Guild Wars 2

ARE FINALLY WORKING AGAIN!!! ^(*_*)^

Greez!

Greetings!

Use staff and replace the aa with MoP, then you hit like a truck. In solo / open world go for duelling and not illusions, so your MoP will be an awesome skill!

In a zerg, there are so many conditions that iWarlock will make you top dps a Mesmer can do. No other Mesmer will outdamage 3 iWL.

You can even use the staff for solos, altough I recommend sword shield / sword offhand OR gs for trash. The staff is awesome for harder fights, for champions you better won’t melee. You can even solo the harder champions alone this way.

Greez!

Just wait with stuff like this until you actually know how hard the nerf’s gonna be.

Well we can just wait and see I just hope it won’t be too hard :/ Don’t touch rocket charge or rise cd’s of skill to infinity :< But yea – let’s seeeee :|

On the other hand we can also hope for buffs for gyros

That’s just an animated trailer. I mean have you taken a look at the gyros? In the trailer they moved perfectly with the engi – so it must be an animation :P …

Actually GS is power and staff is the hybrid. The phantasm of the staff hits like a truck but is power damage based, so is chaos storm. But the aa and the aa of staff clones are mainly condi dmg.

Even if you love GS and staff so much, I really recommend to use a sword / shield for supporting your allies and deal decent damage. Ranged weapons in guild wars are always weaker but safer ofc.

I actually smiled for that one – thx Yashuoa

Also your post mirifrost is compact and great. Adresses pretty much the issues of gyros right now.

Altough I would add the fact that blasty doesn’t inherit damage from the scrapper and deals nearly no damage at all. Sadly it’s simply too weak to sacrifice a whole utility slot for one knockback.
Same goes for shreddy: Despite the fact that whirls are a huge mess, even if your burning finishers hit, it has it’s own stats leaving it useless…

Please stay calm and don’t start to insult me now … calling me a jerk is reall not the goal you should be aiming for. :/

Everyone can doublechek their informations they’re about to spread. It’s not about IF somone is right or wrong, it’s ok if someone says “I believe it is like this” or “Afaik it worked like this when I tested it X weeks ago” and may be wrong in the end anyway. Everythign is better than just saying “It’s like this period”. I’m allergic of that. Unless they can prove their statement with information ofc. That’s the point I was making, by doing the exact same thing to show how it sounds. But unfortunately I hit somone else than my “target”. :/

insanemaniac.2456:

zerk.
but I hate sd. it kittens with your skill queue.

No longer since HoT

For PvE go zerker ofc

Dawdler.8521:

Medic gyro already have a condi cleanse (damage based condis like bleeding, burning, etc).

So every skill that heals has? o.ô …

Dawdler.8521:

Unlike the turret, it also have daze and considerable AoE damage when popped. I really dont see how its bad. I run my scrapper with all gyros (except shredder) all the time, lol.

This. The medic gyro is NOT supposed to be THE SAME as the HT just in another animation. It serves a different purpose. It’s full heal + protection and has potential quickness and daze. It’s perfect the way it is (at least once it gets fixed since it does nothing right now … Since wintersday patch … hurray …).

What I really would like to see is improvement for Purgy. He needs a stunbreak and his toolbelt needs to do more than just be a poison field. Boonstrip, condi cleanse itself, being tagged to the engi like Medy toolbelt, dealing direct damage, becoming bigger, etc, all such stuff would be great for it! Ofc not all at once, those are just examples. But it requires some love. And Purgy itself NEEDS TO BE AOE! Currently purgy is a weaker version of the elixier gun :/

Bulwarky is fine (except for that armor issue), Sneaky is also fine (except for pathfinding).

Blasty on the other hand needs to inherit the stats of the scrapper (power, crit chance and damage) to be a solid option. CC alone is not enough, especially not on scrapper… “Exclusive for phantasms” they said about inheriting stats of the owner. Yet is Blasty only a fancy projectile animation rather than an actual gyro / pet. Just let it inherit our stats already …

About Shreddy I do not wanna start talking >_>

Wahoo friends!

Just wanted to share some informations about SD (Static Discharge, a trait in Tools)
SD used to be bugged in two ways:

First; it caused skilllag or rather interrupted your skill chain. If you used a toolbelt skill and another skill right after it, this one got canceled due the SD projectile.
This bug has been fixed since HoT

Second; (apparently unintended) toolbelt skills with a cast time used to shot a special projectile, wich dealt like 50% more damage. To make this even weirder, if you are using a skill right before and after a toolbelt skill with cast time, you shot the regular projectile. Yet during that time, the instant skills suddenly became 50% stronger.
The stronger static discharges had an legendary animation if you’ve had equipped the predator or the quip.
Since HoT, not only the animation has been removed, also the 50% stronger static discharges are completly gone

I noticed that when I helped someone to create an open world scrapper build for mainly using a rifle. If you think I did something wrong, let me know! Wahoo!

Greez!

Na, it’s pretentious to spread wrong information due of the lack of research. When I’m not sure about something, I sure say so. But when there’s a simple statement as “It is like this, period”, this drives me sorta mad :<

Greez!

Spotter is not granted. 72% is the way to go.

You know the problem about that, don’t you?

Main goal is approximately 72% to get 100%.

Charming Rogue.8071:

Kusa.6438:

I can literally stack and maintain 45 seconds to 1 min quickness on my party.

The cap is 51/52 seconds.

Wrong, the cap is 9 stacks.

I agree that you can survive with just a +5 toughness infusion, but this also depends on your druid.

But I would NEVER swap out WoR for WoP just for your own QoL. You want as much alacrity as you can get. If you are unable to tank without WoP, better use toughness instead of WoP so you can keep WoR in your skillbar.

WoE vs SoE is really a taff call. I personally use WoE for the alacrity and aoe heal, SoE makes it much easier to tank tough, I totally agree with you on that one.

I’m honestly not sure if this is a trollpost or not ._.’’

Kaiyanwan.8521:

The Lazy Chrono Kai Build

Thx Yea it looks much like what you said; rather an issue of playstyle. I agree with that build you’re better off with GS, but why the defender if I may ask? Even with just 2 illusions instead of 3 to shatter, Calamity would deal more damage for sure, don’t ya think? Since you shatter him anyway I don’t thiink it’s for the tankyness, or is it?

The only sentence I do not agree with you is this one:

Kaiyanwan.8521:

The GS is the best open world weapon period. This was true for the vanilla mesmer and is even more true for the chronomancer.

In my playstlye a GS wouldn’t fit. But I see how it does in your build and playstyle. Just don’t use that “It is like this period” statement. That’s poison for a good discussion

greez!

miriforst.1290:

Healgyro: Inactive, the gyro does nothing.

Purge gyro: Inactive, the gyro does nothing.

Agreed, but once fixed Healgyro is the superior healing skill in raids and openworld for scrapper. Purgy on the other hand needs to be aoe aswell.

miriforst.1290:

Bulwark gyro: takes 2-3 times the damage it should take (depending on your toughness). Does not work like similar damage transfers like “rise!” and phantasmal defender for a disadvantage.

Oh my, I didn’t even notice this! How does it work exactly?

miriforst.1290:

Blast gyro: If we turn a blind eye to the wonky tagging system and pathing we are still left with a gyro that is sluggish to react, slow and that frequently detonates on targets you did not even tag (hit a ranger a 600 range away, the gyro instead explode his pet standing next to you slowclap). And the detonation area is often walked out of even if it reaches its target, so can we increase the area a bit. It does have a short cooldown but with all the requisites for it to hit you would think this would hit like a fatman.

Blast gyro only has 2 issues:
1. It sometimes randomly changes it’s target. I don’t know why, maybe because I throw the tag on something I have no longer targetet later?
2. It has it’s own stats. The gyro is for cc AND DAMAGE. To be working properly, it MUST inherit the stats of the owner like for example phantasms do. I know this is supposed to be “Mesmer exclusive” but the blast gyro is not a real gyro, rather a fancy projectile animation. It must have MY power and MY crit chance / damage. This is the biggest or almost the only issue with this gyro.
About your missing / sluggish reaction point – you know you can detonate it yourself for the full effect? It doesn’t explode like other gyros, it uses it’s attack move when you detonate it yourself. It’s instant so it’s your own skillcap to use it properly. Don’t trust it to find it’s target on it’s own, you have to command it.

miriforst.1290:

Shredder gyro: I wish this was a finisher animation instead. It would be more useful. The extra rage gathered from your opponents would help you more than what this skill would. I know gyros are not meant to be our best skill type and im okay with that. But this is taking it a bit (a lot) too far. Its hilarious that it even got a cast time. The sad thing is that this skill preforms exactly as well as could be expected. It whirls.

You wish this was a finisher animation instead? Wat? ö.ö
I made a good thread of my toughts about this one, since I totally agree with you:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/engineer/Shredder-Gyro-THUMPER-GYRO/first#post5906096

miriforst.1290:

function gyro: Useless for some parts of the game, unreliable for the rest. Unless you spend yet another trait on this thing its more or less a taunt kill. And even if you do, its hardly impressive for a specialization mechanic in my opinion although the extra stability every now and then can be nice.

I think this one is “ok” but could need some minor buffs. It’s just a nice addon, nothing major. I still like it tough.

miriforst.1290:

Sneak gyro: This thing is very good. Honestly its really good. Solid. Good work.

And then there was a cliff. Or it catches up with you and then waits for 3 sekittenil it realized you moved on. The pathfinding is sluggish and it needs to be more reactive with the owners movement. But you can play around with that, it’s just a bit annoying but it works. Best gyro, agreed.

Yup, but in order to work as a damaging skill, gyros must inherit engi stats. Period.

Please gyro QoL and bugfixes, please QoL and bugfixes, please AT LEAST BUGFIXES Q_Q!!

I mean an editor link

Can you link me that build? I’m intrested

As I said – GS is good as a ranged opener and never touched again. That it is good for tagging is out of question. But it’s not optimal for either melee or ranged because of the reason WHY you go ranged.

Did you even read everything I wrote? :P

A mesmer without chrono has no place in a group and since a supporter needs a group he can support, chrono is a must.

Greetings!

As a ranged option in open world I recommend staff over GS. GS is sort of a noobtrap. With it, you go ranged against enemies you wouldn’t have to. If you really have to go ranged, better take a staff instead. Let me explain my toughts:

If you are facing an enemy, you have two simply options: ranged or melee.

Melee…
…means you have to be able to dodge or block attacks in order to survive, but you’ll be rewarded with much higher damage. If you need some time off, you can still go ranged for the time you’ll be recharging Mantra of Pain and get your CD’s back from your heal skill or well of precognition for example. You don’t really need ranged here.

Ranged
If you decide to go ranged tough, you’ll better have a good reason to. If the enemy is a melee enemy, he will walk towards you so you’ll end up in melee anyway. You can use a GS for openings and then swap to sword and never touch the GS again tough. But if your enemy is so extremly dangerious that you have to go ranged from time to time (like the Chak Lobber hero point in Auric Basin) a staff is the way to go. You replace the GS and the staff aa with Mantra of Pain anyway, so the weak aa issue is off the table. The staff has the survivablity you need against an enemy you don’t want to fight all the time in close combat. The GS has not. I made a vid to demonstrate this:

If you are facing the world events in open world, all those champions, oh boy you’d be ready for the damage you’ll be doing by picking a staff there. I see so many GS mes just spamming 1-4, but instead they could make use of all those conditions on your enemy and do this: (uploaded screenshot)

If you got questions, just ask

Greez!

Greetings!

I invented the Heal-O-Mancer long ago and it is already sorta a thing. Mes is totally viable as a decent healer, but normally it’s simply better to take a druid instead.

You can use the Heal-O-Mancer as a tank tough, yet it’s not that wise since you’ll normaly should stay to your team with it (unlike Druid who has ranged heal). Unfortunately, if you are not tanking, your tank does have to have 1700 toughness due the mantra channel toughness … Yet for Sabetha it’s a very good option to use a Heal-O-Mancer and replace the druid with a dps profession or use a dps druid for spirits and buffs and raw dmg.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/Finally-PvE-Heal-O-Mancer/first#post5759200

This is my original post from long ago. It is outdated and there are many things I’d do different now. As of todate I would go with this:

• Superior Sigil of Concentraition for 98% boon dura (it’s not in the editor …)
• SoI or WoR according to your allies

Dinosaurs.8674:

As an aside on the “condition damage” thing, the “condition damage” in sigil of bursting is not the same as in rune of the berserker. Bursting will increase your condition damage stat by 6%, which actually isn’t very good. On condi engineer you will gain much more damage from using sigil of geomancy instead (ofc paired with sigil of malice). Just in case some people still don’t know this. Enjoy your ~10g in savings.

Yes bursting increases your main stat condition damage by 6%. The current ratios and base damage of each condition makes this approximately a little bit less than 6% more damage with conditions. Let’s say 5%, since that’s what ANet most likely wanted to achieve to balance it with it’s power version – Force.

Superior Sigil of Geomancy is ~1600 dps for a full buffed condi engi. In order to say that Bursting is better than Geomancy, the condition damage part of the condi engi (20%:80%) must be increased my more than 1600 damage via 5% higher damage. This means the condi engi would have to deal 32’000 dps just with condis. Including power damage this means 40’000 dps. Wich is impossible.

Therefore yes, I 100% agree with your statement that every condi engi should take Malice and Geomancy as their sigils … unless ofc you are a lucky kitten and got all ascended viper trinkets from the raids Then you go for Bursting and Geomancy.

Greez!

SpellOfIniquity.1780:

I think something maybe more like “Machine Gyro” would be nice. It has the same animation but instead it fires projectiles in all directions. Think Rifle Turret but spinning in place with a higher rate of fire.

Cut the duration down, increase the damage a lot and it’d be a nice option for AOE pressure/projectile finishers.

I agree with that one aswell – but the main issue is the same as the blast gyro has – it’s own stats. Damaging gyros MUST inherit the stats of the engineer. ANet stated pets have their own stats, phantasms are an exception. But in my opinion ANet has to draw a line between actual pet and “fancy animation for a damaging skill”. The gyros are the 2nd one and to work they have to use the stats of the scrapper. Blast gyro needs damage and crit chance, shredder / machine gyro needs the same + condi dmg and duration for finishers.

This – is the main issue with gyros and need to be adressed.

David.5974:

Start thinking about tool belt skill not OP but somethink usable in pve+pvp

You mean the shredder gyros TB? I think it’s too weak actually. I like the idea of a daze and damage, but right now it’s like a bomb aa with daze. It just requires a tiny buff like being instant cast OR a stunbreaker OR more damage OR multiple dazes – anything like this.

Greez!
- Ziggy

Anyone else slooowly getting tired of medy and purgy still being bugged after such a long time now? ö.ö’’

Kernell.3197:

Shredder gyro is good for sustain not for damage. Whirl finnisher With water or light field is just awesome !

Can’t disagree more. What does it offer? Water field are RANDOM bolts who heal a tiny bit, only single target. Light fields are RANDOM condi cleanses, also single target. Basicly – those two options are a worse elixier gun, am I right?

Kusa.6438:

I see everyone arguing about quickness stacking and how “people don’t stand in wells” and time warp… yet the real power and source behind quickness stacking is neither of those. The secret behind quickness stacking is Seize the Moment (shatter stack quickness on self) and Signet of Inspiration (share all boons with allies)… So you your 96% goes towards quickness when you apply it to yourself, and then multiplicative effect from your signet to others. I can literally stack and maintain 45 seconds to 1 min quickness on my party.

It’s a nice idea to think about using StM, but Chronophantasma (how do we call this? CP?) is simply better in half organized groups. StM is not even close to be the “real power and source behind quickness stacking” as you called it. It’s obsolete if you have proper gear and allies.

If your allies are unexpirienced and they don’t even know how the mesmer wells work, I wouldn’t expect them to play their own profession good enough to be supported that much. I’d rather boost my own dps in such a situation.

You do NOT use SoI for the quickness in your own team btw, you use it to share the quickness to the 2nd team, for 100% quickness uptime in both subgroups. If you only have to take care of a 5 man squad, you should take WoC instead of SoI for major dmg / alacrity boost.

Kusa.6438:

All you have to do is continuum split, TW, Signet, Split back and TW with a few shatters and use signet again. Very easy to do. Just keep hitting your signet when off cooldown and profit.

I’ve got a video how to use a rotation including SoI. I’m alone in the video, so I can’t do “hopping” between my subgroups, but you would swap the sub each time you’re about to cast SoI (except for the one time you cast it within CS). It’s important to not overstack quickness with SoI, since quickness only stacks 9 times. If you cast multiple SoI right after another, the word “Immune” will pop up over your allies.

Jacob.4280:

For FotM I use this coz the focus is too good to not be taken, the utility it brings and the dmg is awesome (maybe better than iSwordsman) if your group has some fire fields (or other dmg fields) on the ground:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vhAQNAs+dncfC9fitfCmfCUrhlljq+Qj0J9sBCgIDdyOhLD-TxBBQB5RPAWU+dGlgAc/hKp+DAOJAB4BAQEgyWA-e
When reflection or the focus cdr is not needed I swap the trait for Restorative Illusions.

Great input about the utility of the focus itself. Againt trash mobs use the focus pull / warden for cleave damage instead of a sword. Agreed, there is no reason to use a single target phantasm against trash mobs!

Yet against single target enemies (boss fights), the sword dmg is much MUCH higher than the focus damage. Don’t get decieved by the high numbers on your screen of the iwarden.

Phantasmal Warden attacks every 14.2s (13.3s with PH)
Phantasmal Swordsman attacks every kitten (3.5s with PH)

I also recommend to use Domination over Illusions if you have to swap out one of them for Inspiration. Domination gives you a high amount of personal damage wich is quite noticable in fotm where you are 1 of 5 peps and not 1 of 10 like in raids. But I also agree here that they are pretty even in terms of damage and utility. I think it’s rather personal preference.

Greez!
- Madame Le Blanc

Thanks for the input you two!

Yes I agree, it would be “better” for the original design if the gyro would simply have better whirls. But right now the problem about whirls is their aimless design and the 2nd problem is the gyro itself wich does not inherit our condition damage / duration. If whirl finishers won’t get redesigned, they will never be useful, regardless of how many of them per second you activate.

I personally prefer my version for the sake of usefulness in real combat tough.

Greez!
- Ziggy

Wahoo!

Many people think the 6th bonus of the Superior Rune of the Berserker would be buggy since they do not gain 5% condition damage as stated in the tooltip.

There is a difference between “Condition Damage” and “Condition Damage” in this game since HoT. There is the normal condition damage, wich is a stat that you can see in your hero panel. And new there are modifiers for conditions, wich are – unfortunately – also called condition damage by the game.

As you can see in the video, applying the 6th Superior Rune of the Berserker to my head gear does NOT directly increase the stat “Condition Damage” in my hero panel. Yet I now have the modifier of 5% additional damage with conditions applied.

Without the 6th bonus I have 1412 condition damage and deal 1050 damage per burning tic.
With the 6th bonus, still 1412 condition damage, yet 1102 damage per burning tic.

1050 * 1.05 = 1102

The rune is perfectly fine and works properly.

Feel free to ask questions!

Greetings!

Alacrity is not a boon and is unaffected by that food or boon duration in general. Boons are yellowish dyed in your buff section and Alacrity is (together with Super Speed) an exception and sort of a “semi boon”.

You get as much boon duration as possible (normaly a revenant grants you +50% boon duration aswell) for the quickness you apply with your sheild #5 (Tides of Times aka ToT), a well called “Well of Action” and with your elite, Time Warp.
The goal is it to keep up a high amount of quickness to get more group dps compared to the loss of personal dps you would have.

This means in raids for example you will most likely not use Well of Calamity, instead you’ll use Signet of Inspiration (also referred as SoI) to share the boons with the 2nd squad, since your skills only affect 5 ppl (except for shield #5).
This requires some serious tryhard skill, since the Chronomancer will be forced to do “hopping” between the subgroups manually to distribute the quickness evenly.

There is other food you can buy too, there are many different +20% boon duration foods out there. Just pick the cheapest.

Btw I recommend you to watch my videos about the Chronomancer opening and rotation. I just started recording and sharing information via YouTube, so if you enjoyed these vids, I’d be happy for a like!

It’s most beneficial for ALL professions to aim for 100% crit chance in the first place, then you want as much power as possible and the 3rd stat is ferocity.

This is for PvE and not for condi professions ofc! :P

Hey everyone!

Today I was thinking about Shredder Gyro again and how it may be useful. But once again, I couldn’t figure out how this … thing … would be useful in any situtaion. Since it’s a pet it has it’s own stats so it won’t even be good for fire field burn stackings … The main problem is the whirl finisher tough.

So … as you might have guessed by reading the title, I suggest a simple change to this gyro so it will turn from scrappy-shreddy to super-thumper! Wow that word pun :’D

Shredder Gyro renamed to Thumper Gyro: A gyro that can be positioned like the current Shredder Gyro, still deals basicly 0 dmg, but it will now thump every 3 sec over 12 sec (5 times) wich each are a BLAST FINISHER!

With this change you could actually use this gyro for heal, might, stealth and countless other options. It may even make the engi a decent healer? Who knows! I’m completly in love with this idea, so much in love with it that I even really believe that ANet may change it that way. xD But seriously ANet, you do have to realize how useless this gyro atm is, the probably worst utility in gw2 history… ANet – please!

Let me know your toughts about it. Is it still too weak, would it be op? Remember it has an interval of 3 sec for each thump so it wouldn’t be that bursty (heal for ex), yet it would be great for long fights in both pve and pvp!

Greez!
- Ziggy

PS: “Awesome” Paint skills for some fun! xP

You shouldn’t get over 62% crit chance as engi. Well you could go for 70% if you are soloing open world, since there you will most likely not get affected by warriors precision banners. But remember that you will have a decent fury uptime (+20% crit chance) and you’ve got the trait “Hematic Focus” who will further grant you +10% free crit chance against bleeding targets → against ANY target

If you want to use the same gear for raids, go full zerker since there you’ll be using “High Caliber” in melee for another 10%, leaving you with everything above 52% wasted.

Yea I gave you a wrong description back then aswell used some tooltip numbers … wich apparently are wrong >_>

The real damage of those skills are:

Hammer
24743 over 2.75s -> Positive Strike, Negative Bash, Equalizing Blow
20870 over 1.25s -> Electro-whirl
25942 over 2.25s -> Rocket Charge
24120 over 1.75s -> Shock Shield
34559 over 1.25s -> Thunderclap

Grenade Kit
8192 over 1s -> Grenade
17873 over 1s -> Shrapnel Grenade
2786 over 1s -> Flash Grenade
12203 over 1s -> Freeze Grenade
15256 over 1s -> Poison Grenade
28924 over 1s -> Grenade Barrage

Without quickness, full buffed power meta against HEAVY targets. The reasony why you don’t see power scrappers at all is probably because of the bad influence of “famous” ppl and their recommendations. Most engis nowdays are newcomers who play engi because of the raids, not vice versa.

If you got questions go ahead

Imo power scrapper is way better in pve open world than condi. You’ve got way more utility like reflection and blocks and lightning fields with superspeed and heal or cc with leaps. For the new maps I use this build:

hammer has way better survivability than p/p. where exactly do you struggle? fotm, raid, open world in the jungle? what kits do you use? what’s your build?
