Guild Wars 2

Hmm maybe that good feeling was merely gas because it failed , ended up with like 90 exotics probably totaling over 150-170g and i decided against the stones this time cause i really desired Dusk and still NOTHING…pfft down to 400g buuuuuut once you hit a certain number its kind of hard to go back to a smaller one…

Sounds sketchy at most (overcharged really?) however , i cant get my mind off getting that hammer as our next weapon…this one i just can’t wait on anymore lol

I hate being told gl but i got a good feeling on this one , ty!

Im crafting 1200 GS more lets see how i fair this time..luckily thats equivalent to the measly 360g i got from Zap!…but calling 360g measly make me sound a bit greedy :|

Fenrir.5493:

Whats your build, its glad to see another different build than the common ones.

Its what happen when you theorycraft your own instead of cookie cutting.

My vote on Torment on BoN , the perma cripple you can keep up or the escape potential of this baby especially coupled with c.duration is aaaammmazing

There is nothing mediocre about the Uti Goggles , either you know about how stronk blind is currently or you don’t pvp at all.

lol maybe , but yeah you dont get to pick which exotic type you get , its all random from even the underwater list q.q

You can keep a party up with 25 stacks of might for 60 secs at a time if you know what you are doing…12 stacks of stealth and so forth. This is stuff you learn within your first month of the game , combo fields and finishers

lol and he asks what gives…inexperience thats what.

The fact that it does high damage explodes in aoe and high movement justifies the fact it doesnt home-in

Whats with the double take at views no one cares follow up posts?…

TheOneNOnlyGeneralBama.9586:

Shield Bash 2 sec stun
Skull Crack 4 sec stun
Pommel Bash 2 sec daze

All of the above WITH sigil of paralyzation.

Sigil of Para does not affect daze.

Remove 1 sec on the Pommel and thats still essentially 7 secs of stun on an insanely low cooldown.

Shield Bash 2 sec stun
Skull Crack 4 sec stun
Pommel Bash 2 sec daze

All of the above WITH sigil of paralyzation.

Not bad of an video but you should combo the tools at your disposal better , like for instance when you constantly were being targetted you could of easily dropped concussion bombs throughout them whilst your teammates peeled or simply smoke bombed into stealth , a simple Elix S could of granted you peel also. Also , you seem to never know when to properly dodge , you ate every type of attack under the sun while still maintaining a full end bar repeatedly , the dodges came randomly…oh wasn’t you the same guy who posted the SD build coupled with Acidic Elixirs?

Funny thing is i begin to form conspiracies that Dusk / Dawn is completely bugged…when i hit that 150 mark i was convinced something is seriously wrong with those precursors lol

Whats the purpose of this thread? …

Oh i main an engineer , i only used my warrior cause he is 400 in WS ; i crafted him up to 80 just like all my other alts..since i cant bear playing anything other than my mad scientist lol

Also i took the advice of somone who gave another poster advice of putting 20% profit aside so i did , placed 60g in the bank…so i guess my luck isnt terrible after all.

I was one of those people who have been in the game for the longest of time (2500 hrs) and the precursor always eluded me , i actually have a huge problem with gambling in this game so i always ended up losing bundles of gold. I tried COF and did it for about 2 weeks straight and felt like i wasn’t myself anymore so i quit that abruptly , decided why even go for a legendary at this point..so i told my friend if i don’t get one by 2500 hr mark i’m quitting . Sooooo 4 days ago i decided since i never spend the little 80g i have i might aswell try my chance at the forge…put in buy orders for 75-80 rare hammers for 17-20s ea..within 24 hrs they were all filled…time to flush some gold down the toilet!

Got down to my last few and bang i had to take a triple take , there it was the Colossus!. Man was i jolly , but the gambler in me wasn’t happy…sooo 4 days later (today) i decided i’ll take the 450g from the Colossus and try to hit it big with Dusk. I tried to place in buy orders for 1200 greatswords but they briefly got outbidded repeatedly , so decided i’ll just craft them and ended up crafting 1300 total Valkyrie Greatswords. Threw all of them in sets of 100 , and by the time i hit the 500 (avged 2-3 measly exotics per 100) mark i begin to feel discouraged , 300 i hit sadness , and finally 150 i felt stupid which upset me.

After all of this failed rares i had 65 exotics left probably totaling 130-140g , decided why not i failed this far might aswell go hard or go home…Took the 65 exotics and decided i best use those stupid forge stones ANET gave me. Got down to the last 6 exotics and anger set in , went on and threw those last in and sweet mother jesus! Back to back precursors lol…

P.S HE still isnt happy...

Don’t think theres a more controversial skill in the entire game lol…

Your word is jurisdiction!

Hmm this isn’t WoW sorry. What flies there is usually a “No Fly zone here”.

Uhm , i don’t know what to say..Elementalist with bomb is new to me…how long have you played this game OP?

Dude focus on getting to 80 before you pursue such armor set.

Raven.9603:

All that footage of last matchup and you left out the parts where Torrid beat you?

What’s the purpose of recording loses?…

I’ve played thief in wvw for about 12 hrs total now , and i can tell you the only reason i ever die is when i miss those CnDs , whoever said blind is your worst enemy they sure as kitten were correct lol…2 of those cnd misses and im just ele with no boons / attunements…maybe off subject but NOW i understand the qq behind Last Refuge..omgwtfbbq

You guys must haven’t faced any true condition spec LB warriors with MH mace , the condtion spam is insane. They shouldnt nerf anything till engineers get their 5 stacks of torment skill on a 12 sec CD

I go up against champion mesmers who are highly ranked all the time , and there is nothing more i hate than getting dazed when i finally push the pressure on the real one.

Thats because the inexperienced opens with it , thats like a warrior opening with Evis or the old Fzy-BRHB combo lol…if you are aware of how many dodges they have left or when they healing etc that Magnet is going to be gamebreaking repeatedly. Ever got Concussion shot by a skilled ranger just as you need that heal? GG everytime lol

Why didnt you place the build in an editor , TLDR all over the thread. Using the toolkit as a main source of damage is very impractical.

Maybe you have the refurbished version of our Magnet lol the one that actually has no cast time , no animation doesnt require LOS and get this actually doesnt glitch. Release the blueprints to it PlOx

Yeah i seen it lol , don’t tend to go to Spvp forums cause its nerf central there…wait..

Yeah are exactly right , its not even really a toss up since post patch..more like a 30/70 chance of success lol . I’ve seen victims literally stall in place and warp back to spot consecutive times ….definitely not a reliable skill which is sad seeing as soooo much is already not functioning properly.

Super Riceman.8702:

While I do think that the engineer has been improved over these last few patches, there are still many meh/bad skills & traits. Here are some suggestions to change that.

Downed Skill 2 (Grappling Line): Change to Smoke Bomb

Prevents stomps and combos w/ 3rd skill

Utility Goggles: Reveals stealthed enemies and traps when they enter/are in 1200 range of you for 10 sec

There are very niche cases where you would take this over other stun breakers. This would widen its uses and give it something unique over the others

Blunderbuss: Remove cast time

Slow cast + Short range is a bad combination

Overcharged Shot: Change knocked backwards to evade backwards

Self-CC is a dumb idea

Personal Battering Ram: Transfers 2 conditions to enemy and gives 3 sec of stability +1 sec for each transferred condition

Solves lack of gadget condi removal, lack of guaranteed stability for the class outside of Elixir X

Throw Mine: Reduce cooldown to 15 sec, change remove boon to steal boon

Elixir R: Remove cast time

The cast time seems like an unnecessary nerf after they already removed the stun break

Elixir C: Also grants stealth for 4 sec

Not a bad skill but more stealth would help more bursty builds and help it be considered w/ out automated response

Mortar: Change to a kit, remove minimum range, allow it to crit, unreflectable and doesn’t give stability

Solves position issues, survivability, benefits from better traits, can crit
2 turret elites are redundant as supply crate already includes turrets

Empowering Adrenaline: Gain 2 sec of quickness when you use a gadget

Since all the gadgets seem to have an offensive aspect, gadget traits should support that style.

Kit Refinement: Remove global cooldown, each has an ICD of 10 sec

Rifled Barrel Turrets: Move to Master Tier

Even when turrets come up in survivability I don’t think this trait does enough for 30pt

Performance Enhancement: Each stack of might also grants 35 healing power

You will only get a significant bonus in power if you go for a lot of heal pow, even then it is Diamond Skin bad

Accelerant Packed Turrets: Move to Adept Tier

There are few traits for turrets in the Adept Tier so going 20pts for this seems wasteful

Modified Ammunition: Also grants a 5% crit chance per condition

Napalm Specialist: Increase bonus duration to 50%, Attacks that cause burning are unblockable

They moved a master trait to grandmaster status with out changing it to be worth it

Adrenal Implant: No negative effect when you gain quickness

Armor Mods: Increases toughness by 65 and precision by 55 for every 5% health missing

Potent Elixirs: Combine w/ fast-acting in the adept tier

New Traits
Inventions: Grandmaster Tier:
Jaeger: Turrets can move and dodge. They guard in the 1200 range area they are deployed in. Cannot be picked up, replaced with follow command and guard area command.

Alchemy: Master Tier:
Mutagen Infusion: Gain 4% boon duration for every condition on you

Turret Changes
Flame Turret
-Make Health/Toughness equal to that of Drake Pets
Tough enough to survive for the range it fights at

Thumper Turret
-Health/Toughness equal to that of Ursine Pets
Very tough, justifies long cooldown

Healing/Rifle/Rocket Turret
-Health/Toughness equal to that of Cat Pets
Harder to kill but not too hard considering their range/use

Also fix all of the turret bugs (inaccurate rate of fire, delayed overcharge on flame turret, targeting boxes, etc.)
Fix the bug that causes weapons to be invisible when casting throw mine

Aaaaannnnd i’d kill for anything on your list because they seem very well thought out , and you don’t just ask for over the top crap like 20 secs of stealth on 3 sec CD lol

Edit : Spoke too soon but those goggles make the blinds from thieves completely useless…u can stand right on top of smoke fields and tear a hole in their hide…

Terrahero.9358:

And there we go, i was worried we werent going to get nerfed… i mean, “fixed” this patch.

Love how they had time to, ahem “fix” Magnet being inconsistent, but didnt have enough time to fix any of the other kitten thats around.
I guess they were busy buffing every other profession, except Elementalist, that they only had enough time left for a minor nerf.

Yay us, right?

Wow you made a great point , they analyze whats not broken and continue to “fix” whats not broken lol…

Well my opinion is they are balanced …they have to make up for the lack of teleports with evasion and they ARE more susceptible to CC since they lack stealth / blinds. The daze can be pretty game changing in the right hands , and their dmg is strong but not over the top.

Verdict: Balanced

And the major things like this continue to elude the patch notes…gg Anet..gooood game…

No try to magnet them without looking at them

Is it me or we no longer can channel /pull without looking at our target….when using Magnet

Trait need to be scrapped nuff said.

Of course not , only direct damage..

Cause you didnt actually throw them within proximity of your target.

Big Tower.5423:

Their mechanic is mostly the toolbelt, kits is just one type of utlity, if engineers can drop using gadgets the can do the same with kits

Lol are we talking about the same class? because i most definitely dont rely on my toolbelt lol…its all about 1+ kits

I noticed it too , personally think they should be 250 badges 40 laurels

Go to dueling rooms and practice , allow a mentor to analyze your gameplay and flourish.

If you guys were able to apply custom skins to your pets , how would us “outsiders” know what to expect? Its like an ele without attunement icon , gl countering them.

jonwar.4186:

Yea, this thread is out of control and needs to be locked and I’m a hypocrite for offering my two cents.

Viking, by responding you’re only antagonizing him to keep this nonsense going.

Travlane, why any of this matters to you this much is psychotic and outright scary, seriously, get away from your computer, go outside and reconsider your priorities. The world that matters is right outside your front door.

Finally someone talks some sense into these guys , such a thread not locked after this long is baffling , i guess the mods are on vacay.

Oooooooooo im telllling your banner has cuss words in it!

lordkrall.7241:

The main issue here is that it is more or less impossible to actually prove that it is a bot.
There are after all people that spend most of their days sitting around watching the TP, and wouldn’t you also look like a bot if you updated your price as soon as the “bot” updated their price?

Interesting question..
