I been maining engineer on different accounts. I used to play guild wars 2 when queens dale champion trains were a thing and we had to buy trait books at 1g /5g /10g. I seen engineer get nerfed hundreds of times. It doesn't feel good when a company doesn't try to communicate with you about what they think (or programmer design / intent / supposed to be) when it comes to engineer. Engineer is very under powered. In all game modes. We generally require the most hands on rotations and skills / reflexes and knowledge requirements - and we perform fairly "average" compared to other specs and professions. I play engineer because i feel drawn to it - subconsciously - and i enjoy it. Granted engineer has a good chunk of useless skills (so does everyother profession ) but i think engineer is literally the worst profession in the game since PoF released. My biggest problem with engineer is that it takes more work and more effort to deal decent damage / heal better / tank better / = just be better in combat - than other professions. But that's mostly a pvp problems not a pve problem. Engineer has no aegis, resistance, very little stability, very little quickness, huge cast times, mediocre power and condi damage, We have no unique mechanic and super speed is given out to other professions , we are not very tanky even with toughness and vitality, and if we go full berserker or condi build - are damage is not as good as say - a warrior or necro or a thief. Engineer is just a solo player mess and i think holosmith is actually the strongest spec / build right now currently. Scrapper is ok...decent team work ...but as i played scrapper - i could never be a roamer (even in zerk gear) like a thief or a mesmer. I am sure engineer is quite strong in spvp and 1v1s and for pve they should be able to do competitive damage - so there's that going for them. But engineer is very painful to play as when you look at your traits and they don't feel rewarding or powerful and you can't do much "outplays". I do remember celestial power rifle and OP turrest and chemical healing bombs. Engineer had their broken moments. OH yea scrapper in HOT so tanky and powerful. Yea good times i miss those times.
