeah the tool belt is really good.

I think you should post this in the discussion thread and not on Engineer thread so that more people can read! Helpful post.

For a kit that is considered tier 3 and needs 6 sp to unlock it’s not good. I like melee once in a while so I equip my tool kit for the auto attack but it sucks and the other 4 skills suck too and right now I don’t think anyone uses it, so I think you should make it more useful by increasing range and attack speed of skill #1, increase bleeding and cripple time for #2, #3 skill is fine and the block is ok, and increase the speed and range of #5.
I know it also heals turrets but in PvE you’re always on the move and mobs die before the turrets get destroyed anyway.

Edit: now that I have read the patch notes I think a change is only needed for the auto attack and the box of nails (maybe faster cast times)

Edit: after reading replies I think tool kit is viable in WvW but still not in PvE for those reasons:
you don’t need to pull enemies towards you because normally they’ll be running to you anyway thus nullifying #5, condition damage doesn’t mean that much (if you are with a group and everyone is stacking) thus nullifying #2, and I’m not sure about confusion in PvE, and I only found the shield useful in the new shores map where karka hit you with like 6 rapid hits first and blocking them feels good, leaving the auto attack skill that is only viable in PvE and it’s not that good.

I feel you bro, I wanna play with tool kit but it sucks

Lol it’s called kill stealing and it’s a tournament mechanic.

Looks fishy. Don’t do anything and wait for an official response.

Drama queens! If you don’t like the game, don’t play it

Engineers, because they take more skill than most professions to play.

I play condition thief at tournaments and I still own people, thieves are still viable.

so much kittening lag

kitten this kitten motherkittening kitten

I play Engineer and don’t find it hard but challenging I like it…

Yup I just encountered the same lag as yesterday then I crashed! I can’t believe they were not prepared for this, even the event still has a bug (Noll)

screen shot or it didn’t happen!

Yup happened to me in a tourny match and I had to relog…

yes just happened to me in a tourny match! I had to relog

If only leveling up was harder, it would’ve solved a lot of problems. But then again… people will whine about leveling being hard…

Once in WvW I was trying my Guardian for the first time and walked up a hill to see 20+ invaders taking our camp, and I was standing with 3 others from my server when suddenly the invaders turn around and start running our way so we all run except I am too slow to catch up and was left behind and was looking back just to see more than 20 invaders running towards me with a Norn warrior in the lead just rushing and charging towards me until he knocks me down and I just lay down while they are all literally ripping me apart just saying “have mercy” :p.

Isn’t this the case with all MMO games?

Agree with OP, my friend got the game like a week ago and entered a 8v8 match for the first time and got 11 kills and he thought he was good so I told him to go to an empty room so I can play against him 1v1 and I killed him like 5 or 6 times easily without even losing 25% of my HP. My point is, the current 8v8 matches are just for fun, you gain little skill only. The lesser players are in a match = more skill, more players = fun only.

L2confuse your enemy, the more skills they cast the more dmg they take simple

The thing is, people have learned to do setups for quickness, how can I confuse when I get knocked back and a warrior is hitting my with HB with double the speed? I’m dead before I get up! Also with my Engineer I can do many setups to use my 5 seconds of quickness that you can’t counter or have time to confuse me, don’t defend quickness, it is broken.

Nice job man! this chart can be used to classify tiers:
A-Tier: Guardian.
B-Tier: Thief, Mesmer.
C-Tier: Warrior, Elementalist, Necromancer, Engineer.
D-Tier: Rangers.

I play an Engineer and have quickness myself, but overall across all characters its absurd to have double DPS.

Please remove quickness from sPvP, it’s just stupid and I’m not going to explain why because you already know

seems that they don’t wanna fix this because they keep ignoring the posts

wow I play an Engineer and use elixir gun with that trait but never noticed what you have just mentioned, I’ll do some testing.

Yup, I couldn’t finish the tower because I kept getting teleported back for no reason! And also I got teleported outside of the tower.

I love the zoom out!!

I keep getting kicked out of the tower for no reason like I fell or something and sometimes I fall into the water beside the tower, here is a screen shot.

Why do players level only show when we finish the match? I mean I don’t think anyone looks at the score board after the match ends because basically everyone just closes it and continue playing until the loading screen so why not just show them all the time?

And why there is no kill streak rewards or something now whenever someone reaches 5 kills we get player name is on a rampage and almost everyone in every match gets those 5 kills so why not just give the rampage title to someone who just killed 5 without dieing and give a boon to players who get 10 kills without dieing like 10 seconds of fury for example.

Yeah sometimes when you win you will go to mists and wait until other teams finish the first round also

Kinda agree with you, I play an Engineer and whenever I face a Gaurdian 1 on 1 I really have a hard time killing him (battering ram and #4 skill on rifle usually fail because of what you have mentioned) but at the same time he is unable to kill me so we just attack each other until team members join in the fight.

There are about 4 of these Halloween Mystic Doors that are bugged in Gendarran Fields in the area around Provern Shore, they are stuck open since after the patch I think.

I’ve attached a screenshot of one of these doors.

Get a high level player to assist you get there, people are helpful.

Halloween and European players? Try Halloween and Middle Eastern players !
I live in the United Arab Emirates and the event will probably start at 4 AM !!

Is this build for PvE, sPvP, or WvWvW?
Also, your link is bad.

I agree! I hate clicking “Y” or “G” every now and then to check if my friends, or guild mates have logged in yet.

Play an Engineer.

yeah and I hate it when players just stand away and spam ranged skills I’ll be like COME ON KILL ME ALREADY

I agree that spvp has a lot of issues and one suggestion to improve it a bit is to not allow players to quit after a minute or so from the start of the match.

yeah I noticed sometimes I don’t get any exp from new waypoints

and what is “Orr” ?

how do you view your gameplay hours ?

I think you need to talk to someone in the game to claim your reward. I saw another thread here and they explained how so look for it.

I’m an engineer and I can barely defeat thieves in PvP. I think engineers are bad against them.

I disagree, she’s a boss, and bosses SHOULD be hard. I fought the witch with a group 3 times and won 2 times and if we are able to kill it every time then it won’t be challenging and not fun.

yeah, capturing points gets really boring after a while and they don’t even show statistics after the match like who got the most kills, most captures, etc…

happened to me like 5 times yesterday had to alt+f4 every time
