Barrage spam is awesome, it allows you to put a huge aoe on downed players that spams cripple so they can't get away.

it literally heals enemies in wvw, how are they this bad at designing engi.

only for engineers is an "update" to skills a way to make them worse in every conceivable way.

Who really gives a kitten if they nerfed pve monsters in a pvp game mode? They were never hard they were just annoying.

The only stance that's overly worthwhile to share is dolyak. It's an all around insanely powerful stance. The problem is that little allied duration thing. They get 50% of the BASE stance duration, which is, for the useful ones, 2 to 3 seconds. OWP can be.. okay. Bear stance share is largely irrelevant due to scrappers. Just go full pew pew. It's way more fun anyway.

I couldn't give up a valuable utility slot for FT. Hammer 2 + 4 + 5Chemical Field (toolbelt from purge gyro)Acid Bomb (Elixir Gun 4 - also great to use as a blast finisher inside your poison field for AoE weakness)Fumigate (Elixir Gun 3) Those seem to do the trick very nicely, and all but Chemical Field work well while pushing. Only a problem when you're under heavy pressure and can't afford to swap to another kit, but at the point, you shouldn't be worrying about tagging and should focusing on keeping your squad alive. Out of curiosity, does anyone know if other players whirl/projective combo off the Lightning Field from Bulwark, does the damage done count for you as well? Problem is i dont play Hammer.Pistol/Shield is my choice. And like i said above, FT only if the enemy zerg is faceroll anyway. Sure, you get lootbacks from tagging people but the difference between a dmg dealer and support is day and night. Answer to your question: Nope.Can't blame other people if you're using an inferior weapon choice.

You can't contact something that doesn't exist

It's hard to use in actual fights, but it's absolutely devastating against siege behind walls. That's the main reason I used the build before, but sometimes you gotta fight too.

„Dies to retaliation instantly“ rofl --- Dies instantly? oh hey, I've been knocked back... even lost a bit of health from retaliation.. but NEVER have I even come close to dying. Possibly because I know how to build my ranger... or more likely because retaliation isn't as nasty as most people say it is. if you are running dual longbows and barrage every 8 seconds, i can assure you that you most certainly will have an issue of dying from retaliation. you actually do pretty solid damage though if you aim them well, and throw cripple everywhere. And eat aegises. you gotta take what you can if you're playing a ranger. .. the cooldown applies to longbow regardless if you swap to the "other" one... so having two of them is the same as having only one and totally wastes a second weapon set slot.This is why you use skirmishing. With two longbows, using Quick Draw, you can swap and then barrage for only an 8 second cooldown. The more you know! For reference, see https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Quick_Draw

2x longbow marks/skirm/sb and rain barrages down everywhere. you'll be everyone's hero.

Oh, you mean like a Staff Ele can do with Meteor Shower while contributing more to a zerg fight? I don't know if you're just clueless or what, but a ranger can hit WAY, WAY more things than a meteor shower ever can.
