[[Request] Weapon swap during combat [Merged]]

I used to be against weapon swap for engi.


But let's face it kit are mostly bad. Not because piano build or whatever. Let's just take any Power build it always use the nade kit and you have no choice because you are lacking a weaponswap and therefore without a kit you'd lack filling in your rotation. Yet said kit brings nothing but damage 0 utility be it boon CC or mobility. So yeah i'd trade a nade kit for a weaponswap to either rifle or hammer everytime and even without the toolbet kit i'm pretty sure i wouldn't be losing any DPS and yet it would open a slot for another utility wich could give engi some adaptability in PVE encounter.

Engi's promise was a jack of all trade thanks to kit when compared to weaponswap at release. Nowaday it's the total opposite they bring no mobility no cc no boon and definitly doesn't give you a situational advantage on some encounter.


The medkit is a special case kinda since it's a healing spell and not a utility one.

[Is it time to give Engi a weapon swap?]

The only way i can see it without destroying the class identity is by transforming Kit to something similar to elem summoned weapon, but with a lower cd and no pickup consumable.


But then the biggest part of engi are sad one playing kitless build because they find gw2 too hard to handle

[[BUG] Heat Not Decreasing While Mounted]

 

[[BUG] Photonforge not cooling down]

Photon forge not cooling down while being on a mount no matter the time waited.

Also weird interaction if you mount up right before an overheat

While playing with enhanced capacity storage unit, mounting up will instantly reset Heat to 100/150

[Guys, we get stolen so much things by others class but why not conjures ?]

Yeah let's make conjure like kit but to make it balance let's remove Dagger as both mainhand and offhands. If it makes no sense because some build needs spe oriented MH/OH that's too bad that's the balance tradeoff for kit

[Guys, we get stolen so much things by others class but why not conjures ?]

I agree let's nerf kit and also remove the 2 damaging weapon engi can have it's too strong.

I wish kit had decent damage coeficient 

[PvE : Why core Engi is so bad ?]

I love how this thread was about PVE but illetrate people came to talk about pvp and wvw 🤣.

Condi core can definitly deal as much as condi holo on certain encounter, on a golem optimal rotation is definitly easier on condi core than holo. On a real fight holo is much more fluid to play but i wouldn't say easier

[No "kp" for CM fractals. Is that gonna increase toxicity?]

@Oldyoung.6109 said:KP was never a indicator of skill it was and always will be just a tool for people to be discriminatory.

It gives an estimate on someone’s potential skill with whatever awarded that particular KP.

and it could always be bought spoofed or carried for.

True but the likelihood of running into someone that does that is low.

i suppose my real question is; why are people acting like fractals have been deleted because a system of discriminating based skill was removed even though it was totally inaccurate?

People are not acting like fractals have been deleted, because what has been done is the same as removing the Anti-Cheat in any FPS game, discriminition toward cheater is fine in FPS, discrimination toward ruiner (because let's call a ruiner what it is) is also fine in fractal

Hitting MULTIPLE mobs is going to be way more useful than any fractional damage increases you get from non-AOE weapons and FT has such a good relation with Scrapper because of Juggernaut that it's almost worthless to consider anything else. Be assured, there is PLENTY to like about this build and if you aren't fighting multiple mobs and want better single target DPS, nothing prevents you from swapping to your hammer either.

You can also come with a full zerk build, send an auto of nades to tag, and afk in some safe spot, scaling event with 0 damage build just to "avoid dying" will actually hinder & kill other player who would have enjoy the content more without your presence

Sure, there are lots of things you can do ... I don't see what that has to do with what I'm talking about here. I never suggested AFKing in a safe spot with zero damage. It's not even possible to do that with FT Engi because of the medium range of the weapon. I mean ... if you got a point here, just say it. Don't dance around like people know what you are implying.

the point is here, what you advocate is the same as afking, period

[[UPDATED] Guild Wars 2 is Coming to Steam - [Merged]]

Good idea, with lags on so many maps i'm pretty sure GW2 will break records of bad review, + i'm curious how refund will be handled.This will definitly be a total shitstorm and i'm impatient to see it

[Your servers are getting laggy on more maps - [Merged]]

@"kharmin.7683" said:Sure that this has nothing to do with the entire world being locked up at home during a pandemic and that the internet infrastructure isn't currently able to handle the significantly increased load? Just a possibility, no?

Thunderlag peaks has been at it for at least February on EU server. Things got definitly worse when they "fixed" brandstorm last week, now you can realiably fail south meta because everyone is frozen for more than 60sec out of 90sec playing

From looking at how things are going Steam release might be the biggest mistake Anet ever made if the game is not finished/playable before it. It can even be worse because selling LS4 episode can be considered illegal in quite few european countries

[Really hoping to see the next elite spec for engie be a condi focused spec.]

Is really flamethrower a Pure Pdps kit tho ?In PVE it's only used in condi build.

About kits i find them mostly, badly design, let's take Scrapper heal, you'll take mortar only for his 5 skill, same for elixir gun.

[Coming back to GW2, have zero expansion, what should I focus on for now?]

engineer didn't change. Build wise Path of fire brings the holosmith (one new trait line + ability to use a mainhand sword and few abilities) wich is i'd say 90% of builds in pve

[Really hoping to see the next elite spec for engie be a condi focused spec.]

I won't agree or disagree, but i don't expect to see another build without at least 2 kits, so basically a new condi specs will be exactly the same than condi holo with 3 new mainhand spell.

[Thief or Engi]

There is no such thing as pistol engi, pistol means condi and a multi-kit build. So most of the time you'll be using your kit and not pistols.
