…starting to think you have targetting issues cause you inexperienced.

Nah I actually didn’t have any problems until I switched to left click targetting and dead enemies with negative health suddenly becoming clickable. If you ever tried to target stuff during a balthazar escort while everyone and everything around you is invisible, and your frame rate is <20, you’ll know what I mean.

ok sorry just trying to help where possible , hopefully you guys get the fix you require. best of luck

Have you tried unchecking the right click to attack/interact in options?

Even when this option is disabled, I still end up clicking allies and dead enemies (why are they still targetable? they’re dead!). I hate relying on tab targetting/auto target cuz it never picks up the target that I want. What sucks is the sticky target option is sorta there, but you have to be in a group to utilize it.

That right click option was newly implemented and i suffered from it to when i returned from a hiatus and thought i was having mouse issues for the first time ever buuuuut i ticked it off and i was kay…starting to think you have targetting issues cause you inexperienced.

man get to leveling and then worry about all that stuff…step 1 is PVE

I been noticed the tool tip issue lol , my rifle be stating i have 593 co ex when im in Queensdale but i hit about 15% if that or so

I only seen 2 , and that 2 turned into 3..which eventually turned to 5..sheesh

There’s ‘random’ in that it’s hard to guess what they’re going to do (or are capable of doing), and then there’s ‘randomly-generated numbers,’ where even the person using the skill doesn’t really know what it’s going to do.

Pretty much the only ‘random’ thing we really have, as far as I can tell, are the elixirs that use RNG, anyway, and a pack of kittenes for animators, who thought it would be a good idea to implement a self-stun on a stunbreaker.

Both.

Well Engineers in general make you queasy lol , we are the embodiment of Random!

How exactly do you auto attack with a torch?

I would recommend you running a build i crafted BUT its expensive with the runes and food being the pinnacle of it. However , i can’t really you as much as i’d like because you didnt actually finish the spec you linked

Rocket Boots no longer break stuns

sonja.4810:

Its hard to come up with abilities that still feel like an engineer. Instead of a weird warrior.

Honestly any thing I can up with is a reinvented copy of the Tool Kit, and that is probably why we don’t have the option to wield a hammer.

Or you just not coming up with any nifty ideas
Watch what Anet does with the hammer , i sure hope it CCs us and gives buffs in the process lmao..anything that functions normally ill be greatly disappointed ..what are we without our common quirks

Our biggest issue at the moment is stability on demand…if the hammer would allow us to stand tall in the toughest moments , it’d be spectacular.

Guys please enough with the condition , remember we need more viable direct damage specs…

Just because a weapon causes conditions does not mean it isn’t a direct damage weapon. Crowbar on toolkit is a prime example. 5k damage crits and 5 stacks of confusion.

Well thank you also Mr.Obvious…aaaannnd the broken record effect starts.

Yeah last thing you want to do is get within 600 range of anything for extended periods , especially seeing as elixirs all have cast times on them lol , you pretty much making your own grave attempting to throw elixirs on opponents. Trait needs a serious rework…

Grenades ? Hybrid
Bombs? Conditions
Static Discharge? Trait
Flamethrower? Utility kit.

Well ty you Captain Obvious but that’s not the point i’m making. What we need is a pure power dedicated melee weapon , not something with conditions tied into it with a minimum/major trade off of damage since it has side effects.

Guys please enough with the condition , remember we need more viable direct damage specs…

Eww you looking for all out conditions lol.

Wow just wow , Trav exposed and please man stop making videos because just like every post you write you clearly contradict yourself. I have to say though that those are some impressive hours on thief , but whats seen in your videos you move as if you not new to the game but played for about a week in pvp. Not terrible but clearly have trouble with camera control and movement in general. Is it safe to say you idled about 90% of those hours and the remainder split between PVE and PVP? I fought a pretty good thief today with probably this same build , i killed him 10/10x and guess what? On my “useless” Engineer lol After he requested and i added him he called me every name in the book , he was infuriated BUT i took the higher road and told him 10 out of 10 to get that signet of shadows because his movement was terrible. Eh you swim or you sink..without movement you tend to SINK!!!

P.S Stop making bold statements , try to redeem yourself somehow .

You’d be surprised lol..

Judging from the battle with the ranger that allowed him to 2v1 with ease..yeah i definitely don’t think its “viable”

-If you’re going worried about being CCed always take Protection Injection
-
If you’re taking a few blows from enemies and not being cced much take Protective Shield.

This discussion of S/D comes up countless times , you’d think most engies know how to run a optimum S/D build. Guys please for the life of you and everyone other Engineer please stop running Elix B during your pseudo max dps build….it severely cripples your dps lol.

(MODULAR)

You guys are cancelling your skills or out of range …you’re rewarded with a 3 secs delay before you can try to cast it again

“RNG DIDN’T GO MY WAY, “x” HAS BEEN NERFED@!! AN CONFIRM IT ALREADY!@!"

Your sample size is far too small to even give any conclusive or even vague evidence, try multiplying it by … let’s just say 100×.

I Approve this Message.

10 months in not many are aware of Engineer’s capabilities , moreso in the PVE World than PVP , what i did to remedy this is to eat all the packages myself . So when they are wounded and going down im at full hp , looking down on them and ridiculing their ignorance. Just keep yourself sustained man…my only advice , one thing though thats always commendable is when you drop the packets and teammates rush for them (shows they know a thing a two about ye ole Engie) or another Engineer drops some and you run to them and he writes ":D

Well this has to be the first , im wondering have anyone made a QQ thread about rangers having pets…now thats blasphemy

Obscure One.4357:

Engineers snatched the rifle out of the Warriors hands, chopped down the barrel, bored it out to a 12 gauge, and proceeded to see what manner of random household appliances they could stuff in it and shoot at people. Solid Slugs that punch through targets? Sure (#1)! Nets that deploy in flight? Totally (#2)! A handful of glass and scrap metal? Sounds delightfully painful (#3)! Fifty times the normal amount of gun powder? That’ll chap some booties (#4)! How about a highly accurate solid rocket booster with a large ejection of propellant capable of launching ya across a ravine!? …Uhh…do you have a permit for that (#5)?

The point is if you think of the Engineers rifle as a pump action shot gun with an assorted array of shells, you may very well change your tune about it. It’s build to get in your enemy’s face…and then remove it…through their rectum.

hahahahahahaah wow.

Virtuslumen.2541:

I understand there are people who love the engi’s current “rifle”, but there are those of us who expected it to handle like an actual rifle. I expected us to have more range than a warrior since the rifle is one of our primary weapons.

I know this has probably been said before, but I would really enjoy one of these options:

1. Make the current rifle a “Shotgun” kit (that has current rifle abilities) and give the rifle new abilities

2. Make a “Sniper Rifle” kit that focuses on long range attacks, but maybe they have a charge-up time.

3. Make various traits that modify the current rifle into something with more range and damage.

Life is full of disappointment , why would it change now? The rifle really doesn’t require more dmg at all , the up close abilities it already possess can smite the tankiest of foes. Only thing we need now is a Mace as a main weapon , and then the Hammer later implemented.

There is no “Elite turret” sheesh after 10 months you’d think you guys would know something about Engineers by now but yet you continue to look dumb founded when plowed by one , do your research peeps and actually play the game for once. A thief eating rockets to the face will never win , despite popular belief turrets pack a punch.

Or a post about people boasting about killing level 80s on uplevels to shut up.

Cause he spent majority of the duel running in circles , ignoring the turrets…

See thats where your problem lie , its neither man. It has the long range of the rifle , and the short range burst of a shotgun. You can’t place it in just one of those categories , think of it as a state of the art Shotgun Rifle , thats going through rigorous testing . We haven’t perfected it yet , but it definitely can dish out some hurt…

Problem with high healing /tankiness Guardian is they are an abomination to kill but what exactly do they dish out beside the mediocre retal dmg and a few pokes from their wep coupled with barely 300 burning dmg from passive there literally is no pressure. What happens when you have alot of pressure in a duel? I’ll leave you to ponder that one.

Oh our rifle is for complete control . Sorry its not to your liking but at least you have the warrior to fall back on , Who likes to be immobolized and knockdowned continuous? I know i don’t. You guys gotta start analyzing better than just drawing conclusions from what you see up front.

Yeah thats been happening since like uhm forever.

Surprise shot has been buffed some more..

Finlay.7253:

Could anybody link a skilldesceiption for the sd builds you are talking about? I just came back to the game and this sounds pretty funny, hence i am wondering what you are talking about
Thanks in anticipation!

Forge that bad boy. You’re going to get it. and some more..

Seras.5702:

Yup, asura here. Kneecapping all times.

I too am shocked at some of the censored words. I see “that-it’s” with a kitten in the middle due to i’m guessing a word that refers to a woman’s upper torso area…but there’s a space in between T & I. Also, G-to-the-IMPED is censored, but I can’t for the life of me figure out why.

I tried to read what you wrote here but it seems you speaking in code?

Sound like to me you having some serious issues with balancing out your builds , you always want to add some form of razzle dazzle in any build you going . Whats the purpose of being a lump on a log if you can’t defend yourself at all…tried that when i was new to this game on warrior and i literally didnt know how to melee but i sat on a point forever and ran in circles swinging wildy..found that i was merely a sitting target and as time progressed i dropped the healing power and rotated in some more dmg. I became less regenerative but in term dished out the hurt to some degree and sent attackers running or even downed a few.

c) that day a thief kills me 1vs1 I will deinstall this game because I ’ve to accept I suck. Engineers can not lose against thiefs – to much counters – offensive and defensive.

oh ok.

A good engie will never kill a decent thief that knows how to counter the engie.
- supply crate -> slow cast animation -> dodge out of the way and don`t fight there; I can wait while invi.
- elixir engie? -> heal that can be interrupted
- pistol/pistol? -> immobilize blob is slow moving and can be dodged
-> flame jet thing -> 80% of times it won`t burn me, since I`m always behind or flanking the engie.
-> poison volley? -> same as the flame atk
- FT engie? -> free kill
- bomb engie? -> watch for the big bomb
-> easiest one to flank
- elixir gun? -> easy to flank, low damage since he uses DoTs
- ST build? -> glass, won`t have to bother with anything else since he will drop from the first burst
- P/S ? -> could take a while to kill if he uses bombs too, but once his defensive CDs are spent, easy to wait for the best moment.

Just a few conclusions. As for the engie actually Killing the thief, that`s even shorter:
– condi engie build? -> stealth + heal + cleanse whenever I want
– the win does not seam to be easy -> stealth wait for the proper moment
– engage? -> yes -> nuke fast, then stealth and watch him panic and run in circles
All a good thief needs is Patience, and the knowledge of the Engie prof.
In my opinion.
– engage? -> yes but later -> fake nuke -> fake run -> stealth -> watch him spend his cooldowns ->decide how next to engage
– emgage? -> no. stealth, pick another target.
– engie got me low! I will die!? -> steath if I can, then the rest is easy.

In my opinion you are either the greatest thief or you spend most of your time daydreaming. However , i have to say it does look good on paper so i tilt my hat to you latty.

Yeah we can argue this till we all blue in the face but it simply boils down to Engineers have every tool in the book to deal with all situations. How you bend that statement is up to you , but if you use what you have at hand in the correct situation then even the mightiest of players will fall before you.

Pessimists galore , everywhere i tell you..EVERYWHERE.

Hey im just coming here to spit some hate , stay from the Engineer profession your kind isnt welcome here! , and stay away from my turrets ya here?!

Practice Practice Practice , and for the life of you please dont turn of Auto Ground Targetting or w/e its called in options..

I think the magnet is more than fine lol , u guys do realise u dont need LOS to magnet right? lmao

q.q too good to be true…we now have AOE looting , 1 day we’ll get more options to mass open / click

Lmao Engineers by far have some of the greatest condition application in the game , there isnt enough condition cleanses in the game to clean it all..and the fact we wear medium armor with control mechanics mixed with boon spamming and dmg / condition mitigations you have one heck of an class to deal with in the right hands. The same people that wail that we are underpowered are usually FOTM bandwagoners who doesnt have apt knowledge in anything other than copy paste and 1 , or somone who found out they are simply inferior in all aspects of gameplay and decided to trash the class. You decide which one you are..

Is there anyway to turn off the confirmation window when salvaging a mass amount of green + items…sheesh
