Backpack’s build

http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fdAQFAUlUUpEr1XxkLseNCbBNyx0GRuxq85IEgkC-TJBHwAAuAAGeAAd2fAZ

not gonna go into detail about the game or engi…. just a few quick tips/thingys about the build
-Throw wrench(toolbelt skill) scales LoS really well so if u throw down a cliff it will follow the ground and hit ur target and does 2-3k damage on crit (hits on throw and return so like 5k)
-Intellegence sig is used because crit chance is so low and no fury access… all ur rifle skills and nades hit 3k with crits (1k per nade)
-Only shrapnel and chill nades do much damage (but with celes ur condi damage is high)
-Grendade barrage is much more accurate when right next to the person (good for pulling them into it)
-Almost all of ur skills are AoE so good for cleave
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
-immobing for nades (rifle 2) and ccing for nades (

idiot, u forgot like the whole thing
…..
-immobing for nades (rifle 2) and ccing for nades (rifle 4) is an easy way to land them
-pry bar will hit 5k crits so pull into pry bar is good damage/good to remove players positioning in teamfights
-Chill nades are essential to help land the rest of nades (easy to land when they move 66% slower)
Combos
-u can kb with rifle 4, throw wrench and then immob (rifle 2) before they get up(do it fast), then with immob u can land a chill/shrapnel nade for damage
-u can stealth (toss elixer S), pull, prybar, and then shrapnel/chill nade before they get up
-For cleave get poisen down first then other nades, rifle 5 and rifle 3 are all very good cleave
Tips vs certain professions
Ele-now that ele is meta, most newish players have no idea how to fight one… land ur condis(specially confusion) after they go into water…. Another thing players dont realize is that earth 2 (the spikes come up from ground) is an invis projectile absorber for a few seconds after cast (will eat nades and rifle 2/4.. rifle 3/5 still hit)… Celestial d/d eles IE meta ele.. DOES NOT get most of its damage from power.. vs engis it is the burn bc of our bad condi removal…. u will die to burn so DODGE fire 2 and dont walk in and out of ring of fire
Ranger- Try ur best to get burn on right after passive removal (hard to control crits) but doable.. the first cc will be immune (most run trait) so just be aware… also… dont eat throw torch
Warrior-Maintain distance with CC/immob/chill, obv dodge earthshaker/evis/pindown/arcing… try and get ur poisen nade in after a longbow clear
Other Engi-be better
Mesmer-Auto attacks and most of ur skills will wreck glass mesmers, dodge or block shatters/phantasms
Guardian-l2 bunkerbust
Necro-CC, dont let them transfer so Rando dodge…still dumb matchup
Thief- most of ur skills wreck them, so spam spam spam….

Individual SKills (all damage #s are crits)
-Rifle 1-UR auto attack no longer sucks(pistol) u hit 1.5k crit autos
Rifle 2-good immob for nades
Rifle 3-LoS, bleeds and high damage
Rifle 4-CC, 2k crits/ land nades
Rifle 5-High damge 2k jump/4k land

Toolkit-Grenade barrage-high damage
Healing mist +jump shot1.3k heal
Throw wrench-high damage/scales LoS
Toss Elixer S-Stealth for offense/stop stomps/stomp (u can use it when u go down, but u do drop mines at 25% so they might reveal u/ YOUR dodges drop bombs that will reveal u so be careful when u dodge right before or during stealth)

healing turret-try to pick up(more heal/removal)
Nades-Shrapnel-High damage both physical and condi
Blind-low damage/good utility
Chill-Chill/High damage
-Poisen-Cleave/High poisen/applys burn/unblockable

Toolkit
2-helps land nades
3- high physical/condi damage
4-Block Low CD (16s)
5-Pull, easy to see, most will dodge, glitches alot, will go through blocks, long range, good when stealthed

S-Avoid damage spikes/Stomp/Res

Crate-EZ

Any questions ask below

If Backpack was banned, how is he posting right now?…

Regardless, the matchup-related info in his thread is actually very useful and new players should read it. Good info all around.

Also, I assume the amulet is Berseker?

Guessing celestial amulet.

obviously he is running magi ammi with monk runes. That way he all that team healing and crit chance.
