the 50% + duration on dazes doesn’t seem to work on hilt bash. timed them with and without. The daze also seems to be 2 seconds not 1 second like it says on the the tool tip
Make up your mind anet. It’s either a power weapon or a condi weapon.
Honed axes improves your crit damage with a mainhand axe, yet it does terrible damage, axe 1 with it’s slow throw speed and it’s whopping max 1k crits with 72 % crit damage and 3k power. Axe 2 /3 have no place in a power build whatsoever
Atleast if it bounced 5 times it would do some substantial damage against 2 people
~ Paid for by rangers for a more skillful tomorrow.™
every class in this game doesn’t take a lot of skill. the difference is that some classes work while being easy to play while some others don’t work very well even though you are playing properly / still easy to play.
I agree with Jumper, nxbonx your missing the point. In SOTG they said rangers couldn’t take the extra skills becuz they wouldn’t be attractive to pve or new players. When super mentioned ele,engi they completely ignored it and said in pve they only used 1 attune/weapon set regardless. We all know they don’t care about skill ceiling only skill floor, or basically how easy for complete morons to play.
This game lost all hope of skillful play.
Good to see the typical hyperbole on this forum.
There are legitimate things to complain about, but the skill floor is not one of them.
You can spam on certain builds, but this game requires far more skillful than most MMOs.
It’s also more difficult to balance because every profession can play multiple roles.
In fact, part of the “skill” is learning multiple builds/roles per profession.
also for make god balance u should say to anet to put voice over of asra when he do skill. like he do atoatak and he say “i am ato attack!!!” or he do stelth he say “i do stelth!”! so we can kno wat he doin
They should do this for the ranger shortbow 1, longbow 1, and longbow 2.
Every time they use 1 make them say, “one” in a really flat, monotone voice. And for the 2 it would be “two” of course, except faster. 8D

good ide man . this guy know his stuf. asura should transform into norn whenever he kest any spel so it equal ground fair play
Yeah it is a little silly that all the top teams in spvp run asuras. In my opinion to balance it, make everyone the same height in spvp. Problem solved.
I like the ones with the stream title like “girl gamer” “girl streamer”. And have more than the combined total of all gw2 streamers on their first day streaming gw2.

Norn – +50% Damage +50% Toughness due to being fat
Charr- +50% Walk speed due to hind legs
Human- No reward or punishment for being normal and boring
Sylvari- +50% Damage to burning, +50% regeneration on sunny maps
Asura- -50% Damage, -50% jump height, -50% toughness, Advantage of being small and hard to focus / see animations.
Ur welcom anet srs.
Edit: i reread my thrad and realize i was very unfair to asura.
While I share your anger with you on the Spirit Ranger,laquito. But in my point of view, CC warrior is absolutely not a facestorm class. Condition Warrior, maybe but CC Warrior, not so much. The distinguish between a good CC Warrior and a bad CC Warrior is as clear as day and night. A bad CC Warrior will ALWAYS let you loose a few times during the stun, I use that time to kite, recover myself, getting prepare better for the next stun while a Good CC Warrior will give you NO time to get a hold of yourself. I have been duelling with them both and I can tell you that with my pride put on the line that CC Warrior is not a faceroll class like a lot of people have been mistaken. I don’t know how to deal with CC WARRIOR as a Thief, so can not give you advice there. However, I play Engineer Triple Kit Teldo-Style with the use of no Stunbreaker and like I said, bad CC. Warrior will NEVER can win against this build with my playstyle but CC Warrior will ALWAYS kill me from 100% to 0%.
By no means, I don’t play Warrior as a main and it by far my favourite class. So please exclude me from the thought that because I like one,I speak good for them.
It is slow activating, extremely telegraphed, average damage, makes melee useful. The only flaws are the fact that the game is designed to be spammy and fast space (again spammy) and dodging is free cheap.
Agreed. I don’t think weapons like ele staff, ranger longbow, necro axe should be viewed as underpowered, but what everything else should be like. Spam weapons / abilities need to be changed.
B.O.B won’t be nerfed.. It would take too much work to “Fix” this considering this is only viable as a troll build for hotjoin or a cool trick for your friends (Try going this glassy on tPvP and watch their thiefs and mesmer bear hug you)
Everyone takes supply crate(exept me)
Scope will never be fixed! apparently it will be remade <3 Proof!
I haven’t used supply crate in like 4 months. Rampage form too op
You had a 50/50 chance of it even going right. If you had pulled tornado on elixir X instead of rampaged you would have knocked players clear of the blast radius, giving you an effective blast of ZERO!
What is it with some engineers? Find obscure ways of doing half decent damage that are difficult to pull off and harder again to replicate/maintain. Then come screaming to own forums to nerf yourself. Does this big noting yourselves warrant sucking the fun out of these games? I hope you get kill shoted, shattered, C&D bs hs hs hs, 100 bladed to the face all day long. That way you can justify your Munchhausen by proxy attitude. Or better yet find yourself a different class to suck the soul out off.
Elite isnt for mobility. Elite is for node pressure / perma CC/ stomp denial / stomping. 25 might stack 1 on tornado is no joke. Bouncing 3.5k lightning is pretty painful.
Try the build, I promise it has some insane dps for the sustainability it has. EG 4 crits for 1.8ks, FT 2 crits for 2.5-4.5k. EG 2 does bouncing damage for 2k a pop.
You have 3.1k – 3.7k power (depending if you want to might stack or not) with 20-30 % crit chance with good healing power and toughness. I would strongly trying the build out before saying it lacks anything.
You took the criticism like a personal insult for some reason, it seems. I played a build that was nearly identical a while back, so I speak from personal experience. This might be a Tier difference – average skill level amongst soloers/roamers seems to scale down linearly as you go down the tiers (from my experience anyway). Not to say that you might not understand your class well, but others perhaps not quite as much.
If the build is working for you there then that’s great, I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
Edit: Just realized you said this was for “node pressure”, so it must be an sPvP build. That’s a different story, I assumed we were discussing WvW considering you never specified.
They need be a proper 360 range area denial. They could achieve this by increasing mine explosion radius and add more consistent placement. So it feels more like a mine field instead of an old battle ground where u might step on a mine.
I think that will give them the niche they need. As it stands now I use it more against walls or tight spaces to reduce spread and instantly detonate it for vulnerability stacking. It is more of a crappy version of Grenade Barrage right now. Although the boon removal is nice on certain boss fights. Hard to use in PvP environment as u have to get your opponent to run into it to be effective.
The only change it really need is consistent placing bigger explosion radius WITHOUT traiting. It’s already really good passive damage + boon removal + burst as it is.
This looks very interesting:-)
First build:
- Problem can be condi removeal (I am not sure if that interupt elite trick with lyssa runes still works).
- You dont use HGH or 409 so you can replace H for MedKit (Fury and better Swiftness) or turret for amazing condi removeal and also water fields (acid bomb + water field is great escape heal).
- Elixir S is great for stomp but after nerf.. Try think about R I think its much better these days.
- About traits. Fast-Acting Elixirs afaik dont affect EG skills or elite so you dont really need them. Maybe best will be add only 25 points into Alchemy and another 5 to Tools for Inertial converter.
- Battle sigil give you more damage than Fire
Second build:
- Here its bit worse with condi removeal. With so many elixirs – 409 is needed somewhere:-)
- rest is pretty solid.
I honestly think Elixir S vs Elixir R is a personal preference. Elixir R is insanely easy to counter imo especially as an engi with CC I do it all the time. I also think a gauranteed stomp is invaluable. I also took elixir H because I already have the elixir CD trait and I can get a beefy amount of protection if I get lucky. And so far I haven’t had any trouble with condi removal even with just lyssa + super elixir. I also took fire instead of battle because of the nature of the build, it’s a lot of aoe + cleave.
It’s good that you found this bug; just a suggestion, you might want to edit the top post to explain the exact problem: The proc-on-heal/elite effects of runes are applying while in a transformation that strips you of your normal utility skills. Video evidence seems to alert the development team the best ( as seen by their acknowledgement of the necro downed state health on after video documentation ).
You should have tried and explored the bug further. Then you would have realized that pressing your elite or the heal would have not given you any boons, as the Lyssa runes have an internal cool down for bonus #4 and #6.
I already know that? The point is that you don’t need to blow your elite to get the boons. And you don’t have to wait for your elite CD to get the lyssa boons. I think you missed the point of the exploit. The heal boon is only on 10 second CD, if you time elixir H + elixirS procced heal boon + the actual boon you get from elixir H + throw elixir H properly I just managed to stack up 64 seconds of protection. Not to mention with elixir S coming off CD AGAIN, elixir H coming off in 19 seconds and Elixir H coming off in 20 seconds.
30 (35 before i decided to take screenshot) second protection with throw elixir H / elixir H coming off CD for another lyssa proc + possible protection just off elixir H RNG
and elixir S coming off CD a little bit after the protection to proc another lyssa + heal boon.
Are you able to post a video of this? Can’t test currently myself, but no one else has mentioned anything about it so far. I’m finding it an unlikely scenario, since these type of abilities (heals and elites) seem based completely on the slot location usage of the ability, based on the other types of abilities that trigger on heal/ elite usage.
my upload speed it too crappy for me to upload a video. But you need to press your heal and elite button (any time during elixir S)
This ALSO works on self regulating defences. So essentially you are getting a random boon every 10 seconds and full lyssa proc every 48 seconds WITHOUT using your elite or heal.
Self regulating defences can proc it as well, elixir S procs both the heal boon and the elite boon for lyssa. So basically lyssa as often as possible when you need it WITHOUT blowing your heal / elite. (Manage to get 25 second stack of protection with this exploit, so if you’re insanely lucky you could potentially perma maintain protection through the first “boon burst” + actual heal + throw elixir h and repeat)
Edit: Elixir S itself doesn’t proc them, pressing your heal and elite button ANYTIME during elixir S or self regulating defences procs this. So you can come out of elixir S with all those boons without using your heal or elite.
Not sure I like this, to be honest. The Elixir Elite only adds to mobility at a 50% rate, otherwise you’ve wasted an elite when trying to escape/catch somebody (personally, I would be very happy with JUST the rampage form – I would run it all of the time with the elixir recharge rate).
Rifle 5 only helps gain a bit of distance, and the sustained DPS that an ele has will in no way be mimicked by an engineer. Their rotation of skills and the high base damage is what allows PVT builds to still put out great damage, while our skills rely moreso on specialization. I played a Clerics set a while back, and the damage is laughably poor. You may be able to run, but you won’t be able to do any more than itch the enemy.
One thing I strongly suggest, however, is video proof of this build’s viability. Good luck.
I hope you don’t take these words as harsh, I’ve played an Engineer and an Elementalist since release and am just trying to help with constructive criticism.

I made this build in the attempt to copy the self sustained dps ele in the current meta.
A lot of the traits can be switched up but this is how I like mine, if you want you can sacrifice some survivability by taking HGH, and taking might duration runes + battle sigil + juggernaut.
Both are great builds, great in 1v1s and in team fights.
