Guild Wars 2

just got zerg rolled in wvw. I changed S for protection in tgraits. How is proteection supposed to work? didnt notice anything just got downed,

Haha u become like engineers!! Nexy upcoming year u will be getting great “fixes” every patch. Enjoy the ride! Pls notice you must be ready to change ur build every patch because the paths devs wild minds walk are unknown.

google.3709:

Engineers are suffering from the We have nothing to complain about, so we try hard to find something to complain about syndrome.

IP: longer burns, no RGN 100%!!!! and unless you’re running a 1 condition build, it shouldnt be as easy to remove as people make it to be.

and for PvE, i just completed a frac 48.. Med kit is still my main but Healing turret + Elixir gun felt amazing on any fight where I wanted to support my team, even at 0 healing! soo good

Elixir S was the only nerf. but.. it isnt skill breaking. it still works and not nearly comparable to the grande nerf? how about smoke bomb or who can forget about KR :] we made it out winning this patch!

Only unskilled newbie will use elixir S now. maybe in pve can use it but in WvW i call it suicide button. Another trait became useless.

“just around the corner” how i heard that in july. Gotta love fanboys!

tool kit is not kittenin meelee weapon its meele strike!

Enlighten me: what exactly is the difference?

DPS. in WvW the auto skill is so slow that u die 8 times before able to use. Prypar is sick good skill that i use most ofthen and thhen shield and then usually its time to pop elixir s (in trait lines) AND HEAL URSELF and GET ELIxIR GUN and make retaliation field for ur comrades! I know this kitten profession so top acting.

tool kit is not kittenin meelee weapon its meele strike!

lol using gadgets comon u can do better!

Only serious noob will use S after this. I mean wtf!? Anet devs made history of being kitten lol

How the kitten we are supposed to play now?!?!?!?!?!??? WTFF!?!?!??!?!!?!?!?!?!??!?

Dont worry Anet knows excatly what they are doing. Next patch u get a banana!

What a useless stuff

So wtf they did expect brok rifle engis mechanics? I mean why they justt dont keep their kitten hands off!!!?!?

Engineer the versatile class who now has no stun breaker no melee no protection in close combat has reached the level of being completely useless. There is no point in elixir s nerf. There were no reason to nerf it! Rifle engineer is so broken now! You turn tiny for 3 seconds and prepare to die now because you cant do anything ANYTHING! Seriously Anet you have done alot of bad decisisions for engineer but now you reached new level by completely braking this profession. Whos mastermind idea was to break this? Youve done the worst job in gaming history.

Just waiting for out of nowhere nerfs. Like the elixir S nerf that will damage rifle engi so hard. No bug fixes, nothin in exhange just some meager turret buff so they can say they gave something. The usal serving.

- confusion nerf is called for but huts engineer
-retaliation is called for but only way to meelee on engineer
- elixir s change nerfs like battering ram to the face. I see no point in this. Hopefully Anet reconsider.
- What are we getting?

Well engineer every skill has 40 s cooldown. + inner cooldowns.

Jump Shot – 20 Second CD jump forward.
Acid Bomb – 15 second CD Jump back.

ok ok acid rocks. Jump shot is one of the buggiest skills in game. Hate to die in slowmotion air time animation.

Great ideas for gadgets. Also needs alot work in Cool downs. Coold downs are from beta 1 where they were left there for make sure they wont be too powerfull. their just way too long for now.

CriSPeH.8512:

Elixir S change is pretty sucky.
It should be better than Mist Form because Ele’s have many other means of disengaging from fights and covering ground quickly.

Current Elixir S isn’t the best “pop and run” type stunbreaker. Isn’t that what Rocket Boots is supposed to be?
Elixir S has been so good because you can bow out when you are low health or being bursted and get a heal off or if you had a kit you could switch and Maybe get 1-2 skills off while invulnerable. Since you still need that 1 sec to actually switch to the kit.

Now Elixir S is nothing more than a big blinking light that says,
I used my Stunbreaker utility which was almost certainly my ONLY Stunbreaker.
I will be invincible for 3 secs and not be able to do anything.
Afterwards I will THEN have to use that extra sec to switch to my Kit or try and heal.
Of course anyone attacking me just had 3 secs to let any skills come off of CD and are waiting to use them on me.
So my Stunbreaker will also require me to use a dodge or two to mitigate the burst that the Stunbreaker opened up in the first place.

Oh well maybe it wont be as bad as I think.

THIS!!! S granted us little protection and heal and swap kit on ready to battle. The upcoming change will just screw us! And all who actually knows how to use the momentum of 3 sec tiny engi time knows this.

nerfing pretty much everything apart from bomb kit for turret that stays on for 1 second in battlefield. Reroll engineer to beta version and dont touch it!

very bad SOTG… Anet had no clue whats ticking. “umm yea we aimin turret builds” pfft. Last patch they gave us 5 confusion on prypar as we needed. then they nerf all around confusion because mesmer can spamm it. Elxirir S nerf where it came from? more nerfs on flamer. Ive never seen working flamer build in action. alchemy build gettin targeted?

Every other profession when gets nerfed they give something back. Anet just had a laugh how bad engineer gadgets are and moved on.

WHEN U DO NERF BOMBS GIVE US SOMETHING BACK!

For me WvW is most fun. But everythin to achieve is 100% PVE. Money making, legendary, gears, ascended, guild events world bosses for free rares and ectos PVE. WvW and PVP gives u nothin. Alot of players from my guild have left WvW because there is absolutely nothing. Yes Anet raised droprate but compare stack of spikes to hundreds of golds done in pve t6 mats, ectos, rares, ascended items .. u do the math. If u want to achieve anythin in game its 100% PVE and very dumb minded pve. (mention world boss that actually hit u. )

Well engineer every skill has 40 s cooldown. + inner cooldowns.

expect if elixir engi face thief or warrior that engi becomes useless haha

Yes mesmers got nerf there but whats the purpose of tool kit now? use auto? 500 dmg with slowest dps in game?

Engineer dies before game tursn 1 year old.

Once again anet ha 0 clue of engineer. Lets just nerf everythin just in case. NOTHING IS GIVEN BACK!!! ENGINEER WAS BETTER IN BETA!!

UTTER BULLkitten! WE DONT HAVE MELEE! WE TAKE TON DAMAGE CLOSE UP! MEDIKIT HEALED US A LIL!!! BS BS!

Well hoping for better times but the upcoming patch means we can just delete our engineers. Seriously what an earht Anet?!?!? How do u justify this!? everythin on engineer gets massive nerf and u biff warrior and thief, ROLF!

Biggest issue is gold grind. Been doing some fractals and got item for ascended book. I remembered theres some ectos needed and skillpoints. What I frogot is my book needs 250 powerfull bloods. 38,5s ea this means 96,5 GOLD!!! What in this doesnt make this game korean grind fest? All that matters in this game now is how fast u can grind gold nothin else. T6 mats should be inflated alot and put them drop more and in WvW too.

Im SD rifle engi and have noticed the same thing (point 2.) when facing Hgh engies. Their entering damage is great but I know that and go “duck and cover mode” and burst back with SD and rifle and thats about it. Some HGH been better than others but somehow ive been winning most encounters. Nothing op on them. If u let HGH eat u its ur fault not the builds.

I use rifle so much and cant wait to get legendary rifle to my engi. Only thing you could change is auto attack animation as sniper. (It’s sniper rifle after all.)

Prypar. Enough said

last week havent been able to do cof Contested all the time and event wont trigger. Why do u you spend so much time on content that u dont allow players to play? What is the main idea of contested? I think its needless. If you want to play hour or two GW2 in worst luck u cant do anythin. no world bosses, all ur main dungeons contested and rest pve is just blah.

Solution for this would be nerfing grenade kits damage so it wont hurt engineer so bad.

Yes thanx for turret buff, Kit refintment skills are cool but cool down is ridicilous. KR is now complately useless. All those nice skills updates gone to waste. Please fix the cool down.

YES SCREW THIS COOLDOWN! ALL KR skills are cool now but 20 seconds cool donw is not gaming! WE DONT HAVE 20 SECONDS IN BATTLEFIELD! THIEF BANGS U DOWN in seconds! U WILL FACE MULTIPLE ENEMIES NOT JUST ONE! KEEP THE SKILLS PLANTED BUT TAKE A WAY COOLDOWN! Most of engineer skills are completely useless because of cool downs of 40 seconds! I mean in what situation of the game u can survive with 20s-40s cooldowns! I can tell not in pvp / wvw. PVE CD’s doenst matter because its just dps dps for rares.

on elixir gun this:

1. swap Elixir gun and glue

2. hit #4 and drop an acid bomb

3. start your shooting on the enemy getting hurt by the acid bomb.

This is a smart change, for a build using only EG it’s actually a usefull thing.

I usally tend to start with super elixir + skill 4 for heal and area retaliation which brings refintment to 20 s cd. Glue idea is nice but 20s cd is way too long to do anything with it. Dropping this trait for good now.

I was so exited of tool kit and elixir gun refintment. When i tested eb kit fefintment i literally kitten my pants.

speedbuff sounded great. 1 second gives u absolutely nothing. 3 seconds different world. In WvW it would save many engis life.

What is with this? in WvW borderland me and one invader. 3-4 second delay in every action. I see enemy flying and for myself half of the skills not activate. Thus game is unplayable. Before i had 0 problem with 30 vs 30 zergs. Whats causing this?

We should bare in mind whats important in WvW. all WvW videos being posted are small group/ solo pvp-minded runs. Their fun and show engi can put up a fight. None of the videos show places like rushing tower, stairs fight in tight spot where every second counts (thief here immortal!!), mesmer makes portal to sieges that need urgently taken out. How much ur engi do dmg to siege? WvW is siege wars, fight for towers not pvp. Open area PvP has very small role in WvW. Hopefully engineer will get own special role. (Well there is alredy if the turrets and mortar werent the lamest things in the game!!) Engineers as turrets and siege specialist would make us important. Just like no pro guild go anywhere without decent mesmers.

Agreed! Either nerf down the downed skills to lvl of ranger and engineer or remove them. Some professions have ridiclous downed state! If classes have some unbalance these are beyond them.

Engineers can do well in fights 1v1 an tankcat 1v eternity but for the point gaining wise we are in big trouble. At the moment engineer has total 0 special/unique skills in them to be usefull in WvW server. Played engi since beta and just basically dont bother make new char.

List of must have proffessions for WvW if you concider winning towers/defending towers:

- Elementalist: AOE (u drop sieges on wall harder than siege weapons drop u), Swirling winds (ultimate siege defender. This skill alone can decide the outcome of big battle because you can reflect catapults and trebuchets. TOTAL MUST!

Thief: In game where there is no sttealth reveal this is just hilarious. stealht spamm heartseeker stealth and shrug. Pistol whip thiefs mad as hell too.

Warrior: Great support in buffs /banners + great dps and have insane good burst mode. Also have a look into hammer warrior.

Guardian: tanky pants very hard to kill + support teams

RAnger: Dissed by many but played well by few. Study ranger WvW builds and u find it one the best classes. Also can drop aoe arrows on walls thats usefull

Mesmer: Is there singel skill thats not unique for WvW? IMO best class for WvW. Ur zerg depend on mesmer. golem runs depend on mesmer, go stealth and port ur zerg on enemy siege, stay inside tower and port ur zerg in enenmy tower, do massive damage. If engi would get a glimpse of mesmer i would roll in happiness.

Necro: Condition damage to the fullest + use of fear is very handy. I know very little of necro butgood necros make alot huzzle with their condis.

If i would start now it would be Mesmer or warrior for me. You can have fun with engi but remember no special skills in there.

You can beat WSR in numbers. When things look good more casual /pve players join in. (WSR is big pve server) but on downside ppl leave wvw when things dont go smooth. With this week numbers we could challenge ROF… Lets see next week what we get.

This week didn’t go quite the way i predicted. I was thinki ROS as strong as ROF but it really seems ROS numbers gone down alot. Maybe this is WSR’s strenght: On other servers ppl come and go but WSR have “the root” guilds. Hopefully we can keep this up next week and have a go for t7.

Yes, i have same build as I did with exotics but i gave up on lil amount of power and went ascended with some toughness power crit and now my damage is same but toughness and vita up alot.

Engi is only profession that play 0 role in WvW. It’s fun proff for sure, but thinking pro what is needed in every wvw situation engi provides nothing. (imba damage with immortality = thief, ports = mesmer , pets attackin sieges = Ranger , AOE wipe anythin on the way = eles, mass condi = necro (i think they need more love) , Wipeoutshot,knocks pushesh, banners alot team support = warrior, tank mode with pushes and heals = guardian)

mesmer
ele
thief
warrior/ranger

thats for the wvw if u think it point gain wise.. (not who can beat someone 1v1, those doesnt matter at all)

WSR suffers again from gloryhunting.. (maybe all aservers same thing) When things go well main guilds get alot support but when not it’s basically same ol same WvW players trying to hold on. Rof was clear 1, BT took 2nd quite easy in the end and wsr ran out of gas in wednesday. I saw some new faces in WvW.. hopefully see them again. WSR really needs another TEO size guild + 2WAR sizes to competite tier 7…

I got Eye of janithr as amulet. I think it will stay with me for long even if change into condi dmg pistol engi. Personally I think im at lv l4 at fractals I do mostly WvW. Seems that I will need few items from fractals +10 to make backpack. Fractals runs aint that big problem because my guild does them alot. Ascended items has really big difference in my opinion when u get right set for ur build that u use.

thanx for the link!

Amulets :

Ive been really looking for Eye of janithr. +54 all +9%crit. if most go more into power tougness then janirhs +54 prec would keep prec up. In my traitlines i go 30 firearms so i get alot prec there.
