Echelon.5384:

It would be OP to give engineers a character building option every other class has?

That argument is a double edge sword. The list of limitations the engineer has, that do not hinder other classes far out weighs any argument that this would in any way be OP

Hello,
Also one last question, I see people out there saying there having and EZ time on there engineer, but every single one of them has been using the bomb kit. I really don’t care for bomb kits. Bomb kits are so gimmicky, you run around in a circle and throw down bombs. That to me is the most sad use of skill and most boring. Is there other builds that are just as effective but don’t use bombs?

Part of your biggest problem in my opinion is the fact that you developed several wrong ideas about the profession, right from the start. I believe the general consensus is that bombs (and grenades, since they are similar only ranged) are quite good for damage and function very well.

Telemachos.2370:

Be able to increase the base value of super elixir to reflect buffed HP in WvW (basically 20k+).

Are you referring to the fact that it can only benefit 5 players at once? Due to the fact that an enemy can only damage 5 of us with any given AoE, I feel it is quit reasonable that we can only heal 5 of ourselves.

This has been a thorn in the side of engineers since BWE1. It is good to see such a quick response on the subject, the day the sub forum opens. Thanks for the fast reply Jon

If you’re talking about when you die and you are in the Rez state, let me start out by saying how much I hate this in PvP. PvE its ok, but in PvP where you try to play serious, it just seems stupid, and takes the skill away from the game. Why? Because you go through all the trouble of killing someone and then you have to kill them some more after you

If they are downed, they are not dead, and you did not kill them, you simply incapacitated them to an extent. You still need to finish them.

It is not less annoying, then the fact that once I down and finish a player, they will be running right back at me in a matter of minutes after respawning.

I would be willing to bet though, when you are down and fighting to live so you do not have to run back from a spawn point, that you appreciate the chance to fight for your life.
