Ok all I’m having a little dilemma about what I want to do next. I have a level 80 engi and guard. I main a engi but have a major love hate relationship with it.
I’m at the point where I am not sure what is next for it. Yes I have some map completion to get done but that’s easy.
I want a long term project do I push for ascended on my engi and enjoy what it brings to groups. Or level a ranger and try something different.
Your wisdom and help will be greatly recived.
I know its a bug. Im messing.
Ok guys im a little frustrated with my engi at the mo. Bless the poor thing is getting some stick from me. So what im looking for is information.
Has anyone got a
PVE build
WVW Condi build and what runes are strong for roaming. Also I here the healing runes will help bombs for zerging. Which runes should I use.
PvP Build. I dont even know where to start.
Cheers.
Is there a way to get a similar build without the Celestial as I don’t have them trinkets.
Im looking to store some runes. Which would you recommend for the engi
Hey guys I know ill get the run zerker or go home and cry stuff from some of you but I need advice. Im a engi. All round play. Play all game modes on my asuran engi. Believe it or not I just only got round to running a full set of zerker. Always have zerk, Knights and cavaliers. This would give me what I felt a good way to play my engi.
This I started reading about the meta build. As you can tell I was never one for meta. And I got some zerk gear and totted off to a vet giant stacked my might and looked at my numbers. I was surprised at how nice they looked. But I head into a dungeon and I get slammed to the floor 3 times. Feeling as squishy as a bug I did not like it. Well my question is. Is knights a good armour to run In pve. I have full zerk trinkets.
Running
30/30/xxx
All advice is good. Thanks.
I run 30/30/0/0/10
Using this now and been using it for awhile. But a mix of berserker, knights and cavaliers armour and trinkets.
Explosives
Bombs have bigging radius
Short Fuse
Grenadier
Firearms
This all depends on what im doing the only trait that I keep is modified ammunition.
Tools
Speedy kits or what ever is needed depends on the area.
I also run
Toxic Sharping Stone
Koi Cakes Giver Weapons.
I feel this helps with Modified Ammunition
Ill tell you from a engineer perspective we are far from boring. You either dont play, can’t play it or dont know how. Im gonna be pretty biased as I play engi. We may have to work harder than others but its a hell of a lot of fun doing it. Try it, run flamethrower, bombs and elixir S. Burn stuff, blow kitten up. And stealth away.
Hello all. I need your advice. I have 1 level 80. That being a engineer. Now im finding it stale at the moment and not sure why. Really not sure why. So I think a new Character would do me good.
Tried them all really but need to find a fun alt to bounce around on.
Mesmer is where im thinking but I cant get past the grind.
Warrior seems a good choice but will it be stale.
Just need a friendly help in hand.
Ok I read that and I see this. But my hero screen shows 126% condition duration with the ability to increase to 130%
So if I cant go above how come the game allows me to
Hello guys. I need your help. Im working on a wvw condition build and want to know if there is any point going more than 100% condition duration in my build. I can get at the minute 126% condition duration. Is this pointless
Hi guys I’m looking for advice on the above classes. I’m looking to change from engi to something different and the warrior or mesmer fits the bill. I play pve, Fractals, dungeons. Some wvw some pvp but this is to be my main.
I love a good mix of combat, ranged and melee with some nice aoe. I want in the long run to be able to solo champs, dungeons etc.
Your advice would be great
Here is the build I’m putting together. Its a bomb condi build but not sure if it would work and so on.
Any advice and tips would be lovely.
Hello guys I need advice on a race to roll for my guard.
I’m stuck between a Norn or a Asura. I love T3 Asuran Armour. But also love how a Norn makes everything look good.
What you guys think
Hi guys. I am trying hard to keep my engi as my main. I feel I am missing out on what other classes can do. For me I don’t really want to give up my engi and roll something else. But I want to feel I do more in these areas.
I’m running a HGH, high boon stack build. With nades.
30/0/0/30/10. Feels good at solo play. Keeping might up and so on. But I don’t feel I am doing enough for my party.
What I am looking for is a good solid build for the areas in the title, that does not run static discharge.
Also I want to know if anyone has solo’ed a dungeon or a champion with your engi. And what is the best build if you have.
It must be bugged for me. Because I totally understand what is being said. Your not understanding what I’m saying.
When I press my number 6 key to activate my med kit the might does not work. But on other heal skills like heal turret and elixir H it works.
Wow thanks for that.
I will run test again tonight as it was not working even on pressing number 6 for me. I’ll even post a video.
The med kit for me is def not granting the might on using a heal skill
At the moment I have started running a big boon might stack type build. Works a treat love it.
Tonight i was playing with the heal skills and I have runes of Altruism on which we know give might when using a heal skill. All other heal skills work bar medkit. The toolbelt skill which is the heal does not work. Why is this.
It also does not work with the trait that gives you might when using a heal skill
hello guys, I am looking to make or work on a strong aggro holding build for pve dungeons and fractals, this is because I do not run a guardian and want to see what I can do with a Engi
Cheers
Ok thanks. Is there any boon stacking long duration variants or not. Never really looked at the engi as a boon stacker as such but wondering what else is out there. Maybe with bombs.
Should I take healing turret for condi clear or do i have enough.
Hello guy’s i have just come back from a short break and want to change my engi build. The following is what I’m thinking.
I’m looking to stack up my boon duration to keep might up as long as possible. While still holding abgood position in dungeons and the like. I want to run mid level. So support and DPS.
Weapons of choice is FT/EG
Help would be lovely.
So I have been wondering as engineers have you guys solo’ed dungeons and any champs. If so can I have advice on builds and what is the best to do.
I run a full bunker engi at the minute. This is because I have just started playing PvP. That said my bunker engi with 30pts in inventions is a build I won’t change.
To me Coglin is right that line has some hellish good traits that have saved me from dying.
Yes I can’t kill quick but my heal combined with my toughness makes me very hard to be killed. I will out heal and the slowly kill the enemy. I like this style. I would not change my PvP build. Not for a while.
Alright guys I have been posting and lerking about on here for a little while now, and now I finally decided to give WvW a try. What I need is good builds across the board.
Cheers
I finished the tower like most of us. Got my self a new back pack. Looks amazing. Then I put my kits on. And I can’t show it off
Ran this or a very similar style build last night. And oh hell it was good. I was using elixir s which I love.
Found it very strong. And yup you can kill people. Does take time.
Cool build. Gonna try it. I’m running a bunker build. Was my first time in PvP tonight. The bunker served me very well
What great answers. Thank you.
The reason I ask is I want a class different from the one I’m running. I have a level 80 asuran engineer. Yes its hell a lot of fun. With tons of viable options. I want to level and play something different for a bit. So I don’t bore myself of my engineer.
This is why I ask your advice. And so far its amazing to see what great and wonderful answers there are.
I’m a little stuck with what to make my next 80. And need your input with what makes you play the class you play. Why do you log on and keep levelling, levelling that class.
Thanks.
Hello guys I am rerolling my guardian and want the look to be a dark evil style Chaos Marine. Maybe a good side with Blood Angels.
As a massive 40k fan, and want to bring it to Guild Wars 2
Hello guardians of Tyria I come here for you knowledge and advice on guardians in pve. I have put countless hours into my Asuran Engineer and now looming for a class with a sword and staff and good hitting power.
What are the current state of the Guardian Classes. Are they as needed in groups for dungeons, Fractals and so on.
I’m a pve players and want to maximise my content.
Thanks.
I need you thoughts and advice on a light armour class. This will be my norn. I am looking through all three light armour classes and want something fun and look OKs good while playing.
I want a staff weapon so Those classes are perfect.
Sorry should have said its for pve I am working on a condi build for wvw.
So pve build please.
Ok I been playing with my build and it seems to lack a certain style so looking to bring something different and try something I not tried Elixir.
So I need a good DPS build that uses grenades and elixirs.
Thanks.
Guys I’m looking for a good champion solo class. I have a level 80 engineer but looking to try something else that has good solo skills.
Thanks.
Hello one and all Engineers I would like to try and put together a Engineer only guild, look at doing events and stuff as Engineers one and all.
Would love to get us all in one guild share ideas and talk engineer trash.
Thanks
Hello guys. I am looking to roll a new toon and have always been interested in thief’s. Problem is I see so much complaining on these forums it puts me off from rolling it.
So I ask in pve content and I mean all pve content are they viable and fun. My engineer is great fun on many scales. I love using it, but I do need to try something else.
I like to have a good learning curve. Not into easy stuff. This is why I would like to try this or a mesmer.
That Fractal looks like its the one where you have to shatter the statues armour plates and climb up to the boss fight.
You also bow at the end
I have created a new build for you guys to look at. Its what I’m running at the moment in this pve. Its called the Go anywhere pve build due to the fact I feel it works in all areas off pve. I have tried and tested it in dungeons and other content and so far works great.
Its a 3 kit build with healing turret.
It works well. You use the 3 kits depending where you are. Bomb kit is your main out right attack. With flamethrower used for tagging events. Elixir gun is used for its jump back and #5 skill along with all the others.
I have made a more hybrid build with burning will post later.
What you all think.
For me the engineer is like a family car that you keep going. Its a class that has everything going for it but has down falls. So does every class.
But like that family car I don’t car. The engineer is what makes me want to play this game. This class is amazing in different ways. I find other classes boring. Engineer skill level is high enough to keep you going. Then the builds you can create. The class it self is great I think in all areas of the game.
@Captain Swag I’m not bottles necked into running the meta builds I am running my own. That I’m putting a lot of hard work into making bombs is a big part of it. Why because I enjoy them. Kits like bombs and nades make a engineer its class along with other kits. There still is no reason behind this at all.
@jniel your playing bomb kits wrong if you feel they suck.
Hello all. I’m in the process if working on a bombkit build with FT and EG as the utility skills. I will post my build when am done with my final work.
The reason I ask about healing in PVE is I have 323 as my healing stat. My build is a hybrid I like a good mixture of all stats.
My build works around perma regeneration. Keep that boon constant.
But is it worth it with such low healing power. Or is around 300 fine.
Thanks.
I’ll have what ever the op is smoking. My whole build would be ruined if the nerfed bombs. I spend my time with my bomb kit. Its what makes me play my engineer.
You know what I’ll show you the door and kick you out myself.
I’m not online. I logged of about 10mins ago so any help would be lovely.
