Guild Wars 2

1vs1 not against every player and this kind of fights means nothing in the main part of the game: WvWvW

atheria.2837:

anet, you are pushing players over the edge on this issue – Rangers need attention soon or you will start seeing a precipitous drop in players eventually

Lol, no, coz Ranger population is extremely low. And most of them will prefer to roll anorher class better range-DPSer: Elem, warrior even a thief ^^

Look at the Engineers – Engi was always less popular class in the every game aspect but they are continue to nerf Engis ))))

"but Ranger puts out more or equal"
No, never and ever

"not relying on adrenaline etc"
Dunno what you talking about... Warriors can use Adrenaline skills every 10 sec and their most DPS skills have low cooldown too

Veji.7639:

Ok, so first I just wanna say I did search the forums but didn’t find any topics about just Kit skins.

So basically this is a suggestion about adding skins to equip for all the different kits the engineer has. For example: I personally think its a bit boring, not beeing able to get another “cooler” or “funnier” flamethrower skin that i can use. I want to be able to look a bit different when I use my kits aswell.

Signed

This game not like another games, and light armored class can have better survivablity than heavy armored (f.e. Elementalist)

"using 100 blades combo?"
Obviously
and build with axes.
Rifle warrior will easy overdamage ranger too

You’ve missed Sigil of Corruption in the weapon slots
And Spike trap

Elixir R is far better than Elixir U for support specs.
And Elixir S is far better than Elixir C

P.S. Only we need to know is for what for you created this build and what a kind of armor you’ll use.

Unspecified.9142:

it’s your fault in some way.

Not, sure not.
That’s was their own fault – to take ranger into fractals ^^

Dabrixmgp.4758:

What is Engineer’s role in a group?

Make culling for enemies, recieve part of AOE damage from Warriors and Guards, tell fun stories,

coglin.1496:

If you want AoEs

so roll Elem or Warrior

very "useful" patch.
Now, Engi didnt have any problems and that class will be popular like the Thief.
Good work, Arena ...

/facepalm

Hey!
Is the Flamethrower already got fixed?

"For ease of leveling and the best condition damage which class is better?"
Any class have good lvling with crafting.
Anyway: Warrior, Guard, Elem, Engineer

"Also once I hit 80 if I need some gold for maybe PLing an alt via crafting who will farm better?"
Direct damage class at the Orr events: Elem, Warrior, Engineer (with flamethrower)

"Finally which performs better in groups for both PvE and WvW?"
Warrior, Guard, Elem.

Forget about ranger - most unneeded class in the group play.

Entropy.4732:

Is the Sigil of fire AOE flame blast localized on the player or the target?

on the affected by crit enemy

Vitality means nothing at WWW - just 1-2 more hits to kill you.
Toughness >>> all

Full Exo Knight pwns

Engineer downed skills more worser, so stop whine

SilverWF.4789:

And any good plyer will evade of your grenades... just walking! not even running ><

If you’re talking about sPvP, you can always set it up with the lowest cooldown root in the game to land your freeze grenades. After that, you should be landing every grenade. Overcharged shot works as backup. c:

I’m talking about main part of the game - WvWvW. Because WWW this game have so many servers and big popularity.

Lowest cooldown? Not, Necro have the same CD, but his skill is more usable. Elem have 2 times more CD with staff, but his skill more usable too. With daggers - he have lowest CD on chill.

Forget about grenades:
this thread about FT
after they had mindless nerf grenades - this is nearly useless kit.

Anyway, you can use anything you want - always love if our enemies have a lot of weak classes (Engi, Ranger, etc...)

Why you created this post? Nothing useful here - just emotions...

In the berserker you will be the source of the ’good number’ and will be oneshotted in the seconds.

Bynji.1907:

Strengths:
Cone based autoattack
Conditions just by autoattacking
Barrage based autoattack
Decent utility, combo fields and AaE blind, projectile reflect if you feel courageous

Cone AA have most of classes but with bigger AOE targets limit.
Conditions at AA have any class
barrage based - have many classes and it will becomes nightmare after you will meet with some retaliationed enemies.
it have many classes too and much better utility, fields, traits...

Bynji.1907:

constant stream of might

tested it nearly 1 hour in the Mysts. Two pistols with ’30% gain Might...’ sigils in each hand. best result: 14 stacks after 5 minutes(!!!!!) of continous barraging pack of golems. 7 stacks from that stacks - from the Juggernaut trait. So I didnt see any "constant streams"

Warrior have that stream:
it will be enough to use one skill into the zerg to gain 30 sec of Fury - Bladetrail (12 sec CD!!!)
after that use whirlwind attack (8 sec CD!) in the zerg and you will have 25 stacks after that combo.
Add here ’For great justice’ and ’signet of rage’ - will you talk about ’good skills’ anymore?

LieutenantGoogle.7326:

If you are looking for damage, grenades are where its at.

Yeah! And you will have deal with the same retaliation and, additionally, with the reflect projective skills - it’s soooo cool, especially after Grenade Barrage ><

And any good plyer will evade of your grenades... just walking! not even running ><

Khezekiah Bellamy.5016:

Elixir gun does 242 dmg, grenade does 200 twice, and tool kit does 484. if they all had the same attack why do they do different damage?

Maybe it because they all have different skill damage, no? Why you asking so obvious things?

GuilguiS.2738:

Maybe you all use riffles but the kit base damage does scale with the highest rarity weapons, with the one-haded ones. equip you dual pistols or pistol and shield and the switch to the kits. the base damage doesn’t go down. They never said it would take the base damage from the weapon you are equipped with. I believe that the kit base damage was even smaller than the one-handed weapons before, so still a buff.

I’d wrote it earlier – why you didnt read it?

Anyway, flamethrower – two-handed weapon! So it must have attack power like another 2h Engi weapon – rifle

It would be great if they can add Cyrillic in the private, party and guild chats only.
And I’m against cyrillic in the any global chats (map, team, say, etc.)

P.S. I’m Russian.

"BRING BACK point-click for movement"
No way! Learn to play!

hi there!
Please, add kit to extraction sigils, runes. orbs, etc. without destroying an item with both 100% chances (100% to extract and to not break an item)
To the GemStore sure.
Maybe for 100 gems per 1 item with 1 charge.

Thank you.

Sporadicus.1028:

FT does damage to up to 3 enemies within the cone along with a 1 second burn at the end. Add the burn together with the total FT damage makes it higher than the 2.7k damage.

I’d wrote about attack power, not damage dealt

Man, forget about Mortar - it’s useless completely in PVE.
It can be useful in very rare situation at WWW and not for you, but for your allies without good range AOE.

http://en.gw2skills.net/combo/generator/

Crisvok.9307:

what elite skills would engis here say is the best?

Depends on race:
Human – Hounds of Balthazar
Charr – Warband Support

Other races or at sPVP – Supply Crate, sure.

Mortar can be useful at the very rare situations at WWW- you’ll deploy it at the wall and your allies (withoud good range AOE) can use it.

I like Engi too - it was my 1st 80 character...

Blakey.5670:

I agree with all of it , although i would like to add these:

1. The flamethrower main issue for me is it’s random misses. It happens when you’re not centered correctly on targets and on alot of objects (gates,boxes,etc.).
Really is random and can ruin your day when it happens in the wrong time.

2. Am i the only one that finds flame blast to be fine as it is?
I like how it passes through targets. That way i get the impact damage on more then 1 guy. It’s great.
Yes you need to be at a certain distance to get the impact blast, But that came to me easily after using the flamethrower for some time.

3. I really think they should change the knockback on 3 to a knockdown. Only for the sake of making the kit more powerful. It is after all a pretty meh kit.

4. Smoke vent is a silly ability. It’s the weakest ever number 5 .
Should really spice it out abit. Don’t need to go overboard, but maybe just change it.
Elementist fire school resembles engnieers FT. Yes all of their skills are great.

1. Fully agree here.

2. No, it’s unusable: sure, everyone can use this blast damage at the 1st time, but after that: Target in the melee, or target at the FJ distance (400) and out of blast radius anyway. So after fight starts blast becomes fully unusable.

3. Disagree – it’s a great weapon against enemies and projectiles, but they need to make it wider and AOE!

4. I think, they need to make it like Napalm – ground target AOE. but now it’s usable too – especially, against thieves. They need to make lasting AOE effect – 5 sec will be enough (like 5th offhand pistol thieves skill)

Knox.3748:

Does the toughness trait on using a flamethrower scales with the toughness trait on using a shield? Because if it does, ill create a little monster :>

Maybe yes, maybe not - it doesn’t matter, really
Even plus 200 TOU do not making "little monster" from Engi, so plus 90 TOU will not make it too.
I have more than 3100 Defence at WWW and this is really not enough against numbered enemies. This is not enough against veterans and champs in the insts.
Maybe it’s ok against 1 enemy, but so little scale fights means nothing.

Rifle warrior > Rifle Engineer
Melee warrior >> Melee Engineer
Burst warrior >> Burst Engineer
Tank or Support Warrior >>> Tank or Support Engineer
WWW warrior >>>WWW Engineer
PVE warrior >>>> PVE Engineer
(dont playing at sPVP too much, so will not talk about that classes there. And I’m sure, sPVP - it’s just cutted full game, so we must not look at this part of the game)

So, anyway, Warrior > Engineer

This is obvious things, don’t even want to explain it.

I have both of this classes and I know what I’m talking about.

What a reason to post some low-lvl questions about skill points? At this levels really doesnt matter what you using for mobs killing.
And at the 80 lvl you will have all skills.

Grenades really worse bundle now, since they nerf their damage by 30% ><
And mortar sucks too, even if you will have traits for it.

Use flamthrower’s 1st skill untill you will understand your class completely - it really rocks for noobies.

Hi there, here is my suggestions about FT bundle

* Flame Jet - make it’s cone of fire more wider (especially at start point) and maybe, more longer (up to 600). I’ll agree if this effect will be added to the Juggernaut or Deadly Mixture traits.
* Flame Jet - reduce casting time from the 2.25 sec to 1.75 sec, but with the same damage and number of attacks
* Flame Jet - improove maximum affected targets to 5, because now it’s only 3! WTF? Is that AOE more powerful than another classes AOEs? Not, it’s weaker!
* Flame Blast - make it blasts at the 1st collision, not at max distance! Coz now this skill is mostly unusable. So funny: blast happens out of cone of fire of the Flame Jet skill, LOL.
* Napalm - remake it AOE-mask from line to circle with 240 radius.
* Air Blast - make the cone of fire more wider and effect more visible
* Smoke Vent - make this effect more visible and let it will leave field of smoke with the old radius (180) for 5 seconds (like 5th skill of thieves offhand pistol)
* Icendiary ammo - decrease cooldown of this gadget skill to 20 sec at base, or remake it into something more useful in comparsion with other gadget skills.
* FT base attack stats must be equal to rifle! Now it’s equal to exotic pistol, even if you have exo rifle equipped

There is still error there, I’m sure

My Engi have full Exo equip: armor, trinkets, etc.
Also he have rifle and pistol/shield.

So, why my flamethrower gives me attack that equal to my pistol, not rifle?
FT - two-handed weapon!

Equipped rifle (A 3k) - with FT attack=2.7k
Equipped Pistol+shield (a 2.7k) - with FT attack=2.7k

Please fix it! Flamethrower (also as any our bundle) - twohanded weapon, so it’s attack power must be eqal to usual twohanded weapon - rifle, not to onehanded pistol!

And if we talking about WvWvW, Anet must listen to big guilds, not to random soloers.
That’s my opinion.

Dear Anet, your new culling system is completely worse.
Even old system was much better!

God, even in the PVE we have culling now!
Especially in Cursed Shore.
Please turn old system back!

Thank you.

So most of dominating WWW-worlds will recieve (WWW) suffix and another - (PVE)

What is wrong here? You, PVE-lovers, will still able to go to WWW at your (PVE) servers, but at your own-skill level.

Q: When you improve render characters issues? Coz 100 visible players - is just lame!
A: Never! We will only improve unneeded sPVP things, maybe PVE-things, but forget about WWW!

And nothing funny. I’m seriously thinking, devs going that way ><

So what?
If I want NOT to try WWW but win 24/7 - what I need to do? Be at the same server with PVE-girls, who will never able to playing WWW hard?

will see, will see...

Agree, "downed state" - just a crazy and unneeded thing. Just make all characters with double HP and completely remove downed state.

FrouFrou.4958:

What does SFR and ER have to do with this?

http://mos.millenium.org/matchups

look at weekly income. if they have holidays – how can thay playing so good?
or you thinkig at differend servers playing different creatures from different planets?

low lvl players have a big stats boost.
test it again with 80 exo thief and in nearly same spec.

1st: Culling.
kitten it’s just crazy! What they tested before? Close sPVP servers and give more power to WWW-servers! or let they ask Lineage2 developers for help. "100 visible persons limit" - never seen that stupidity before ><
I really didnt care how you will do that. WWW - WORLDs WAR. what world have only 50 ppls? Lol, just LOL, that a number one problem! You must fix it!

2nd: enemy players names
I want see their names! I want they’ll see my name. Period.

3rd. Dunno... first two problems have a biggest priority, so... So just fix it first.

I prefer to play at the same server with players who prefer WWW.
Yes, they can play PVE or sPVP, but mostly - WWW.
And if my server will full of PVE-crabs - I’ll transfer to the WWW-server.
Period.

Tzun.6073:

Well, that may be so ( BT going down ) but don’t jump servers again, do try and make it better. Don’t you think IRON has sometimes felt tired of having to work REAL HARD to keep desolation somewhat safe? ( Along with other guilds who’ve been there for the rough ) Please RG & NUG and any other server considering jumping off… just work a bit harder and try and get some other guilds from somewhere else to help you out, there’s got to be more eastern european people around!

Anywho, good match up, ^^

There is no analogies like “my server = my motherland, so I’ll fight for it untill the death”.
Server – it’s just a team, for example, professional football team. If most of players of that team is worse – what reason for good player to loose every time with them? No any reasons, and any good player will look for good team with good players. A team, membership in it will not be a disgrace.

Sure, BT have some good teams, but it not enough to win against two servers full of active WWW-players: guild-teams and tons of randoms too.

FrouFrou.4958:

Just wait and see how it goes after the reset since everyone are back from holidays :> You could see the changes happening already last night, insane blobs everywhere in EB!

So, Desolation, Seafarer’s Rest, Elona Reach players didnt have holidays or what?

No, it’s pointless – to wait something…

Hi there!
It’s really hard to decide - what prefer players of some server: PVE, sPVP or WWW.
So, let’s make a suffix, for example: "Blacktide (PVE)"

If players spent all their time in PVE or instanses etc. - so server will get (PVE) suffix
If in sPVP - so (sPVP) suffix
If in WWW - so (WWW) suffix.

and every week it will be renewed, based of last week players activity.

And that suffix will be really helpful for new players or while transfer - to find more like-minded players.

Thank you

BT now - really weak server. It’s fall to lowest tiers - is just a time question...
