Langeball.9351 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I've seen thumpy used at times. Stunbreak and CC, it's okay I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gendalfs.7521 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 When they exported their database to excel sheet they probably saw a lot of engie turret use. How they could know 90% of users where afk farmers.... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tofu.1865 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Bomb kit so underused that ArenaNet forgot that it exists and buffed Nades instead lmao 5 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaruselka.5943 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Bomb kit is a joke: I have rarely seen it used in WvW. I use it in a limited fashion to blast fury for taking down champs and thats it. Bomb kit is slow, it looks stupid and it leaves you open to attack. It needs to be replaced with something more useful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perceptor.7189 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Wow, so far, not a single post from a PvP player trying to justyfing how useful are those skills in they current state in pvp and how they used like 3 times in unranked for winning. But yeah, it's a long road ahead. I'm particularly sad that thumper turren haven't gotten a single cd reduction in PvE. That turret by its own can solve the mayor complaint of quickness scrapper, since it's 3 blast finisher in one single skill, and make the role more simple to use. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H K.4057 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I use AED in my WvW gadget holo build because it lets me dive into zergs to secure kills, and also baits other roamers into over-extending. Definitely not the "best" choice for 1v1s, but then again solo roaming in WvW isn't really about 1v1s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxez.7361 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Never considered Bomb Kit or Sneak Gyro underused since I use them a lot, but then again I never touch WvW or PvP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh?? are you the majority now? Bomb kit got 3k lower DPS than Grenade kit which is Ranged and not clunky. Edited June 4 by Tofu.1865 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomboed.5697 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Bomb Kit should be replaced with Rocket Launcher kit, a non-groundtarget 1200 range weapon kit. Something akin to longbows of other classes. Something impactful. Something useful. Something that looks and plays fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calen.8945 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 (edited) Is Hard Light Arena really not used that much? I use it all the time on Holo. It's a good source of furry. Edited June 5 by Calen.8945 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenwulfe.5360 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Why does this list just not say anything not grenade kit and mechanist signets? That's basically how it boils down to at this point. Some of the scrapper gyros get used but grenade kit, mortar launcher, and a couple of fillers and that's it it's pretty universal across most specs for engineer.

Tofu.1865 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) Rocket Boots too, its kinda useless in both PvE and PvP Gadgeteer, who df uses this? Suggested Change: Rocket Distance from 900 - 1200 Edited June 8 by Tofu.1865 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Philips.3824 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 AED is very popular in instanced PvE. Hard Light Arena is great for open world. If players aren't running it, it's because they'd rather have more damage than sustain, in which case buffing it won't make it more popular. Sneak Gyro is very popular in PvP, but the ~20 seconds you get with it in open world is more than enough, I doubt extending it will make it more popular.   1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEGEZZ.7563 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) i use thumper and net turrets a lot in wvw. Rocket turret is sometimes useful to stack up a bit more dps. Also all turrets get useful with experimental turrets trait. even in pvp a double launch from thumper turret usually helps a lot in combat. i agree bomb kit makes little sense. Placing bombs on yourself and being in the middle of the explosion when it sets off feels kinda dumb. I like the big ol' bomb though Edited June 8 by GEGEZZ.7563 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEGEZZ.7563 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) rocket boots is the auto include skill for me in pvp and wvw. I'm afraid we disagree on it. Against players mobility and positioning is of utmost importance. I think you can't imagine how much you can do with 2 boots charges in combat Edited June 8 by GEGEZZ.7563 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEGEZZ.7563 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 elixir R is also very useful in wvw. Getting 2 extra dodges can often make the difference between life and death, just like the rocket boots. I guess you guys charge and yolo am i wrong 😉 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEGEZZ.7563 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) hard light arena is super powerful with the inventions and alchemy traits. You can remove 60 conditions from allies and even turn them into boons. Haven't played with it for a while but i guess it still works. You guys should read skills more, no offense intended 😉  anticorrosion plating + purity of purpose protection being applied every 1 second for 12 seconds to 5 players each time. 12*5= 60 conditions turned into boons on allies.  I wouldn't say that's weak tbh it's the best condition remover ingame if you build it this way, just needs to use your toon accordingly. Some regular skill interactions make it strong. I played with it some years ago in wvw with good results when i was holo.  underused ? Maybe people follow meta and no meta guy thought about it idk. People should spend time reading skills. Edited June 8 by GEGEZZ.7563 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People thought about this combo way way back already lol, why we dont use it?? cuz its hella useless on WvW already since u get permanent uptime of boons and condi cleanses in a blob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are in a situation where you need two dodges you don't have time to cast the skill. Remember that Engineer utility slots are very competitive and Elixir R isn't a stunbreak or a kit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
