> To be able to be a viable part of the WvW community as an engineer be awesome. But outside of roaming they arn't engineered for much viable support. Most kits seem to be undertuned from years back and outdated technology, In WvW I consider an Engineer to be the lowest threat. The "Yolosmith" is to much a vulnerable target, easy to kill the only defense they really have is fleeing, rocket-boots FTW. Low defense, lack of sustainability, lack of range, they are the perfect bag dispenser.
> My desire, for all the somewhat negative comments I just listed to be non-existant. To be a class that people want to be in their group and not hear or have to say the phrase, ok swapping over to class "X" so we have something that's viable. because people who play engineers really like engineers, but play other classes because simply, the engineer is basically a glittery toy now. I'm not going to complain about their damage,.................................... but dead dps is no dps.
I agree with the Holomancer being of no use to the blob, but it's a terrific roamer. Only class that troubles me is dead eye with their infinite stealth and their elite that removes revealed (but that's normal in wvw)..... still I guess it is a matter of skill :)
Lack of defense and sutainability is kinda laughable as you have a lot of water fields and blasts, leaps, and elixir c alone is enough to deal with condis also sword + shield is the way to go (no rocket boots for me). Only thing I haven't been able to chase is thief, they disengage and reset, but so will I....
