Guild Wars 2

There was a thread about how engineers are absolute trash unless we start busting out all of our combos. I just really don’t like to think of the class as such. Also, Elementalists may indeed have less fields than we do but I believe most of them to be more accessible to the average build. Whereas engineers have to have a little bit of everything to have access to reliable combos.

Agreed, OP.

Just because Engis are versatile, doesn’t necessarily mean that we are amazing at comboing. I would call the Warrior the master of finishers and the Elementalist the master of Fields.

I honestly don’t see the Engineer as a “good comboer”.

The whiners are the people who try and exploit a class for all its worth at the expense of balance.

If Anet believes Thief damage is to be nerfed for the sake of balance, then they are making the right decision.

I’d never even considered this. Do we seriously lose the stats of our weapons when we switch to a kit?

I’ve been really worried about Engineers lately and would love if upcoming patch changes help the class out.

Agreed. Fix necros already.

Engineers and Necros (followed by Rangers) are in the worst positions right now. I think we can expect to see some positive changes to all these classes soon.

Agreed. The offhand pistol skills are abyssmal. They simply do not combine well with the main hand skills.

Bad idea. But a good idea would be to make the projectiles move faster like they did for the Mesmer’s Scepter.

So after much coaxing on my part, my favourite niece finally decided to make a female Guardian because she thought the Greatsword stance on my male Guardian looked cool. So she leveled up a few times and finally found a greatsword. She equipped it and her character just kinda held it there, pointing downwards. I had never noticed that the female greatsword stance was so lame. Needless to say, she was thoroughly disappointed at how her character held her weapon compared to mine.

I notice idle stances are the same for both genders of other races. Why is it that human females get the shaft? For example, both Asuran male and females hold their greatswords over their shoulders (which is pretty awesome). I’d love if Anet planned on changing this in the future, and so would my niece.
Screens, so you can see what I’m talking about:

Agreed 100%. As a shout warrior, I can’t even tell how much my shouts heal, I just know that “they heal”.

Agreed. Would love and official response on this.

I’d love a CM response on this. It’s completely ridiculous. I can’t progress my story.
