so I cant see what the passive effects are for facet of nature...also the bolster fortifications loss is really annoying since it had great synergy with ventari.

noty. I would want shroud cd reduction available to core. my top 3 are:revert plaguebuff dagger auto dmgoverhaul core shroud

reduce cd on earth + water staff skills 3-5put some fury back in arcane (relying on getting hit isn't a viable strategy)buff rock solid to 2 stacks at 4 seconds 360 radiuschange the boon on tempestuous aria from might to quickness for 2 secondsbuff the traits inscription and blinding ashesreduce scepter aa cast time

I don't care for fighting dragons. theyre too one dimensional. I would rather they have an indirect role.

I want a reliable offhand dps option.

Dude there is no such thing as low elves it's more like dark/night/void elves... but maybe ANet can create something new and call them low elves lol. nah man. all high elves are good for is looking down on everyone else. theyre no where to be found when theres real work to be done. thats when the low elves come in and do what needs doing..#lowelvesunite

so who would the low elves be...anyway high elves sound like snobs so lets keep them away, unless we can beat them up.

whatever, if people wanna do easy mode to practice with little to no rewards then who cares.and if people wanna do hard mode with increased rewards, who cares.

agreed. expertise doesnt have as much impact in pvp as wvw, but classes that can keep 100% soft cc uptime soon gain a pretty huge advantage.

What I meant to say is that in order to play Condi Engi, you need to invest in Explosions. So, if you link Incendiary Powder with Explosions, it will forces even more the use of Grenades. Also, it will forces people to take both Firearms and Explosives trait line, which is what's happening right now if you want to play Condi Bleed Grenades with 25 Might. You cannot play Shrapnel without : Grenadier, Aim-Assisted Rocket, Sanguine Array, Thermal Vision and Incendiary Powder. It's a huge investment. That's why Condi Engi with Grenades is difficult to make it work (PvP, WvW), because you need to invest heavily on 2 offensive traits line. Then, Grenades/Mortar aren't that awesome. They are harder to aim than any weapons and are a hit and miss when it comes to landing a hit. The less we link stuffs with Explosions, Grenades, Bleed and Shrapnel, the best it is. for pvp/ wvw you dont need grenades or the explosives traitline if you use holo aa with that crystal config:storm master trait.as for non holo builds, with the incendiary rework you dont think nades would be possible without explosives traitline? is shrapnel so important that it would still be mandatory with the IP rework? alright well youve made some good points. is engi better off without the rework? if condi engi is going into firearms anyways, and the rework is an improvement, is that so bad? i mean i get what youre saying about mandatory traits, but lol, pretty much every build has that sort of rigidity. seems to me youre asking for leeway that doesnt exist when it comes to making a good build.

I really don't want to use grenade kit even more than I already do... the carpal tunnel... lol I hear ya. would this mean even more AA spamming in pve? For condi builds, it absolutely would. Shrapnel is already quite powerful for condi builds, so it's the recommended autoattack for condi engi. The change you recommended would reinforce that.well idk man. sounds bad. Meanwhile, underwater grenade kit AA can be automatic. too many traits related to explosions? outside of the explosions trait line, i think there is only one trait related to splodeys and thats bunker down. two in holo, but PBM has such a long cool down its hard to count it. any way, none of that is relevant imo. so what? splodeys are awesome.

I really don't want to use grenade kit even more than I already do... the carpal tunnel... lol I hear ya. would this mean even more AA spamming in pve? seems like the rotation wouldnt change too much. for pvp you could always lock aoe to target option in settings and put AA on mouse 1 or something.

So I was thinking about how to possibly improve core engi and I came to the conclusion that not only can this improve them, but possibly make holo condi (with crystal configuration: storm) more of a thing. possibly... any way heres the change. Incendiary Powder: 33% chance for explosions to apply 2 seconds of burning. I dunno how this would effect PvE, but for PvP and WvW I believe it would be a great change. We might even see some more kit builds runnin around! Who knows.

https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Enraged_Smashi always liked this skill for warrior even though it wasnt that good. it would be really cool and i believe beneficial if more skills were brought into the game that had prerequisites and down sides.https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Savage_Shoti miss the old pvp ranger whose job it was to interrupt skills and shut down some builds.https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Grenth%27s_Balancehttps://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Wail_of_Doomthese were truly unique skills for necro. not used very often, but their potential was to be huge table turners.https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Wastrel%27s_Worryhttps://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Power_Spikethe og mesmer pressure skills.https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/%22Fall_Back!%22_(PvP)classic paragon skill. would be cool to see a return of spears to gw2, and a revamped paragon as well.

cuz we can finally officially be part of the hammer train meta.anyone not using hammer not allowed.

ye seems clunk

i think this is classic trollnet. they will probably let you guys freak out for a few weeks before reworking/releasing some events with a heftier swim speed infusion reward.

plus one/15pluses

solo roaming is pretty much out of the question, unless you play some face roll build or spam ranged. you can be effective with a good build and a good team. I use battleping. I haven't had any problems with it or anet yet, and it makes my connection 10x better. its free to try and I definitely recommend trying it out.

I see. Thanks all.

This was a very nice feature that we had on the old forums. Also, it was cool to have photos show up instead of a link.

scepter is still bis for pve dps (right?) and its 2nd to none at proccing permeating wrathas for this atmosphere thing, if it does good things I tend to overlook it

lol...how about, you know... addressing the cause of the problem? damage multipliers (both on weapon skills and traits/runes/sigils stacking).

ill never understand this pov...engi has everything. if you cant make engi work youre not trying hard enough.

power Mesmer burst is a bit over the top, but it seems to me that condi Mesmer got a bit more burst with confusion since they upped the stacks while lessening the duration. I think it will still be strong. maybe power Mesmer is viable now too? hard to say.
