Guild Wars 2

Mathrin.3590:

Because Flame Jet. 10 hits in 2 seconds. Faster than anything else in the game.

I’m confused. Is that a bad or a good thing?

Can someone explain exactly why condition damage doesn’t matter in this case? I’m assuming it has to do with the function of how the ticks work. I was under the impression that it was mandatory for this build as it increased the damage output as well as duration.

I’ll have to try again when I get home @Debbysaurus. I appreciate all the tips. It seems that it’s just about massive team coordination which I guess is lacking in pugs. Unfortunately pugs is all I can get as my entire guild is locals that are taking a break from the game or have left entirely. The woes of an enternal pugger.

So I’m assuming Rabid stats are not what I want to go with. I’ve been hearing that from several places. Before I invest all my time and gold into getting a different set what’s the ideal way to go here? I’ve seen Berserker, Knight, and everything in between.

Here’s a better look at everything I have equipped and set right this second. I love the build but just wanted to know some tips. I’m interested to know if the stat combo I’ve chosen is the best for this build as the original creator didn’t really specify a stat combo just that power and condition damage are ideally equal. Also, I’m highly unfamiliar with Ascended infusions and all that jazz and would like to get some pointers on my setup as well. I just put cond damage in offensive and toughness in defensive currently as dumping it all into cond damage would probably not be ideal nor cost effective as omni infusions require more T6 mats to make. Thanks for all the ideas so far.

Anyone have a good flamethrower build. Mine i use is http://www.gw2build.com/builds/engineer-the-way-of-the-flamethrower-pve-engineer-pve-flamethrower-5716.html

I didn’t create this one. I feel like it might be outdated since it was posted long ago but I’ve been using it since beta. I use complete Rabid gear. Is my stat combo good for this? With the big skill update I feel like maybe I’m behind the times. I’d like to keep using a FT build as I like the kit. Any ideas?

@Debbysaurus Was this used to solo it? Can you go into detail about the build a little more like where certain skills would be ideal and when to use them?

@Alur.7510 Are you aware of any builds that would help for an engi? Anyone have any links for a build that would be ideal for this content?

I think the big problem I’ve having the most is that no one wants to do it because of the high difficulty. Therefore, it takes me 4 hours to get a group together and when I do they attempt it once and then disband from shear frustration. I’m all for difficult events but it’s not fun when no one wants to participate with you. As an engineer I don’t feel like I can or wish to solo it. This is group content in my opinion but the groups just aren’t willing. Hopefully it’ll get toned down just a tad. Even a small tweak could fix this issue.

I don’t say this much but Tier 4 is ridiculous. It’s worse than how hard that one Norn was pre nerf on Belcher’s Bluff. This needs to have something changed about it. I find it impossible to do with 1,2,3,4 and 5 person groups no matter the class makeup or skill set. I’ve been attempting it post patch for 2 days about 9+ hours everyday. And that’s all I’ve been doing in GW. This is just not fun. I’d really like to complete it for the achievement as the rewards other than that are minimal but come on. It shouldn’t go from baby mode to impossible. That concludes my only complaint this patch.
