Guild Wars 2

I’ve been gone for a good long while from the game, but am coming back and want to setup my engineer the way I always wanted to (but was kitten back when I left).

I love having my little Asura Engineer running around dropping bombs and throwing grenades at everything – just feels right. Could someone please link me a good, current build to get started with? Some added survivability would be nice too.

Thanks!

Start here. I left some blanks and made it a basic exotic set as opposed to ascended.

This is basically what i am using. I am also use berserker armor, but that make sit full glass cannon, which I do ok with and do run fractals. Knight’s armor would take a hit on damage, but would still keep up your crit chance to proc all those “x on crit” things engineers can do. Personally, I would like to see Precision with Power/Toughness as a set, but that doesnt exist in game.

for the trait blanks,

Explosives 2 can either go to forceful explosives or shrapnel. I go with shrapnel because it goes very well with Firearms 5 for extra damage on bleeding foes.

Explosives 4 can be Incendiary powder, explosive powder, or short fuse. Each has their merits, but remember with the flame legion runes (very cheap) that I put in, you get 7% bonus damage to burning foes plus firearms 6 gives 2% bonus damage per condition.

Firearm 4 can be rifle mod (if you use a rifle and spend some time in that), juggernaut (zerg event farming like orr), or precise sights (dungeon content)

That looks beautiful! Thank you!

No problem….also dont neglect this post https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/engineer/The-Engineer-Handbook
