Engi is hillariously broken atm

[Ovark.2514]

There's not much to say. You can pretty much pick any holo, scrapper or maybe even core build out of a hat right now and it will crush basically every other build. Most of the issues lie in core engi: The daze/blind explosives trait, the free stomp/revive while invuln, the stealth, the obnoxious grenade tactic of turning  around mid throw (thanks vallun), the mortar and nade kit hitting through the terrain to cheese damage, the excessive amount of CC on an offhand weapon (much of which requires no target or skill to land, inc instant cast), the fact that you can win a match with auto-attack on flamethrower. The list goes on.. .

Been like that for a while, pulled that one off with P/P Core a few months ago, nobody would believe it but there it was.

rev, necro and engi are cockroaches that always come back broken no matter what, nothing new here.
At least port holo and nades holo are no longer so broken you can at least fight them properly now, its not too bad anymore

Yeah, now core engi is the problem

[SoftFootpaws.9134]

So basically your complaint is that Engineers can play the game after years of not being able to play the game. Maybe soon even Elementalists will get a chance to play the game, too.

Then why has a team that runs 3 engis repeatedly been knocked out of ATs?

Yes. The engie has gotten a handful of slow nerfs. Nades damage coefficient was lowered. Purity of purpose has a CD which kinda killed a certain build. The class itself has a higher skill floor, with the exception of the FT build. I've seen different variations of that recently. FT scrapper with turrets, FT scrapper with wells etc etc. 

 

I still believe Holo is far more superior to scrapper FT. 

[Pimsley.3681]

I play Holo sometimes but like the Weaver, I suffer from hand and finger fatigue after a few matches as I have small hands. 

[Genesis.5169]

Nothing wrong with engineer. Mesmer needs buffs tho.

[greedywholesome.9081]

Engie not broken pls stop. Yes I play it. 

 

While Im at it, sure, Buff mesmer. 

 

Mesmerize - was after Anton Mesmer for practicing hypnosis. In this game, that's the purpose of the clones. A cloneless elite, Virtuoso, technically isn't a "Mesmer" anymore. 

[BlackTruth.6813]

Hope the devs just revert the game back to pre-HoT 2015, engi wasn't even that bad after slick shoes nerf then. This class started becoming anti-fun because of the expansions/scrapper rework, engi used to require you to be good at skill shots but you know powercreep 2stonk so why not just play res bot/obnoxious builds

Wait until you run into a superspeed flamethrower scrapper. Its like a bug you cant get rid of.

lots of ways to counter it. Ranger, DH (since it's melee), Holo with superspeed, FA weaver, Mirage...

Position yourself behind the jet cone or just range it

I had face one in 2v2 at around 1600 mmr. Somehow it became 1v1 vs him. I was running around for 2 minutes, when antiheal appears - boom, he's dead. I was on core necro xD

If you have problems with flamethrower scrapper you are probably in gold and need to git gud

[KrHome.1920]

From what I heard, minions are overpowered. I mean the best GW2 players use them in tournaments to kill other best GW2 players. They did even drop revenant , which is remarkable as best players usually play revenant.

And since nades and flamethrower can kill minions effectively, they must be insanely overpowered.
