Guild Wars 2

yeah same here. still the same for me, still wannabe ele.

tested the “new” FT in WvW.
Complete bull, 400 range low dmg, crappy targetting or aoe cone whatever you wanna call it.
Maybe for the ppl that run fractals / pve / farm / anything else than WvW can be good.

never liked grenades. lob lob lob boring.
I`ll stick to my elixir gun.

nice but sad
cause it is and it will be true.

using dual pistols and alot of cond dmg, but under +50% cond duration = bad, right?

Engineer in my opinion.

since we got tanks (guardians/some eles/ some other mutants) we should have a decent Flamethrower !
where do I sign the petition?

weh so no good agains an ele or a thief
ufff, I`ll look for some other niche nuild for wvw then…

is Weakness good agains any attack? magic / physical?

Elixir F seams to miss alot and it does work with HGH.

my interest is wvw exclusive, not pve.

one word:
Obstructed.

it`s just a game.
I`ll play it until something better comes along or until I have my fill of nerfs and lame bugs.

no one said warr = eng and no one said warr should = eng.

would Arah hold better rewards then AC you think ? I saw that the armors / weps are pretty nice.
TA rewards are also nice, but the dungeons STINKS.

totally boring week with crappy zerg fights, always the same tactics, all zergs moving in same same ways, same patterns, same hammer guardians as always.
all map green, gz, better and bigger zergs there.

and on this thread same old rivalry heh.

Toss Elixir S = Stealth OR Stability, once / minute.

so once / fight you get to have stealth or stability, but since both are buffs that are supposed to save your kitten and you have 50% chance of receiving the one that could save you.

how can you argue that this is a strength of the class?

why would AC provide more gold than CoF for example?
I`ve done a few runs and people usually skip / run from all the mobs :/

OptimistPrime.9283:

Want to combat a thief? Look at what your skills do. Every class has something that can combat a thief. .

Which class gets the “See Stealth” skill?

hehe true.

Missy.7356:

To those that are true Pikens, how much fun you think we having atm?

Also when all the map is green and we really cant be assed to keep paying out for rams what exactly do you do?

Honestly cant wait til this week is over,

To Anet stop all these free transfers its just making things so unbalanced.

wow interesting and competitive week!

killing lowbies and glass cannons. typical thief. crap movie, thumb down.

yeah what sostronk said.
if you wanna see bots, check Orr and Southshore cove area. You`ll find Plenty.
IF AN would want to do something about it and even if they would not be able to find an automated way (which is absurd) they could send 1-2 guys to roam the servers and check a few zones. They could mark / ban them individually and manually.
but meh.

90% of the guys you kill in the video show very low skill. If you want people to take you seriously you might want to show better fights in the future.
IMO.

what is DR ?
thx

Hello,
I can play around 2 hours each day. I am curious, what would be more efficient in terms of gold, should I do some CoF / AC runs or should I gather Mithril and wood around Orr?

Once every 3-4 days I would require some money to buy food / oils / repairs for the time I spend in WvW.

thank you.

the things I dislike alot about this builds are:
- hard to get cond duration, and the rare pizza is too expensive. No cond duration = weak pew pew
- random swiftness, too random.
- random cloak. when i get extra big in staid of invisible = extra bad.

when I leveled my last toon to 80, I skipped the Orr zones. They are deserted, empty of players.
The bots have the usual spots, and the teleport / log to farm nodes and such, but players to free temples / finish events? nope.

only wvwvw, when I do play.
Pve = zero.

what kind of armors / runes / sigils / etc does this build use?

why would 2xdragonshot be the best setup ? not all of us are running the same build with same gear, jewls and same food.
no such thing as best xxx unless you give the complete details. and even then, nothing is 100% ‘the best’.
IMO.

Binary Rain.4869:

Thieves are really easy to counter. Dodge their steal, and bla bla

please help us do that. when would a Thief use the steal? when he is coming straight for you from a forward easy to see place, and then he stops to calculate the range, will he then press F1 ? Cause golly, I will try to ‘dodge’ the steal and then proceed to obliterate him.

how do you counter a BS thief with elixir s & drop on cooldown ?

got 5k steal / 5k C&d /9k bs / 8k hs then normal melee and dead. under 2s, with nothing else that I could do.

you can`t have 2×25 stacks.

so chose 1 sigil with stacks, and 1 sigil that procs something.

wish the FT would not miss, just like the one the mobs from CoF use.

holska.4127:

All I see when people ask about the builds for this class are all pvp and that’s sad because this game is so much more then a pvp esport.

not THAT much more, really. At least for me.

on topic: eng is decent at most, comparable to necro in terms on awkwardness of the skills / traits. IMO it`s a mediocre prof, with many clunky mechanics.

Since you got the game, try it and see if it suits your play style.

rifle warr if you want something close to sniper.

big changes in the near future for eng? I think not after this:

ColinJohanson.2394:

Hey guys,

Just to help provide some clarity on this, we’ll be releasing within the next couple of weeks a high level summary of our big plans for the first half of 2013 to help provide more transparency into our plans with the game going forward. This will include providing more details about our goals for the game, information about the stories and features that you’ll see in the Jan/Feb/March releases.

To set expectations accordingly, the January release will be a relatively small release that sets the table for the stories and features we plan to roll out with the Feb/March releases and beyond. Also, there will be no new race, profession, or new region with these larger Feb/March releases. One of our major goals with these releases is making our existing world as strong as possible, ensuring there are reasons to go to all the locations in the world we’ve already built, and strengthening the core game we’ve provided. In saying this will be an expansions worth of stuff in these releases, we’re talking about the number of new features that will be rolled out across PvE, WvW, and PvP in early 2013, which usually you’d only find in an expansion for a traditional MMORPG.

More details and specifics to come in the next couple of weeks, but I hope that helps provide some more insight into what to expect at a very high level.

Choops.3710:

. “Pop turrets, go afk, collect glory.”

YES!

kekuso what kind of gear setup do you use? Cond + prec ?

Chickenshoes.6250:

I can hug the boss with box of nails and he can’t catch anybody to do that damage

which boss would that be? Ist lupi or any other decent boss?

too many buttons…. for such a mediocre goal….
I aim to kill undeads in a decent pace… I will respec / re-gear for condition dmg once I hit 55. I am now 53 and using a rifle and power / toughness gear it just takes too long to kill undeads. I kite, I snare, etc.
It just feels clumsy.
I don`t know if this is the way AN wanted to make it (the eng prof) or if I am a bad player / wrong spec / gear, but it just feels that the effort put in playing this does is too big for the reward.

what communication? when was the last useful post from someone at AN in the eng forum?

communication = both ways.

updated weapon and armor and I put some gems in the armor slots, it`s going smoother now.

as far as weapons go, would a condition focused spec + pistol / 2xpistol work for leveling? I saw that alot of people reccomand using the rifle.

at level 31, using a rifle and bomb kit I have alot of trouble killing lv 30 mobs. I must shoot 15-20 times to kill one.
what am I doing wrong?…

Lv 16 eng, hits a lv 16 monster with a lv 15 pistol for 25 dmg, add a bleed to that.
Lb 16 warr/guard hits a lv 16 monster with a lv 15 axe/sword for 90/80 dmg, add bleed if warr.

a pleasure to level, no doubt. the warr / guard that is.

I would enjoy GW2 more if the dungeon fights / mobs / events / whatever you want to call them would not be so… garbage (most of them unfortunately).

you people waste too much of your life with this IMO.

real life is not that long.

Elthuzar.9478:

I was able to fight a Thief the other day while reviving two team mates.. I left my team mates at 95% before I killed the Thief.. just because I didn’t want to share the kill.

same thief mentality, grats.

I do not use LB. Bad wep IMO.

if you fight 1v1 with a guy that know what he`s doing, and you are a condition necro, you are done in pretty short time.
if you fight “more than one” then…

I transfered some weeks ago from Desolation to Gandara. The players from Gandara, IMO, are veeery disorganized and 90% of them suffer from tunnel vision. Even when a good commander (only about 3-4 able ones sadly) yells at them “don`t chase them / follow quick / repair doors” ppl run all over and screw it up in 99% of cases.
How Gandara is not the in a worse position that it is now, IMO is a miracle, or a testiment to the few (very few) good w3 guilds.

Always crying “oh the french team up against us” or “oh we are outnumbered” is a complete bull. They play better, they move together, they have buffs/heals/etc.

fine so no badges then.
