Guild Wars 2

They do quite well against chronobunker.

I think a 2 rev, scrapper, chronobunker and tempest/druid or reaper would do well against the 2rev, 2chrono tempest/druid comp. Reapers could also destroy rev once theyre in shiro

EU already plays a scrapper, because it puts good pressure on node with a variety of team support/cc/might stacking options. I think the standard EU comp is exactly what you suggested with tempest and not druid.

I’ve been playing scrapper in the league to good effect, class that gives me most problems is condi rev. Bunker mezs I can usually wear down although they probably aren’t very good.

Some core builds have higher skill caps yet less effective than the lower skill cap, high efficiency builds on expac elites.

Good examples are pre-June 23 shatter Mesmer vs chronobunker and rifle, 2kit engie vs scrapper.

Scrapper doesn’t get the attention chronobunkers and revenants get because it’s not as OP but it’s an advantage to have 1 in the comp.

Viper Rev eats all the boons while applying 12 stacks of confusion, torment, chill, burning and poison.

So yeah, Scrappers are very strong but Viper Revs can just dance circles around everything they got.

Scrapper is friggen good. While viper revs are more dangerous to chronos, scrapps can eat vipers and do a decent amount of damage to a chronobunk, and are in my opinion tankier. They’re very viable and I don’t know why they’re not in the accepted meta, it’s a high skill cap high reward spec. A scrapper in the right hands wins games. It’s like thief 2.0 with the drone stealth, mobility, ability to stomp, damage and control, and used right can swing team fights.

the reason they arnt more accepted, is because Majority of players who play it Suck, at the end of the day Engineer is a proffession which really does require alot of practice, and suddenly saying OOOOOoo Scrapper and Rerolling them will do nothing but lose so many games continously.

Engineer isnt a Proffession u can simply Swap too and perform with at any decent rate so people Avoid it, Chronomancers get so much use, because Mesmer has always been extremely over hyped everytime it comes into meta in all honesty, yet its still alot of the time the mesmer outright sucks… but its still not as much of a Hinderence as a bad Scrapper, Mesmers currently can Bunker and it isnt at all difficult to do due to lack of options, Chronobunker, u can hit whatever u want because ur using them purely for the Healing and not Damage and cause the Mesmers designed to kill things… Its very basic to use them in any other way.

I cant play a Engineer for the life of me, i’ll openly admit that, but then again, im not great at mesmers either, it was my first ever 80 and it was Before all the changes happened that i did (not by far though in all honesty) but tbh my Necromancer and Elementalist have seen alot more of my time, although i am enjoying chronomancer c:

Reapers destroy rev once they are in Malyx,i can strip 12-13 boons in very short time,very short.
You wait for rev to get all that condi and resistance thinking he is safe and than you strtip him naked,if you can get good and squize in epidemic you wipe whole node prety fast,with condies revenat hoarded on him self .
You cant pull this alone tho,you need tempest or chrono to guard you(stability shock /magnetic aura and quckness serve best) .
Well placed wells necro /chrono 0F,can do this alone so you dont even have to build for it,just minor adjustment
I seriously dont understand why all this rev hype.

Imho its all big marketing plan on promoting HoT by ESL teams..

Yeah Scrappers aren’t considered as “prestigious” as heralds and chronobunkers. I enjoy playing one because it’s the most well-rounded and reliable. It offers good support, good pressure, good sustainability without feeling unfairly over powered.

I love to play engineer/scrapper .

Its the most versatile and interesting class for me. Playing with grenades nevertheless cause i find them still useable and fun.

That actually sounds like an intelligent comp
