Guild Wars 2

Hey everybody!

I really got into dungeon soloing because I am looking for some hardcore content. With this I do recuire some help. As most people play Thief or Warrior in solo’s, I tend to play engi (Since its my main). However I can’t find any proper video’s that show an example of how to do it. Can any1 give me tips or link some video’s?

Thx!

I solo a lot and I usually do these 3 daily because they are relatively easy so I think they would be a good place to start.

I just posted a thread for AC Story, mainly looking for advice to make it faster, but you can see how I do the run. Its a good one to start because completing it is easy. Completing it quickly without deaths is not as easy so its one of those “easy to learn, hard to master” deals.

Basically there are 4 major things to engi soloing:
-Blasting smoke bomb for skips.
-Throwing nades at max range while wobbling back and forth to avoid non-tracking projectiles.
-Kiting with immob/cripple.
-Stacking enough might for your burst skills to take out a group fast enough before you get killed if you can’t kite.

Hmm the stealth was no problem for me. I guess I should also get some better sigils (battle/energy) and stack might more often.

Thanks for the reply!

Battle is getting a pretty big nerf here soon, not sure if it’s still the best option. Thinking strength might be better off? not sure.

You very rarely need energy sigil on engie since you have perma-Vigor and an on demand low cool down channeled block with Tool Kit.

You have two directions you can go, direct damage or condi with engie solos. I would personally recommend direct damage since your gear will be more applicable to group stuff you do.

You can watch Dub’s Engineer lupicus record. Granted he is using condition damage build but the skills and rotations would be similar even if he was using direct damage. This will give you a good idea of how the engineer doesn’t really need energy sigil.

I would recommend Rifle for direct damage with Strength Runes and Sigil of Strength and Sigil of Force for solo dungeons.

Oh cool never seen this video! It is true about the energy I guess. I should get some better gear for direct damage. Also stacking more then. I am also getting stuck with my fury up time. Wait no fury! I dont even have it in the builds I use. Should maybe rune of rage or pack be a better option than strength?

Edit: hidden flask trait is my only access to fury

You don’t need Fury. Assassins armor + weapons and 6 in Firearms will give you decent crit chance.

I think this is not really an option for me (about the assasins stats) since I recently got my full set berserker ascended. I could swap my rifle to assasins tho since it is predator.

Could always go Ranger runes + Mini for a similar effect, though only 7% damage but it is at any health level as long as you have your mini up.

Can just use ascended accessories (from Arah and CM dungeoneer collection) and an assassin weapon along with full berserker armour.
