Guild Wars 2

In sPvP is very viable until the next patch (inb4 grenade kit removed from the game).
In PvE is subar.
In Zerg vs Zerg it works fine, just faceroll like every other class.

Edit: Talking about the elixir gun it is useless, period.

digiowl.9620:

Same weapon, way different outcomes.

Yes, a rifle warrior is completely useless while the engineer is okay.

Kharr.5746:

Don’t knock it ’till you try it. Axe/shield + Rifle offers more options than traditional 100b builds.

FTFY

edit: d€rp, I didn’t even read the second part of your message :P

I like how we have to dedicate our entire build and play Bach to achieve the same thing other class can do with an single non-traited ability.

Rifle warrior in spvp, my sides...

It’s a good thing you’re having some fun playing against clueless players though.

Glasses can be hot.

Googles even more, just saying...

Before the patch we could choose between two builds (three if you count being useless as an aceptable playstyle).

Now we have one.

le versatility class

No it’s not, you either choose to run HGH conditions or be almost useless.

Teh versatility class™

Gideoknight.4736:

I usually rush the fray with Flame Blast, followed by some Flame Jets. Well into the battle I swap to Elixir Gun trying to immobilize as many as possible. Then Fumigate, a Super Elixir, Acid Bomb for the Retaliation, swap to Rifle, Jump Shot in again, swap to Flame Thrower in the air for a Flame Shield, back to Rifle, Blunderbuss as I land, Overcharged Shot. Repeat.

So you are like an ele, but vastly worse.

Ryu Kaisus.1293:

Great. Now i can’t even use my support build anymore. *clap clap clap* Oh, was super elixir buffed!? It’s still useless because it’s localized healing and you know that people move away from it not to get bursted down in. Screw this, i’m going back to guardian.

I know that feel bro, he’s lvl 50 already.

irakai.6891:

Um, not to diss you or anything but your opponents didn’t really have a clue. You have no stunbreaker. You would die in seconds against a decent thief, warrior or mesmer. I’m not sure you’d fare that well against anything with decent ranged abilities either, like staff mesmer/necro/ele or bow ranger.

You also pop Supply Crate every single fight, 1v1. Now, that’s not a bad thing. But its a 3 minute cooldown, and in tPvP I really hesitate to use it in anything that’s not a game changing team fight.

All in all, its another curbstomp video and while I applaud you for the effort, it does not show that turret builds are viable.

Or just roll a staff guardian and press 4.

Bonus: You are not completely useless after that.

A video about endlessly skilled thieves not being able to kill a guy with 0 stun breaks.

My sides status: achieving transcendence

The new effects are completely worthless.

Deal with it. Respec to HGH grenades / delete your engineer / enjoy being useless.

Atleast they would give me a reason to delete my main without remorse, if they remove the only viable build we have left I could use the extra character slot.

bromi.7809:

Wow, 100nade kiddies are frustrated.

So you enjoy having ONE viable build? Cool story gurl.

masterdesh.8943:

100 nades is the only serious build I’ve ever run and the longer I run it the worse Anet has made it. The question I have now is now what?
What is the best engi dps build out there for pve? Or just any particularly effective pve build would be appreciated.

HGH conditions, just like before patch.

Kontrolle.3514:

The Build i use since patch:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fEAQJAoYhMmmbwR5gjDAkHn4CLiCPUeMTO2A

i recommend this, you wont have to be afraid of gamebraking nerfs too.

Vekthor.8914:

… why is she naked?

Because video games.

I say YES.

No class should be able to burst people from 100 to 0 and Quickness (not Frenzy itself) makes that possible, it’s not fun, rewarding or skill dependant, just lame.

That being said, both warriors and thieves need more sustainability.

Or just switch to the guardian and use the skill 5 of your ult.

Resouled.5614:

Elixer Z, new utility.

- Chance to instakill your target.
- Chance to instakill yourself.
- Chance to get swiftness.

Am I doing it right?

My sides status: Nuclear test facility.

WE ARE DOOOOOOMED

Because video games.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineer

Definitely not.

Flamethrower is our best weapon for zerging (on PTV gear), kitten culling.

I see more and more engineers on Zerg vs Zerg / PvP each day.

So you like guardians?

I agree completely, the Engineer on spvp is perfectly fine atm.

100-nades
HGH conditions
Bunkers (bombs and stuff)

illgot.1056:

Engineer has the most options.

You have a Mortar as an elite you can drop for anyone to use, you have Grenades that can spec for over 1200m, you have a flame thrower which is short to medium, you have pistols and rifles which are medium to long range, and you have bombs you can drop behind you has you retreat.

Due to the diversity in range options, I would say the Engineer is superior in damage because you can chose which type of range you want at any time.

You cannot be serious.

GW’s bodyblock.
Remove downed state.
Remove AoE caps.

Dat VS damage control.

Ayestes.1273:

Stun breakers are not mandatory. At least in my opinion. Heck there are a lot of viable builds out there right now that that lack stun breakers as well. I think saying that stun breakers are mandatory is just pigeonholing yourself into such builds.

If you enjoy dying to every burst build they are not necessary indeed.

Yes, please.

SirTristan.2017:

There are bullets in engis pistols.

How many times tries did you need to make that screenshot?

My favourite nerd trying to look sexy at the Asuran capital:

- Like this?
- Perfect! Just stand still for a moment…

The downed mechanic itself is lame and broken, god mode finishers are just the icing.

GvG and Tombs >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Entire GW2 game.

Eles will be destroyed, cannot wait.

Steroid.8317:

French canadians who play on Vizuna server, they carry whole server on their arms and mock whole other part of Europe…

This.

earendil.1290:

Noone mentioned War Machine…

This game sooo needs GvG. But we all know it won’t happen.

Which is why we make it for ourselves. Not as convenient, sure, but it’s still fun.

That AoE damage spam has more in common with PvE than GvG.

ITT: Two clusterkittens of people spamming aoe damage.

How interesting… sigh, I miss Guild Wars.

You got outplayed, son.

Deal with it.

I never thought of guardian those runes + gear shield.

Interesting…

The mortar as awesome as it sounds is completely worthless until the give it A LOT more range or damage/utility, let’s hope they do it eventually, I’m kinda bored of only having one elite (Elixir X is a lazy joke, in both effectiveness and the concept itself).

It was and got nerfed, it is fine now.

Still waiting for Condition/Tho/Vit exotics…

Jazhara Knightmage.4389:

actually Spiuk, the 7770’s tend to be alot closer to the 6870/5850 then the 5770.

I thought the 7770 was a rebrand of the 6770 (which is rebrand of the 5770…), glad to see they are moving away from that lame practice.

GW2 runs perfectly fine on a potato GPU (I can almost max it on my old 5770, which btw is pretty similar to that 7770 you are talking about), unless you OC like crazy the CPU will be the bottleneck.

Until they fix their game that is…
