that’s what i use when i’m going a guild roam if i’m going support anyway with this i can easily stay on the front lines with out to much problems you have healing turret that used with a team can provide massive amounts of aoe healing for the team when you do a push, you’ve got ridiculous amounts of aoe conditions especially conditions that counter the enemy like blind and cripple/immo and a kitten ton of chilling, runes of grenth and sigil of hydromancy you can change to what you want but give it a shot i was surprised about its performance when i first ran it, you can also take the 10 out of alchemy and put it into healing bombs since if your anything like me be doing lots of bombing on the front lines where the extra team heals are very welcome.

Maybe its mistake in link load but Acidic Elixir? Its most useless trait we have. Also there is no HGH trait.

Yea that would be a mistake I’ll take a look at it and edit it if it’s broken

It appears to right on my end, also you don’t have to run acidic elixirs but trying to fight people that stack boons especially protection can be a real problem for power based builds luckily most builds that utilise can be melee heavy and you can still take advantage of the toss elixirs on your self as well as boon removal

I’m on my phone atm but in about 4-5 hours when I get home I’ve got something you might like I use it with my guilds roaming offers a lot of front line support and croud control

Really cool vid, was actually looking to switch from P/P to Rifle as I love the Magnet Pull—>Jump Shot Combo!

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/engineer/?2.0|4.1n.h1h|0.0.0.0.0.0|1n.71i.1n.71i.1n.71i.1n.71i.1n.71h.1n.71h|1g.67.1g.67.1g.67.1g.67.1g.67.1i.61|0.k69.k68.u2ab.0|2e.1|2b.2g.2j.2x.30|e

that’s actually what i was using before i changed to what I’ve got now except i swapped around the kit to what i liked at the time and i toke protective shield over power shoes so yea that will work well probably be a little more reliable then using BOB, since BOB is a little easy to dodge.

Might just be because I’m on my phone but I can’t see your gear unless you didn’t put it in there, I’d only suggest swapping out the chance to cuase vulnerability on Crist for swiftness on crits so you got permanent vigor in combat I’ll assume if this is for pve/wvw your using knights so not to bad good chance to get some big hits from jump shot and Nade barrage, I wouldn’t be to concerned about people commenting or not, I made a post a few days ago with a video for a hgh burst build only got a few dislikes outta it hahaha

hey, first id like to say that this video does no justice to the full potential of this build, the combo consists of jump shot into enemy’s, BOB then activate bomb kit for kit refinement to drag them into a massive amount of damage then proceed how you like to finish them off, you have a massive tank thanks to HGH and with healing and tool belt skills refreshing at 25% hp you get a massive advantage in any fight and it really adds to the tank, taking the new acidic elixirs really helps with trying to fight bunkers that rely on boons just strip them and get back into it, have fun with it and good luck out there

heres the build:
http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/engineer/?2.0|4.1n.h1h|0.0.0.0.0.0|1n.71i.1n.71i.1n.71i.1n.71i.1n.71h.1n.71h|1g.67.1g.67.1g.67.1g.67.1g.67.1i.61|a1.0.f6.u2ac.f4|39.7|2b.2g.2j.2e.0|e

I was running full knights gear with zerker trinkets with knights rifle with a 5% damage increase, citadel runes for fury, healing turret rocket boots slick shoes and bomb kit, traits 20/20/0/10/20 bigger bombs and knock back turrets, swiftness on crits and longer range, vigor on swiftness, gadget recharge and kit refinement, anyway id rocket boot threw my target with slick shoes on then use bob and kit refinement on bomb kit to suck them into bob for a whole lot of kd and kb you deal alot of damage doing this and you can finish them with jumpshot blunderbuss and overcharged shot with the vigor on crit you get a lot of mobility and escaping is a breeze with super speed and rocket boots, you can also use jumpshot to get away if you need to just target it off in a random direction then rocket boots away very very troll build

Well I think they need the rtl with the orb because it made the ele invulnerable when Thayer did it they could get so far with out being stopped rocket boots however you can still be stunned mid air and immo crippled still pritty op but I’d say when people start getting used to it it won’t be such a big deal imo making a engineer for orb running means you Arnt going to have an over large tank, but if anet does decide to neerf it I think they should least wait and see how it effects matchs in the future to see if people have adapted to it or it is infact over powered

Yea good work anet this patch has been all kinds of great, on another note I don’t think we should get a sniper kit I think we should get goggles that for the time there activated make engineer attacks unlockable or undodgeable kinda like a targeting system that makes all your attacks 100% accurate I think that suits the engineers concept of look at the things I’ve made to kill you

Sorta like the Utility Goggles, which make you immune to Blind and grant Fury?

yea but a more powered up version, something that with the right build is more optimal to take over supply kit

Yea good work anet this patch has been all kinds of great, on another note I don’t think we should get a sniper kit I think we should get goggles that for the time there activated make engineer attacks unlockable or undodgeable kinda like a targeting system that makes all your attacks 100% accurate I think that suits the engineers concept of look at the things I’ve made to kill you

Condition rifle builds pair good with eg and ft essentially you can stack up some mean bleeds and burning then cc your target into oblivion, not overly effective solo imo but still pritty effective versus the right targets, in groups you it can really put out the pain when you Condi stack then train a target, I’m currently running a very powerful hgh bomber with rifle but right now I’m on my phone so I’ll wait till I get home to elaborate on that particular build.

10/30/0/30/0, 5% damage on bleeds 5% damage from boons and the potential to get 18% more damage from modified ammo add on the vulnerability you could potential stack upand your looking at an easy 30% more damage , people who run with high power hgh builds will benefit from this greatly i haven’t been able to test it much yet myself but i can easily see getting up and around 1k crits on pistol auto, just something for every one to think about

also notice the damage, yea its around the wrong way land damage is now take off damage and vice versa also something that will need to be fixed asap

so whilst out and about running a build that i normally wouldn’t for any other reason then to have some fun i managed to get this massive critical hit, incase anyone wants to do this also i was using full zerkers, 10/10/0/30/20 and your typical might stacking runes and sigils, i don’t really care for the reasons of why i got it to hit that big but its kitten funny every single time it happens

like karast said if you tap the #1 skill it will follow them for a short time into invis, however if you use the pistol skill poison volley instead of your auto it will keep on target the entire time its channeling so your nearly able to track them threw there entire stealth then burst on the point the last dart hits, i haven’t tested it very much but it can also work with toolkit’s magnet skill which works great on shadow refuge, just pull the thief out the moment you notice him go invis in refuge, other channeling skills id say would work but there might be a trick to using them

i to have made an extremely solid team play and solo play build with settlers and apoth gear, so far its been very effective and that constant chilling does alot more then i thought it would do, any one lacking in condition removal pritty much just has to lay down and die since they run outta skills, don’t know what i was thinking when i ran healing bombs either but in a 1v1 situation with regen and bombs you can heal threw alot of burst condition situations which i thought was rather surprising, the condition combos you get outta it is pretty good to, great condition upkeep from nades with the ability to stack 12 confusion and bunker like a fortress is just great

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/engineer/?2.0|a.1m.h1l.a.1m.h9|0.0.0.0.0.0|1f.713.1f.713.1f.713.1f.713.1f.713.1f.713|2y.0.2y.0.1f.66.1f.66.1f.66.1b.66|u38b.0.u16b.0.a6|30.d|2d.2e.2x.2f.0|e
just swap out the apoth for settlers since buildcraft dosent have it yet

you can mix it up between med kit and healing turret based on your situation turret being better for team situations naturally, can throw in elixir gun in over bombs if you want more ranged tank and condition removal but everyone has there style so work with whats good for you

ill get around to making a video for it at some point but working on a team k/d bunker engi for tpvp video first

I’ve noticed that i don’t earn many badges i run a bunker front line engi with bombkit nadekit and toolkit, so ya know its not like i don’t hit alot of targets and my damage is quite impressive for a bunker build, in a 5-6 hour roaming session i only managed to accumulate about 20 badges, i get on my necro for about 30 mins last night and get about the same amount just killing a few people camping the spawn, it’s not something that annoys me because I’ve already got bulk amount of gear but it would be handy to know how badges are awarded

Hey is the OG guild still around with bunzy or w.e his name was. Its been awhile since i last fought mag lol

I believe it’s SWaG : still winning and grinning now

This is incorrect, OG is still around.

Og is still around but a lot of the good players left and joined swag

Words can’t describe how happy I am to finally face eBay again

even if organized groups did start rolling zergs people would start to adapt and things would just continue like normal if anything it would in time make the game more interesting since there would be a lot more to do then just attacking a door

after a lot of testing nothing really beats hgh as far as engineer tpvp goes it tanks better and does more damage then any other build for an engineer not saying there isn’t other builds that can work but they can’t fill as many different situations as hgh, I think the biggest reason for this is the traits it seems impossible to make a build that hits hard and tanks hard without hgh, hopefully the apparent trait line changes that are coming opens up more room for improvement but I highly doubt seeing a big enough change next patch that will open it up enough but it hopefully will give us some insights into where we can take the engineer as far as tpvp is concerned.

Kaizz.7306:

Well, Just hit 80, and I’m getting my exo gear together right now, but now, I refuse to waste sup runes in stuff that’s not at least rare 80 lol Rabid Gear is aggravating to find, I’m actually in full rare carrion right now, but maybe Carrion isn’t as bad compared to Rabid?

Well with that build if you choose to take boon duration over might duration u can upkeep fairly decent protection uptime so throwing a few carrion in there for the extra hp can give you a very good all-around tank

i used to run a similar build the other alternative you could use is, get 4 runes of alturism and 2 runes of water they dont give you as long might duration but its only 30% less you can still easily maintain 25 might maybe even easier with alturism, but with the extra boon duration you should be able to maintain perma swiftness,fury and 12-16 might when running around if you swap to med kit and back only to use the swiftness and fury buff skill it only takes 1 second to do it once you get used to it and using toss elixir H and B its kinda annoying procing them all the time but its so very good going into combat with it all up

I think what monadproxy forgot to add, engineers can have some of the most fun builds in the game to play while they arnt the best builds to go there is allways a new way to have fun when your playing an engineer

started trying this build out 3 days before you posted your video’s, they were a big help in figuring out a solid build for my self, gotta say this kitten is op, once i got my head around the rotations it was great, easily doing 1v2,3 and winning and when i teamed up with someone it was crazy good, and personally i wouldn’t say your performance was any worse because of the thief’s I’ve roamed with them heaps and its never easy being the only non invis char with thief’s

well unlike alot of other might stacking builds this one dosent have quite as much might duration as other builds so taking alturism with enhance performance is important to get those 25 might stacks up more often, you do however get more boon duration which overall is a bit more effective for a bomber since it relies on front line combat to deal out its biggest hitters

if you want to run p/s over p/p then swap out enhance performance and take 2 runes of fire, 2 runes of hoelbrak and 2 runes of alturism that should give you the extra might duration to upkeep 25 might as often and the shield should easily be able to compensate for the lost boon duration, also if you want to change the 20 points inventions trait for use with the shield id recommend taking out the protection when hit with a critical as you wouldn’t need it as a defense versus hard hitters your shield will take care of that

with the gear there is no reason why you couldn’t just run full rabid i find with the upkeep of boons you can sacrifice some toughness for vitality and maintain a better overall tank but that extra precision is very powerful with a hgh bomb’s at 25 stacks your bombs can get up to 1800 on a crit per bomb on a more tanky target and no tank targets it hits well over 2k so there’s no reason why you cant run all rabid or maybe throw some rampagers in there if you want to.

anyway the best thing ya could do is get in there and test out the different options and go with what suits ya, feel free to hit me up in game if ya want

that’s a video i did for it ill post the build for it to, bombs don’t deal as much damage as nades but you get the opportunity to focus on getting a better tank that really makes a hgh/bomber stand out in solo play or small group fights

Sepahbod.4653:

Heh interesting, because in the game that I am playing P/P of P/S are the weapons of choice for engis and as far as PvP and WvW goes all builds revolves round them. Increasing the direct dmg of Pistols is not gonna happen. Pistol skills are riddled with condition for a reason.

Give me a decent Rifle build. It seems that all PvP builds that has a rifle sucks compared to condition builds. Direct dmg in this game requires such a trade off in survivability, not at all the case with condition dmg.

my pure damage rifle build of choice is 0/20/20/30/0 with knights amour and rifle with berserkers trinkets, take HGH with all elixirs normally B,S and R, 2 runes alturism and 2 hoelbrak 2 fire, stack bulk might then shoot kitten lol, most ive seen outta skill 5 is 8k which is pretty solid it considering the survivability ive gotten outta this build, but in spvp i will admit that rifle sucks compared to p/p p/s builds when it comes to balance between survivability and killing power

NickDollahZ.5348:

Instead we have Grenade kit that can stack 25 bleeds and 25 vulnerability. On top of doing the best direct damage of all our kits/weapons. All you have to do is learn to aim.

Grenade kit is the hybrid kit but it does condition damage and direct damage better then the dedicated ones. I think that is not right.

Oh yea and 1500 range aoe.

TLDR: Pistol auto attack going back to 1/2 attack speed. It will still be inferior to Grenade Kit.

nades are kinda like confusion used to be, works well versus nubs but a good player is just going to avoid taking damage from it

i always disliked the idea that i use 1 for shooting people and one for vomiting on people , but i do think they need to amp up the rate of fire on the pistol up right now our condition builds are a game of attrition and arnt a viable option to use without a kit especially now since they nerfed confusion, pistols just lack a form of hard fast damage in the right circumstance.

ive opted to use rifle over pistols now better range better damage and with the 100% chance to burn with sigil of earth and the 5 point firearm trait stacking conditions is just as easy and most of the time rifle 3 puts me well ahead of the bleeds i would get out of a pistol

ive got both a lvl 80 engineer and necro as well as a guardian, and in my experience nothing is more fun then the engi for wvw, it does take some time to get a solid build that you enjoy playing and can be effective with but once you get used to it, its up hill from there, the s/d zerker engi can be really fun, used properly you can get massive crits out of it other then that it has a whole lot of use’s for team orientated stuff

GuilguiS.2738:

If they just made a GM trait that made the bomb explosions instant and improved the way elixir infused bombs scaled with healing power, they would be much more viable. 300 health(when having more than 1000 healing power) in pvp is nothing, specially when you consider the speed you are getting it. If the healing was 300 base and 500 with more healing power it would be usable.

i agree with that, the worst part about that small heal is that you also have the issue of being in range of your bombs in an intense fight whats the actual chance of you being in range of a bomb to get the heal

i don’t think thief’s need a nerf, there damage is pritty hard and there constant stealthing is really annoying but what needs to change isn’t the thief its the other classes that need to be changed, i run a hgh bomber engi and i beat almost everything easy 1v1 except mesmers and total bunker guardians then the last patch came along and they added in more things that could counter my boons, before that it was just necro’s that specced for boon and condition removal and mesmer’s that toke my boons.

now thief’s and warriors can take advantage of my biggest bonus to my build and as much as i hate that its kinda needed, why should my build have only 2 classes that could easily counter it if those players just so happen to be running my particular counter at that time its just not good enough imo.

so when i say the other classes need to change what i mean is other classes need a way to counter the stealth that is the thieves biggest advantage in a fight and not just an easy change but something that forces me to change my builds dynamic to make it more effective to counter stealth but less effective at fighting the classes that i used to own.

so here’s my choices do i want to beat warriors, rangers, eles, other engis and necros that arnt built to counter me or do i just simply hate thiefs that much that im willing to sacrifice potential killing power just so i can have my sweet revenge?

there’s lots of things they could do to make bombs more effective, make the short fuse trait lower the time it takes for the bomb to go off , shrapnel i think really needs a boost to its chance to go off with bombs maybe leave nades 15% chance and make bombs a 45% chance so its a usable trait with bombs and imo Elixir-infused bombs is in general just not good enough, the heal isn’t that great for the 30 trait points you have to invest into it and i think there’s better combinations of traits and skills to get much more effective aoe heal and damage output so instead i recommend that different bombs cure different conditions for example fire bomb now removes the chilled condition or cleanses poison, glue bomb removes crippled or immobilization, concussion bomb removes vulnerability or weakness something like that, also the gm trait auto-defense bomb dispenser shouldn’t be a grand master trait unless they change it to a big ol bomb instead of smoke bomb and if they didn’t do that maybe make a new gm that does make bombs detonatable or detonate like mines (or ranger traps).

i think these sorts of changes would really open up a new way to play the engineer we would be able to run high damage bombs and getting a potentially larger tank to reward us for a much more melee range heavy build

Couldn’t have said it better myself, this patch had a few things I disliked but the overall options it has opened up are quite significant for both solo play and team play. So please take the time to learn this stuff, or not I’d rather not get a total nerf because every engineer decided to become good players

Well it toke me alot longer then i would have liked but i finally got around to making a 2nd video

there’s 2 different builds i run in this video
the first being my build i posted in my 1st video and a variation of it that relies on heavy conditions and more dodges for the tank and it has no condition removal unless i feel like taking elixir C

anyway enjoy the video and i hope it helps anyone seeking to get better at the engineer, and props to everyone in my video, good luck out there

take 4 runes of altruism and 2 that give either boon duration or might duration along with a sigil of battle and the enhance performance trait if your swapping weapons efficiently you will maintain 20-25 stacks of might easy this is assuming your going a HGH build while roaming you will want to pop elixir b, toss elixir b, toss elixir h and switching between med kit to use the #5 skill and back to Elixir H, going this puts you at 14-16 stacks of might just running around take into account you haven’t used your elixir H yet which is 8 stacks of might puts you up to 22-24 and then you have elixir b at 75% hp which is an extra 3 making 25 might, of course you will have to make sure to watch your skills and time it properly to achieve maximum might up time also remember that the might stacking takes a bit of time, the duration’s last a longer then the cool downs of your skills so stacking might on an engineer takes 2 phase’s, before you enter combat or the start of a fight and the second part being when every thing comes of cool down and you can proc it all again for a good amount of time of 25 might then it will drop down to around 16-20 for a few seconds before you can buff it back up to 25 again, i hope this helps

i think its because the engineer condition builds hit like a ton of bricks and tank out hard at the same time and to top it off they are the engineers easy mode build, there’s no real hard combos to it, and they go solidly on just about any team (a good one anyway).

personally i’m getting bored with running a condition engineer so i started running a slightly tank point pushing engineer with enough knock backs to not only push an enemy well off a point but kill them in mid air which makes me lol all the time, in saying that i’m not going to solo hold a point any time soon with that build.

any way back to HGH, it seems there’s only 2 ways to be powerful with it and that’s taking a kit otherwise your not dealing out very much damage with pistols alone so its either bomb kit or grenade kit and there both easy to avoid if you know how to and from experience running HGH bomber/nader only the more experienced players seem to know how to effectively combat it.

whenever a ele RTL at me i shoot pistol #3 it hits them while there lighting and stacks the blind and there k/d misses

hey i oftenly run a might engineer mainly for wvw, heres the build that i run if this helps

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/engineer/?2.0|a.1b.h1h.a.1b.h5|0.0.0.0.0.0|1b.71i.1b.71i.1b.71i.1b.71i.1b.71h.1b.71h|1b.63.1h.63.1h.63.1h.63.1h.63.1b.63|k3a.0.k16.u2ab.0|30.d|2b.2g.2j.2e.30|e

id say Maskaganda as well, since he clearly knows his kitten about the engineer my vote goes to him

Maskaganda.2043:

I don’t want to sound like an elitist prick, I know these kinds of posts usually sound like that, it’s not my intention BUT:

you really really really really really should stop clicking skills. you are obviously a good player and your build and playstyle works for you but I’m 100% sure that if you stop mouse clicking your 6-0 f1-f4 skills you will be alot better. Unless there’s some physical problem or other reason not to do it, please practice using the keybinds, try rebinding them to some extra mousebuttons or q/e/r/z/x/c, whatever :p

The build is solid, you should watch some of amadeus’ movies too, he runs with bombkit alot and it wrecks stuff in 1v1. Your fights could be better, but they aren’t bad and I feel your pain when forgetting to press record :p

cheers

hahahaha i completely agree with ya i never actually noticed how much i click till i started making the video, its something I’ve been slowly getting better at.

Goloith.6349:

Its all good. Remember people run the builds that fit their playstyle. For example Mask loves the cloak on immobilize for some added survivability. I just know that if I see someone cloak which is because the dudes stuck I’m going to probably going to keep swinging in that Area. Have you tried the wrench kit? Its is a beast since confusion duration was increased and his like a truck. I would swap that out for bomb kit. With blowtorch and the burn trait in explosives you shouldn’t have to hard of time keeping burn up either.

i was running with the burn trait but after testing it in spvp i realized that it didn’t really proc that much so i opted to go for larger explosions so i could get more outta the bombs and using the fire combo field with blowtorch is around the same upkeep, i find i can get a better tank taking less precision and more vitality and pass completely on the critical chance traits and sigil’s and still have a equal and majority of the time better upkeep on damage if i use the bomb kit correctly.

as for wrench kit i sometimes use it in duels but for me when it comes to solo roaming the bomb kits aoe blind and aoe immo/cripple is much handier for fighting larger groups and escaping if i get overwhelmed

Goloith.6349:

I’m sorry but this a terrible build. I’ll explain.

1. You are carrying a bomb kit which is best used with power, not condition damage.
2. You are not using a Rifle which has the best CC and best for setting up bombs.
3. You should be going knights gear.
4. You have no points into firearms yet you use p/p. That’s over 6 stacks of might required to make up for that condition damage.

Alright I can’t just post the bad I’ll post what you did right:

1. Excellent Rune choice
2. Rabid gear is the best if you would have went Wrench Kit, but with a HGH build kitless probably would be best.
3. You went for might in explosives and veggie pizza for duration.
4. Your thinking outside the box, except ANET is yet to finish this profession so people are trying to squeeze as much out as they can.

Music was OK, but opponents weren’t nothing great. If you want to see good builds check out Masks posts

fair enough, I’ve watched most of mask’s video’s hes good and i like his build’s but this is what i run and i have great success with it, any way with might stacking my power gets well over 2k and those might stacks are easy to upkeep my condition damage is also up around the 1900 area, i will agree with you that rifle is good with bombs but i’m utilizing mainly the conditions that you get outta bombs, the large hits from the bombs them self are just a bonus.

thanks for your comments anyway, ill admit the fights arnt the greatest but i’m a bit slow to turning fraps on and miss most of the good fights, ill try to get much better vids next time and hopefully change your opinion on my build.

So after running a heavy boons and conditions engineer for a while now and reading some stuff on it over the last week or so on the forums i decided to make a video and post my build, this will be my first video ever.

and here’s the build

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/engineer/?2.0|a.1b.h1h.a.1b.h5|0.0.0.0.0.0|1b.71i.1b.71i.1b.71i.1b.71i.1b.71h.1b.71h|1b.63.1h.63.1h.63.1h.63.1h.63.1b.63|k3a.0.k16.u2ab.0|30.d|0.0.0.0.0|e

so i run with bomb kit (over the much favorite tool kit) for not only its handy arsenal of skills but with the high amount of might i get it puts bomb skill 1# hits well over 1k damage and in close combat with the forceful explosions trait makes them a massive part of dealing fast heavy damage.

getting on top of ranged targets is also not that hard with massive amounts of swiftness upkeep and a good amount of cripple and immobilization, its near impossible for any target to keep me off of them.

anyway hope ya enjoy it and i plan i doing more videos with better fights

I’ve been running this kinda build for a few weeks now working out the kinks and kitten, any way my variation has had great success and imo it makes the normal hgh build a bit of a joke, I’d like to do a write up for was but I’m at work so I’ll see what I can do this week maybe get some videos or something like that

okay guys its simple change the words “the engineer is versatile” into “the engineer is adaptable”, makes a bit more sense to me when i say that, the reason being the build that i normally run can be used versus every other class and build why you ask, well its simple i change my tactics not my build to what i’m fighting

try stacking as many conditions as you can before they pop invis, since they only cleanse 2 conditions when they use stealth good chance your bleeding and burning damage are going to stick around, that’s how i fight them and it works just about every time in case your wondering with traits and all i can get 5-7 different conditions on them before they decide to use stealth, i have a good laugh when i see a thief use his heal and come out of invis with less hp then he went in

there’s 2 reasons i like to do the /invite /join, when ive had a good fight with some one from another server and i want to have a few duels and friendly conversation, to which ive made lots friends cross servers we don’t share info on whats going on in WvW simply talk builds and setup duels to test each other’s skills and such, the other reason is when some kitten decides to gank u mid fight and dance on your body when he clearly didnt do anything but interuppt a fair fight(that kittens just rude) so i line up a proper 1v1 on said fail player, i wont do that if they just gank and get back to what there doing, only when they jump on your body and dance

i tend to agree with you it is annoying that other class’s have a much easier time but i really feel we need to be looking at engineer in a different prospective maybe other classes can do things we can do lots easier but we arnt those other classes so why do we judge the performance of an engineer on the class and not the player i don’t want to start a fight here about who is the better player that’s simply not the case but at the end of the day its the players decisions that decide the outcome and not the class so maybe i’m just naturally suited to the engineer and your skills allow you to play a better variety of class’s ill be honest ive given every class a shot in spvp just to learn there skills and how i can counter them and ive learnt that me and melee chars is not a good idear im terrible at it but all the ranged on my engineer works well for me and i really shine with it, and ahhh 1 does not simply give away there secret for victory lol maybe in a thread that’s more towards engineer strategy and not engineer vs everything else
