Sorry about all the messes, we tend to drink a LOT of beer in our mountainous homes and sometimes lose self control and enjoy breaking things beside your doors

Apology accepted. Just please re-fill the ice trays on the way out.

Not to mention flushing the toilet, im an engineer not a plumber !

IF any of you have a problem with any of the screenshots i post then just throw me a private message and if it’s reasonable ill take it down.

Ran into one the other day, all my gear has toughness on it and i have over 21k hp, didnt matter that much lol. Luckily i realized and popped Elixer S and then stacked conditions

/checks watch

Yup. People on the East Coast getting off work now. Thank you for keeping an eye on our property while we were away. We really appreciate it! If you’d like, we can leave a key under the mat next time so you don’t have to damage the doors on our keeps and towers.

/hugs

What sort of people on the east coast get off work at 2:30 on a Wednesday?

Many people actually, not every job is 9-5. I know people that do 6-3 and i myself usually do 10:30-9.

Sororita.3465:

pictures etc

Your clock on server time or your time. Im just curious who I was up against last night on our BL. The pictures look like our second attempt at bay.

Its my time so EST.

1. Poor form NSP, fighting at spawn, really? ( please take this at a joke, only i and the hulk get stronger the angrier we get)
2. Asura from [ENVY] on the steps, why’d you have to break up a norn dance off? Annoying lil buggers.
3. Golems love engineers.
4. Vista-pult in all its glory.
5. RoB i took this for you btw.

you dirty vulture henge! -.- go for green for once in your lives.

You mad…?

Rob.7624:

Sororita.3465:

you dirty vulture henge! -.- go for green for once in your lives.

Why,
Maybe they want 2nd place ^__^

so continuing the last 2 months then >.> always fighting for second.

you dirty vulture henge! -.- go for green for once in your lives.

dunnberry.2964:

GOM where the he’ll did you get these numbers from?

I presume with DH leaving, PvErs smelled some fresh blood and decided to actually come into WvW.

1. Woot another engy.
2. such a crazy defensive measure it may be revolutionary!
3. some fukittenunny hill in NSP BL.
4. walls down and IM ON FREAKING FIRE!
5. havent seen this in a long time.

Not to tell you how to play but it would help you alot to get a razor naga mouse. The mouse has 12 buttons on the side, 1-5 are your normal 1-5 abilities then keybind 6-10 to shift +1-5.

I know i would never be able to play an engineer without one. normal 1-5 abilities, 6-10 abilities and then 4 toolkit abilities.

I have to say, from your video im not seeing a huge SF presence.

1. Langor bridge battle, YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
2. Blood bath at daneleon, neither side wanted to give ground.
3. trebing QL, easier than attacking the door for sure ^.^

lchan.2169:

yes. i believe so. engi is just not built for pvp. Regardless of how you build the character its always going to be the weaker one. However in wvw, our role is truely support, looking around to give a warrior/guardian the extra edge to kill an enemy. The same with running dungeons. We stay mid range, move in and out.

Still, there is never one perfect build because it depends on individual gameplay. My build is extreme condition damage, toughness and vitality. From mid range i dump so much condition damage that it makes melee character’s life much easier. While the cond dmg is working, i have a choice to either provide further support like throwing throwing an elixir or minor healing to front forward fighters or move in with my wrench to put vulnerability and confusion and move back out.

sad that we have to heavily rely on other players in order to function as wellas others then, it seems our best spot in WvW would be in a zerg providing short timer buffs and good heals.

lchan.2169:

Actually..engineers are mid range fighters. Our skills (melee and short range/mid/ long range kits) and mid range weapons requires us to move in and out during combat.

So would you say that our way of fighting is designed to be that we rush in, unload as much as possible then run and hide till we can do it again? Because that just seems like a thief to me.

Disclaimer: This thread is purely my opinion on the engineer class, it is not fact. Also, i only play WvW so my opinions can be a lot different to those who play Spvp and PvE. This post is mainly about kits seeming turrets seem highly situational, and the survivability is laughable, and gadgets i rarely use due to long CD. Elixirs im fine with.

I’ve been playing Gw2 for a little over two months and the only character I’ve spent time on is an engineer which i leveled to 80. I’ve been lvl 80 for about 6 weeks and theres a lot of things i dont quite understand. ( /age turns up 371 hours in the past 55 days). I should also state that before playing GW2 i was a WoW player for 7 years, 9 max level characters, 260 days playtime on a paladin.

The engineer seems conflicted, it cant decide whether its a ranged class or melee class. Now i can understand that each class in the game needs a variety of abilities to choose from in order to build a melee or a ranged type build but even when you look at the abilities themselves things dont make sense.

Take our primary weapons, These can both be traited to increase the range to 1200 but at that range many of the skills are useless. Id say that 4 of the rifle abilities are sub-standard at range (#2 misses most of the time and only hits close to the target, #3 only does any real damage standing next to the target, #4 ill give you that but it knocks us down the same amount of time as the enemy, #5 rarely can could jump in from range and get someone with it, you really have to have them imobalized). Then with the pistol 3 are only good close range ( #2 the spread is horrible, #4 more damage the closer you are, #5 moves so slow they could walk out of its path). Now, saying that, arnt these suppose to be our main ranged weapons?

Looking at the kits, we only have one long ranged kit, which is of course the grenade kit. The other kits are purely short-mid ranged kits (bomb kit is melee only, tool kit is a melee/block/pull kit, FT is close-mid range but through using it, close range is the only way to really hit anything. I would add elixir kit to this list too, even though it does have ranged abilities in it, id say #2 travels too slow and can be avoided, #3 only seems to land on target in close-mid ranged and the hardest hitting ability, #4, requires you to be in melee to begin with).

Grenades as a ranged kit are fine, i dislike them due to them be ground targeted, which can be a giant pain in fast moving pvp combat, but i realize many people do like it and it should be kept the way it is. Now apart from that, there is no other kit to choose from. It seems that most of the time i should be close to the enemy to use alot of attacks.I did read on the wiki that engineers were slotted to wear heavy armor but were given medium armor instead, reading that this all seems to make sense. why we’re given so much melee oriented attack styles but yet we, to me, just seem too squishy.

Im disappointed with the lack of ranged options we have, to me it feels like we were cheated out of a kit or two. Why is it that Grenade kit is our only ranged kit? I feel we should have a sniper kit, which everyone and their uncle seems to be asking for, or a mini gun kit, i know my norn would love to be running around screaming " cry some more!"

It just seems to me that engineers are confused and not finished, dont get me wrong, i do like playing an engineer but i always have that nagging sensation at the back of my mind that something is wrong. Well these are my feelings on the matter, sorry for the wall o text.

Some SS from EB last night, was a downer to lose the towers one afetr another but luckily we got them back, was nice to roam with Scarecrow, Aubrrey and then later with Teambattleaxe and Von.

1. Loot bags, got to love the vendor grays!
2. Not much 3 can do against the 20
3. I tried, knocked a few off the ramp down the cliff but i couldnt do anything other than that lol. What..you think im a holy trinity class? ( warrior+guardian/thief/ele+mesmer).

seems we had a lil scrap just now NSP =D

1. we see you!
2. theres no need to run, were very friendly…
3. Dont think you can take briar too, setkira was there, youre going to need more men.
4. as i said, youll need more men!
5. nearly made it to the circle at lake>.>
6. finally got you, /tip o’ the hat. You are sure tough to down with the whole misting away. Props to you. Dont usually post single player kill shots but im sure this is the only one ever well see of you, ele from GT ( HOD).

kazi.6438:

SirV.7245

On behalf of NSP, I declare war in the JP. So no QQing.

I guess I have to kill people in JP now… Why can’t we all just be friends? Is it really that hard?

The T8 servers have been hoping that we’d murder HoD and send them down to T8, forcing SF up to T7. Honestly, we need to try harder. SF deserves to move up. Let’s give them the chance, k?

Can both GoM and HoD go down together then? id rather not face 2 servers with superior numbers. Could add a 4 BL on the bottom of eternal ( as well as adding another side to eternal) and add extra spawns on the BL.

That would be fun.

Otaur.9268:

2 words… Weapon swap.

>.> whats that?

(look at the class in my sig)

Make our downed 2 skill a grapple instead and id be happy. Would like to grapple over to a friendly player instead of bringing an enemy closer.

Everytier has a server that outnumbers the others but alot, just keep transferring to green teams if you dont want that to happen.

1. My nasty guild made me do PvE! Guild missions or something, all to waypoints i didnt have so i fought a dragon -.-
2. NSP trying to take garrison, idk why you built so many trebs right by our gate though.

Kazi, i tried to do some solo roaming in your BL last night, started off 1v1 then 1v2 then 1v5 lol.

seems like nsp has a strong morn and day force.

A bunch of SS from last night in SM.

dont worry, NSP is making sure we pay to defend it, been heavy fighting for about an hour.

was running this build a month back and decided to do this again with the rune/sigil choices suggested, glad i did, very nice.

atomicjellybean.5389:

hopefully when I log back on, we’ll still have SM

he..he..he, um, how do i break it to you..

1. Was nice of NSP to keep our catas up from about 20 minutes before
2. you guys really want to kill our trebs but not tonight =D
3. nice long fight at the bottom of hills.

Dear NSP, my thing is screen shots, now that you’re informed thats that.

You have a lot of roamers everywhere btw, lots of fun.

4. look out for me, ill be watching you =D

im glad we took green keep in EB so i could get my last vista, note: that JP is not tall norn friendly, especially with all the lag 50+ NSP cause.

probably could divide the number of mesmers i see by atleast 4 lol

only seen about 5 people from NSP that arnt mesmers or guardians….and ive fought you alot tonight

DoH- 8803
GoM-7749
NSP- 7503

i would act surprised that DH were rooting for DoH(intentional) but i wouldnt expect anything to change because you guys moved up a tier. =)

IM not being over critical of DH, im telling the truth -.- mooooooom ( you know who you are!)

well well well.

Silent Polaris.9301:

Sororita.3465:

hey HoD, whyd u make a treb to take back a camp >.>

Also, rocking a charzooka now!

We made a treb because y’all were camping our spawn. Also, you might want to check your character Sororita, it seemed like you were glitching into the floor a lot when we were fighting you

into the floor? hmmm. maybe the rifle knockback i was using ( which also knocks me back) was doing it.

As long as the npcs only go to the towers your team owns at reset and to the first tower in the opposing team BL, dont see any problem with that.

WHAT?!?! PAGE 3?!?! BULL KITTEN PUPPY BIRD KITTEN SAUSAGES!

Shame on you! I blame you DH -.-

Pictures.

1.GoM BL lakeside brawl.
2. Im not going in there…
3. ok i lied, i did and i died, made it to the line of ballistas though.
4. thats right, took 4 ballistas and 4 players to get me down, /strikes a pose.
5. well thats just not fair at all.

The only reason i use gadgets is because their toolbelt abilities are great to use with static discharge…the main abilities just take too long to come off CD.

Actium.8765:

Yet, everything else but your keep is green. dang. so much fail.

Well seeming GoM is a NA primetime server and not usually active during off-peak ours, if our BL wasn’t green id be supprised. I mean, id really feel sorry if you couldnt take it with over whelming force against a door.

to the pictures!

1.6 man hod garrison ^.^
2.Hod you guys left us so much supply we decided to build all manner of siege, including the deadly counter ram!
3.Our golems liked to see their domain, it really is a nice view.
4. just after this turned into a stand off, dh in the camp, use on the bridge and hod outside, both you guys teleported away, paragues’ shield isnt that scary =/

hey HoD, whyd u make a treb to take back a camp >.>

Also, rocking a charzooka now!

hyjaxxx.1584:

Dark Haven has been working super hard to move up a tier!

PvDoor isnt working hard >.>

These pics are when you work hard in NA primetime…and ultimately fail =D

Bllade.1029:

Wait a second… GoM isn’t Green! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!

its called day capping, itll be red soon enough.

1. 1 cata and i take out 3 catas, 1 arrow cart, 2 ballistas and 1 treb.
2. what ya doing with that, yes you did manage to kill me before we could kill it, 3% hp was it?

Nicolatte.5360:

Sororita.3465:

boat catas, what ya gonna do eh?

That is so awesome! lol I’ve hopped on that boat a few times and thought, “What an amusing place to put a catapult” and it would be the one piece of siege I lacked (I run out of cats quick!). I’m so glad someone else did it. Did you get some fishing in? rofl

Indeed, caught some mesmers.

boat catas, what ya gonna do eh?

Hey DH, had soem fun at longview didnt we =D

yes i post alot, this thread needs to be lively! and have many pictures!

it seems i only need to read the first 7 days of actium’s story, the rest is going to be copy and past. day 1,7,14,21,28 etc are all the same story it seems.

7 defenders versus about 40 sigh..

pita spoon.5708:

yer right.. i dont know what im doin..lol

Its simple, just follow our commander and savior Jael Fae.
