Re: GW2: Engineer Thread

Wait...You got to level 20 without rolling another alt?

There must have been multiple alt births/deaths since the engineer was born! She just gets splices of play in between, like all my other alts.

Tonight it will be a new guardian!

Edit: OK I will have to try that med kit again, yar it would be nice to not have to use speedy kits, but very convenience and 100% uptime.

Edit2: Oh I got the healing turret as well last night. Very very nice! Besides the fact it has a small radius, its cooldown is only 20 seconds and I like how it keeps healing me while I flame down mobs.

Yup, the first thing I got! I'm finding it a bit underwhelming though, takes a while to take down one mob. In big events though I can take it out and spray love and joy.

I'm mostly questing with dual pistols and grenades right nwo...

Same here. It's my favorite combination, although I do like the bomb kit for larger events too. Grenades rule underwater and do very well in WvWvW. I just can't warm up to the rifle. The duration between shots seems like forever. lol

I'm still using dual pistols for single target and flamethrower for AOE. I use grenades in WvW and underwater. I can see the utility in the shield, and think it looks cool, but don't really use it. The rifle is good for cheating at jumping puzzles (skill 5 ).

So how are you guys speccing? I maxed out vitality and put 10 points into toughness and I gotta tell you, it helps. I've seen world bosses 1 shot everyone in an area but me. The tradeoff is that every mob your level takes a while to whittle down damage wise because I've also maxed out DOTs.

Currently traitwie I have 5 in Explosives... 15 in firearms.... 5 in inventions and 10 in Alcemy...

My gear is precision/ condition damage based...

I am going to change my gear to vitality and toughness based.... and use that for dungeons....

High precision is great but you are a glass cannon.

Yeah it's hard to choose. I originally specced into explosives but traded it in for alchemy for the health pool. I have 30 in firearms, 10 in inventions and 30 in alchemy. I have 27,312 health and a crit chance at 49%.

That is a ton of health... what is your armor like. I have about 20k health but my crit rate is only 23%.

I have mostly vitality and toughness armor
