Guild Wars 2

Hi all,
Part of the question is in the title.
is grenade kit still viable for a glasscanon enineer ?
I would like to know if grenade kit is still good for making damage after the 30% reduction in damage.

What build you r using on ur dps/dd engineer ?
is bomb kit good ?

thanks in advance

Hi all,
the complete question is in the title.
I would like to know how Superior sigil that you put on rifle for example works if u equip a kit (like grenade kits).

I heard that recently, some changes happened. So I would like to know if superior sigil still works when u equip a kit on engineer.

thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi all,
I am completely lost with the damage and attack calculation on my character.

How does the shield weapon strength taken into consideration into your global attack ?

weapon strength for a pistol + shield is higher than the weapon strength of a rifle alone.
even though, my attack with rifle is higher than when I equip pistol + shield.

I am missing something in the calculations … hope someone can clarify it for me.
thank you in advance

thanks for your quick reply Shivenis
good to know it’s just a display problem

Hi all,
as the title says, I want to know if the passive “increase tool belt recharge rate” is bugged.

is it just the display that is bugged not showing the modified cooldown ? or it is not working on all tool belt skills ?

Will appreciate your feedbacks.
thanks in advance

ok thanks all for your replies and suggestions.

well I think I didn’t explained myself clearly. Mercury got it more when I was asking for
I don’t want any automatic action to be taken or skills to be used.

I just want the back-lights of my keyboards to change depending on how much HP I have. More or else, it is like when u start to see red all around your screen when you HP gets really low.

It was possible in other games I played without the need to install any addon or use any macro. So will really appreciate to see someone from ANET answering this question.

thanks in advance

Hi community,
I have an alienware laptop and I am wondering if, in GW2, it is possible to change the keyboard color with the health of my character ?

if yes, can you give all the details needed to do it.
thank you in advance,

can you link your build please Halcyon ?
thanks in advance

Hi all,
thanks a lot for all you advices and tips. OK engineer is squishy at start, gets better later

@Raf: I always keep on moving, but my main problem comes from long ranged mobs. thanks a lot for the build you linked. I will try it
@Kirin: thanks a lot for explaining you leveling technique.
what do u mean by " Engineer is not a low APM class. "
Indeed, the description of Thumper Turret doesn’t show that it does a good job. Will give it a try

@Lego: thanks also for your tips. Thumper turret seems really worth trying

Do you mean Slick Shoes when you are talking about speedy kits ?

I still have few question concerning some skills:
Flamethrower kit: 1st skill of it is bugged? Most of the time I get misses when I use it while moving.
Bomb kit: I have the feeling that I wasted 3 TPs for a useless kit. Maybe I am using it wrong It seems you drop the bombs only where you are standing …

Thanks Dust,
This is indeed one nice video of a PVP engineer.
I am really curious to know what stats he’s using.

Hi Syrio, sorry was typing my reply when you posted yours.
Well indeed this is what I am trying to do. My problem comes mainly from long rang mobs (elem and ranger). If you keep running in circle they will end up hitting you because you ran out of endurance and can’t dodge anymore. Sometimes I think it will be better for those ranged mobs to be aggressive and go closer to them.
Much easier for melee mobs.

Thanks a lot Flaunz and Crisvok for your tips and suggestions.
So I will deactivate fast-ground targeting.

Still have few more questions concerning Flaunz post:
so you prefer grenade kit than bomb kit ?

I think I understood what you meant by thee kiting in circle thing. will try autorun tonight to see how it goes.

and you didn’t reply to my question, about stats ?
I was thinking of going for power/though/vit. If I have a good memory this set exist from AC tears.
Well I was going for toughness and vitality, because was feeling squishy. But at lvl 80, maybe it won’t be a good choice. What do you think about that ?

Hi all,
I started a new engineer character. Well it’s still only lvl 15 and I already died more than I died on my first character (which is mesmer) in 80 lvls.
Is engineer squishy ?
I was wondering if it will get better when I level up more ?
what bonus stats I should use on it ? On my mesmer I have power/prec/%dmg build.
Wondering what will it the best build for engineer ?

I have also a problem with the Fast-ground targeting option. I activated it because it’s faster for some kits to use the skills. BUT I have a small problem with it ? How do I know If I am in range to use those skills If i hide the circle on the ground ?

All your remarks, tips, suggestions, etc … to improve my engineer playing experience are welcome.
thank you in advance

thanks a lot.
I found it in options as you said. Needs to check Autoloot.

Hi all,
In many GW2 videos I watched, some players had on the right side of their screen the loot they got. It’s like a log that shows up to 2 items they got/looted and stays on screen for few seconds
Is there a way to activate this option ?
Is it still implemented in the game ?

Any help about this will be appreciate it.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I am new to mesmer and I have a question concerning condition damage and critical damage.
I am wondering which one is better.
I am trying to equip myself with items that have power, precision and about the last bonus, dunno If I should go for condition damage or critical damage.

all your suggestions, experience in this field is welcome.
thanks in advance

Ramelie.6950:

Thank you Arenanet for a great gaming weekend topped by a great time at the last event last night (for me in the UK). It was so much fun to play with so many other players all rushing around trying to help each other and complete the event. Even if you died that was always someone to ressurect you almost instantly. Certainly there was a lot of friendly appreciative chat after the ancient Karka was defeated.

I hope that Arenanet realise that 95% of the people had a great time it is just the 5% moaners that dominate the forums.

Thanks very much

Ramélie

LOL that’s one selfish player who succeeded to not crash and finish the event and get the rewards.
Please only 4-5 people are posting here and happy with that, you have to see the other posts where hundreds of people are complaining.
and also there is a difference between moaning and complaining so let’s use the correct term.

and this game is not only about you, it’s about all the community that plays it

mack.1574:

I tried to battle on through the hideous lag .. but in the end I went to watch a film because the game was unplayable.

This whole weekend was a total disappointment as far as I’m concerned.

same as Mack,
It was the worst week-end ever. I never experienced such lag in any other MMOs.
You better not run any event if your servers can NOT handle it. It’s really disappointing to participate in the event for hours and not get anything at the end and wasting a lot of money on repairs !

and Running such big event with Free trial week-end … Not sure it was a smart idea.

Well it’s really starting to annoy me.
Getting more and more lag spikes ! Making this game impossible to play (10seconds waiting between one skill and another).
This lag started for me this week-end … dunno if it is linked to that Free trial week-end or a certain patch … All I know is PLEASE Fix it !
If your servers are not powerful enough to make trial … just don’t it !

thanks !
