I was fighting 3 guys and i used my healing elixir and even with the heal i dropped from half orb to down state. Why is this possible ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony.7260 Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 I can tank damage normally just fine. I am in marauder gear with a rifle and berserker back piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Churning earth is an Ele offhand dagger skill which has been around since core. It's cast time is long (2 seconds I believe) If you are maurauders with zerker back, you are lucky it only hit you for 8k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shagwell.1349 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Engineer complaining over a full zerker build ele? I've seen much but this is special. I got hit from a holosmith for around 18k from stealth today. So, I find it a bit weird, when you complain to be hit from a most likely full zerker elementalist (which dies in two autohits from almost everything) which casted a skill that enforces him to stand still for 2 seconds.

primatos.5413 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 2 scnd cast time 30 scd cd .. if used with blink then range 900 @ 360 radius .. if ele "ducks" get ready 2 dodge .. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa, chill out. Give the guy a break he's only rank 83, he probably hasn't seen a lot of the absurd numbers people can get in WvW yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meurto.8520 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Like most attacks, once you learn the animation you will know when to dodge or pop an invuln. I know wvw can get a bit hectic, especially when you are fighting more than a couple of other players. This video shows you what the animation looks like.

I've recorded 19k hits on this baby... and it's NOT what you would consider full zerk.. more like full zerk plus lots of health... if you stumble you die... then again, I'm not young so I usually stumble and die but when the combo is right.. BAM! anyway, I digress... bottom line is as has been said above... the person is new, give him a break ... then send him to me. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal.1670 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Wait what, 8k is nothing. Have you never run into a thief before?? Also, the GW2 wiki is your friend, super helpful should check it out :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threather.9354 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Normal engi isnt good enough for current meta. Holosmith is just upgrade in every way. Check metabattle.com engineer PvP builds for possible builds to start with. Testing enemy classes in PvP helps also. You are missing the **ELITE** Specialization so it isn't a surprise you feel pretty weak... Anyways there are some super good foods, super good runes/sigils and gear stats etc... It takes a while to get used to it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor.6392 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Of all the things to complain about... you choose one of the most telegraphed and inferior abilities in the game lol. I can name at least 30 different abilities that can do over 8k damage upfront in wvw while also being 200x easier to land, with no channels, lower cooldown and sometimes even ranged! Let's start: * Eviscerate * Plasma Beam * True Shot * Death's Judgment * Backstab * Phoenix * Dragon's Tooth * Maul * Test of Faith * Dragon's Maw * Holo Leap * Prime Light Beam * Jump Shot * Blunderbuss * Kill Shot * Gun Flame * Shield of Wrath * Fire Grab * Piledriver * Three Round Burst * Larcenous Strike * Worldly Impact * Decapitate * Arc Divider * Arcing Slice * Executioner's Scythe * Ghastly Claws * Vault * Pistol Whip * Surge of the Mists * Coalescence of Ruin * Mirror Blade ...I could keep going you know?

DeadlySynz.3471 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I'm just guessing here but I always thought churning earth was the highest damage base skill in the game. Given it's long cast time and obvious build up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
