Guild Wars 2

They didnt buffed us at all, but they are nerfed food = nerfed FT and Grenades.
Also, they are nerfed Scale Venom item = nerfed FT and Grenades.
And KR trait was pretty good. Not IMBA like most of Elems skills and traits - just good. Now - it’s suxx.

Isn’t it obvious?

I really didn’t have any ideas why they are nerfed us again... as in every patch...
There was always low number of Engineers, but they are nerfed us again and again, patch by patch...

What they want? Let they’ll just delete the Engineer class and all will be OK.

God, my Engi have 97% World completiton and I think it will never be done - just dont wanna do that...

Thank God I have a lot of another classes to play, but... but it suxx anyway... I’d hoped this patch will be a good for Engineers so much... "thank you" aNet...

And omnomberry food!

Iehova.9518:

Good day,

There are way too many changes which are mysteriously “left” out of the patch notes. Please provide better documentation of the changes.

That is all.

Any examples?

This patch - is huge nerf for engineers.
And I’m not talking about bug fixes - it can not be a BUFF - it’s just a FIX.

I have more disliked thing than liked. Even like that: most of thing are disliked for me.
Maybe I like only Flamethrower#2 remake and... that’s all.

Anet only ruins WvW - you must already see that.

Congratilations with once more Elem buff.

What is more overpowered class in the game now? Elem or Guard - not sure...

Anet focused on the Engis since release date...
Is it good or bad?
Sure, bad, coz they are focuse on us in the nerfs only...
Look at all patches - nerfs only. Visible nerfs or hidden - doesn’t matter.

nakoda.4213:

the change to FT#3 increases your overall dmg output by ensuring your foe stays burning, or anything stays burning.

Flame sigil just became a 100% must in the FT build for maximum output.

FT#3 doing what? It sends your target(s) away from the #1 ! Yeah, great increase, especially for power builds, Oh, you are forgot FT for power builds only?

Flame sigil what? With 5 sec CD? Think before posting!

The Gates Assassin.9827:

I tested flamethrower again. Few things:

1) It’s MUCH more intuitive – I was able to hit with everything fairly well and only the auto attack seemed weird.

2) The autoattack range still doesn’t match up with animation – My flames STILL hit, but I “miss” the target.

3) This is inferior in damage to Bomb and Grenade kit. This is a low skill and less damage version of those two kits. It really shouldn’t be a kit for people who can’t handle harder kits. Make it what it really should be: Point defense. Give skill 2 less damage and a knock back. Making this a mid range damage kit makes it inferior to other damage kits.

4) Skill 4 and 5 still feel out of place. I understand how to use them, but it feels like a stretch.

5) The 10% vs burning is too minimal. I honestly didn’t even notice it.

Overall: You still have to work way harder with this kit for less of an effect than other kits. Make it a CC kit.

Fully agree
And you are forgot about Omnomberry food – our hidden surprise. But it’s nerfed like hell too – 1 sec CD it’s… it’s… God…

So, this patch – incredible FT nerf.

Make Commander icon more larger and let it will not reduce it’s size at distanse (like the current "Target" icon)

Arimahn.3568, kk, I c, ty...

So, omnomberry pie nerf is double nerf, and freaking incredible nerf for the Engineers.

Anet, why just not delete the Engineer class? Why you always, every patch nerfing us and upping already IMBA-classes (Elem, Warrior, Thief, Guard)???

Lalangamena.3694:

The new patch is AWESOME!
ty to the devs!

No, it’s not.

Said it as Engineer and as WvWer.

chtiyonki.6284:

Just to be clear, Omnomberry Ghost/Pie wasn’t only regenerating you of 330 Health but also doing 330 damages to the opponent making a gap of 660 Health between you and him.

Any proofs of this?

Isn’t that how life steal works?

I think not. It takes part of the ALREADY done crit.hit – no extra hits.

Anyway, I,ve never seen any “extra” numbers from my targets

marc.6380:

This new Update have given new life too the game

Stuff to do with guildies
we got a new Goal to go after (new missions)
Buq fix (always nice) still need to fix warrriors rush.

More rares in the game giving the opstion to grind faster / easy the mats you need for things

Better drop at Dragoons and so on

more new gear to get

Guild mission= endgame for me :p so nice finnaly having some endgame in this game.

Clear example of the targets of the new patch…

Point of view from the WvW:

What I’m thinking about this patch? Hmmm...

Patch for the lol-PvE-carebears and many nerfs for WvWers (especially coz carma-items and food). They a ruined WvW again, good work to decreasing the game popularity

What else?

OP-classes becomes even more powerful (Elem, Guard).
UP-classes recieved a very-very little bufs, BUT with nerfs also (yes, I’ve mean Engineer), so nothing was changed here or even becomes worse.

Anet-style, can’t say more.

God kitten it!
They just made this food (with reactive heal) is COMPLETELLY useless.

1 sec cooldown = 330 HP per second. LOL, just LOL. Who will need it anymore? Noone, sure.
Before the patch you have a chance to recieve more than that per hit (hits faster or AOE - doesnt matter), but if someone will focus you - you will die anyway coz incoming DPS very often was more than 4-5k even with 3200 TOU.
Now - this food is useless, 330 HP/sec - just lol.

As I’ve said earlier - they just ruins their own game, they are ruins WvW completely.
g00d work, ANET, go on, more patches for the carebears, who even didnt have a money to buy the same food
:facepalm:

Rabid gear? Precision / toughness / cond damage?
But I’m confused - your Power seems as high too...

It already exists, it’s called the transmutation stone.

Read 1st post again.

That’s what I did silver and yes you can unsoulbind stuff with transmutation stone. You make it accountbound. Isn’t that enough?

There wasnt any words about view of items.
What if I want to unbind whole item (stats+view), not just view or stats?

thieves wants more power, lol

Sirendor.1394:

It already exists, it’s called the transmutation stone.

Read 1st post again.

Nearly 70k with #2 skill to the white rabbit

Am I winner? Where is my prise?

Let they remove grenades spread and pistol’s #2 spread also.

What point in "some_class" focused guilds?

PTV for ranger? Most useless class for WvW and you want to make him more useless? Hmmm... great idea! ^^

Good idea and nothing wrong if it will work with everything

This is so absolutely pointless, and would simply add thousands of lines of spam to my otherwise ok log.

Ranger, longbow 5 in WvW. I don’t need to know that I just hit 40 people 10 times, and how much damage it did, it’s bad enough every one of those numbers came up on my screen.

Try to read before post.
I’m suggesting to optionally on/off any of types too.

You can already turn off combat chat if you so choose, it would only stand to reason they would allow you to filter it via the actual combat tab (I would hope)

God, man, what you talking about?

If YOU dont want to see something – YOU will be able to uncheck it and never see it.

But I AM want to see EVRETHING! And in the another chat tab!

Arkham Creed.7358:

Funny, my flamethrower must be the exception; I destroy everything with ease and have some of the highest sustained damage around. Maybe the problem isn’t the kit, but rather the build you are using it in? Just a thought.

That said I do agree that the constant “miss” spam on the screen if you’re not perfectly alined with your target is annoying could stand to be fixed. But really that is the only issue with the flamethrower. Also the whole “three target max” thing is odd to me, perhaps it is different in PvP; I’ve not tested it against large groups of players so I can’t say, but in PvE it burns EVERYTHING. Way more than just five targets.

1st part of your post is completely useless and flammable

2nd part of your post clearly shows your low experience with FT.

Anyway, thx fo up.

“Are Engis Weak?”
yes, they are.

very simple way to check it – look at the class population (at high lvl locations sure) – very-very low number of Engis you’ll see around. And a tons of thieves, warriors and elems.

“Hard to learn, hard to master.”
Elems are harder to play properly, it very hard to master too.
But elem will give you a tons of proof if you are playing elem like a noob and even more – if like a pro.

You can play like a Bruce Lee with your Engi and you will be just a middle anyway.

That’s not entirely true. Engineer demands a lot of skill from the user, the learning curve is slow, but very fun, eles also require skill, but trust me, nothing needs more skill and dedication than an engineer.

When you master your engineer, you are able to adapt to certain situations, for example, you use a set of kits for dungeons, but you change it for WvW, you dont stick with a single set of skills.

I can tell you that I’ve defeated all professions in 1v1 match, I’m not saying that I’m unbeatable, but I can tell you at least I’ve won 65% of the times, and I do it a lot.

I also do fine at dungeons, I wouldn’t say contrary to what most ppl think, cause the truth is that a non skilful engi will make the dungeon a nightmare, but also people don’t really know what a good engi can do for them.

And it’s fun =D

1vs1? And? It’s absolutely pointless at WvW.
Most of classes have a specs to beat anyone in 1vs1 fight but this specs will be absolutely useless at WvW.

Also, who cares about 1vs1 or PvE? This is very bad way to balanse classes.

"Engi’s role in dungeons?"
DPS and Tank

I’ve found incredible anti-thief combo: knight set and flamethrower. And food for heal.
And any thieves will go down (if stupid or in rage) or just go away.

google.3709:

the problem with engi is… the player!!

Engi is not a simple class, you wont get a 10k from backstab like a theif, 25k burst from a HB warrior, or the stupid healing from a guardian.. what do all those classes have in common, the player only gotta press 1 skill.. that takes skill doesnt it ?

Engineer’s for me, they are more about combos and setting up spikes.. if you play kits, you have dozens of different options like;

Setting up conclusion bomb and then quickly using acid comb ( elixir kit ) to leave an AoE and get out meele range, takes 1 seconds and does 4-5k per second on berserkers

if being chased, set up a big ol’ bomb > dodge backwards > immobilize > blunderbuss etc

Drop a smoke bomb and dance around for a few secs while you DPS..

need a quick snare? switch to granade kit and drop a freeze granade and then back out to your weapon

kit refinement trait tricks ;
-Switch to Elixir gun and #5 Super Elixir.. that’s 2 AoE light fields that remove condition and heal overtime on a short CD..

While you will do all of this combo your allies zerg will slain enemies or enemies zerg will slain you. And you will be without bags anyway, lol

Hi there!
Instead of making this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1ZCMWM_qUE
much better if you will buff Engineers!
Tyvm.

Disagree.
It will made WvW-queues too long.

There is no any "100% completion" problems.

Siofra Crumble.2098:

Could you be any more of a stereotypical forum tough guy Silver?
It’s become way clear that you have little affinity with engineer and are envious of the players that do handle engineer well.
But then again, you act as if you are the only good player and everyone else is just horrible.
What’s the point of trash talking on forums anyway? Grow up man.

I usually ignore rampant kittens like you.
I can’t even believe I’m dignifying your useless post with an answer.
Just stick with warrior and don’t come back here. Please.

You wrong if you think you know what I’m talking about. And yes, condemnations from teh some PVE-noname it’s… it’s… it’s so sadly! ^^

Maskaganda.2043:

Thes best part is that feeling of downing 2-3 noobies

Little fix.

Guess you don’t play engineer.

Guess you can’t read signs

It was something about knowledge of the game: you know something, you are using it and you have profit.

But seems like they want to make WvW with sPVP rules - all are equals.
And this is sucks.

Nothing wrong with teleports.
If someone cannot scouting - let he will loose keeps.
Period.

Anyway, cry of PVE-girls and carebears are so funny ^^

Already know this.

Bad... no, worst news, anyway

diabluz.2860:

1. Siege equipment is too expensive. People hold back from using siege too often because of the high cost and high probability it will be destroyed or abandoned shortly thereafter.

2. Repairs should be free while in WvW. Major design flaw when you lose more money in WvW than you gain.

These are just two of the major issues with WvW as is. If ArenaNet ever wants this game to reach it’s potential they need to fix these issues asap.

This is not major issues.

Daddicus.6128:

I can’t figure out why anybody plays WvWvW. There are no rewards, huge costs, and the outcome of all battles is determined strictly by which side happens to have the most players.

Can someone please explain what motivates people to play WvWvW?

Thank you.

Are you afraid of WWW? ^^

Because ppl in the whole World prefer to kill each other, but not stupid mobs!

Matt Witter.6982:

Skale Venom … have been removed

You only ruins this game.

Best part of playing Engineer is ability to greatly steal loot from mates. Dosent matter PVE or WvW.
Even if you know your DPS is not enough to kill your foes.
The only thing Engi can doing good - is stealing loot. And do not trust anyone who will talking about good DPS of Engi, good CC or good survive - another classes can do all of that musch better.

Maskaganda.2043:

Little fix.

Yup, sure, Far easier way to get gold in the GW2 is to buy it from goldsellers (but not for gems! it have 2-3 times more cost!) and after that spent it to cultural armor or legendary weapon...

"Are Engis Weak?"
yes, they are.

very simple way to check it - look at the class population (at high lvl locations sure) - very-very low number of Engis you’ll see around. And a tons of thieves, warriors and elems.
