Guild Wars 2

Hello guys,

SO a bit of a quick backstory, you all remember in PvP (S1 or 2, i cannot remember) when bunker meta was a thing and ppl complained no one could win? I created a build that not only could take them down, but even in a 2v1 and still cap the point.,, it was called by my enemies the Bunker Busting Butthead.

After the meta died and DPS came back, it was still very effective, until ANet made 1 small nerf that made it useless (RIP) so I have been trying to find a build that would help me love my scrapper again so I have been using P/P vanilla build but it wasn’t doing it.

I tried a few builds (Rifle and hammer) and I hate how clunky rifle is. After playing with stats, I came to this. It can take hits, it can dish hits, and it still weak af against condi necros lol but idc (my last one was weak vs them as well so Im used to it)

Let me know what you think. There is 1 utility that can be swapped out for anything based on needs.

The stats im pretty set on and the might stacking is dangerous. Food im not 100% convinced about but hammer needs to stay. The only other heal I like is the gyro (turret is out of the question due to my playstyle).

Any constructive criticism is appreciated. I WANT TO LOVE MY SCRAPPER AGAIN (even tho it wont be as much as before, im ok with that…RIP BBB)

it looks alright, ferocity seems a bit low but engi is pretty tanky so you might be able to win those longer fights.

I did look at the fero as I thought it was a bit as well, however my logic was the might stacking will help make up for it. I could also technically use the fero stacking sigil as well instead of Power if it doesnt work out, or I could use Plate of Roasted Cactus (+100 fero/33% chance might on crit).

Thanks for giving your input

Aside from stats, that is the exact build I have played since scrapper was released with a minor tweak. Inversion Enzyme instead of Self Regulating Defenses. I use Elixir gun instead of bulwark for the extra condi clear and might stacking. I will swap in bulwark for Elixir S when fighting ranger’s or pistol thieves.

I use Bowl of Nopalitos Sauté for food.

My BBB build (my greatest thoerycrafted build) was mostly gyros. My previous vanilla build was mostly elixirs. When I had my scrapper build, Stats were somewhat similar (Used knights armor, marauder trinkets and zerk hammer). Healing I am between elixir and gyro (that hammer leap through the mobile water field is awesome…good damage and good heal).

As mentioned, im not set on the food so I am always looking for something different (I think I used to use omnom pies/ghost and tried mango pie (the regen was good))

Oh you’re definetly gonna love scrapper in that build, lol…

Zero ranged means you’re utterly useless in zerging and far too easily kited when roaming/small scaling against any decent ranged build. Sure some targets you’ll be a good fit against (basicly, anything that cant evade well from melee range) but with the vast majority of melee heavy builds either being immortal warriors, hit-and-run thieves or roflstomp look-mom-I-can-stack-40-bleeds condi necros you’re in for a fun time.

I would swap that B for the elixir gun and get some ranged when one cant go in close, plus better facetanking with super elixir, alternativly toolkit to get the pull and block.

I appreciate your input. When I mained scrapper before, ranged classes were ez…minus staff on Druid. I also ran Elixir U instead of B so I had a couple projectile blocks/reflects so had no trouble closing the gap to get melee range (I used to love P/P DD’s kill themselves spamming “Unload” lol.)

I also tried something similar with the Blast Gyro and it worked wonders vs ranged classes (toss it, then start closing the gap as they are focused on dodging the gyro lol)

yeah its not bad and looks mostly like a generic scrapper build but i think the problem is scrapper doesnt have the mobility needed in wvw. you wont die when you dont go straight zerk but anyone with a mind to roam wont let you gap close often enough to kill them either.

i run marauder, durability, and eg on one of my scrappers (the power wvw one) and pretty similar to the rest of what youve got and it does a bit better than condi scrapper at surviving but condi scrapper is a better ganker… but in the end, overall, scrapper just leaves something to be desired in wvw. the op weapon doesnt have enough range or sticking power and kits take too much of your time doing 1 thing at a time to really net kills.

Thanks for your post. This build is kitable, however this is not going to be used when solo roaming (that is what I have my teef for lol), however it is going to run in small scale groups which is where it will excel at. Due to past experiences and my evolving playstyle, eg hasn’t been relied on as I find it doesn’t suit me.

In a group fight, this build will be a beast. I just wish they never removed stun on gyro detonation. The build isn’t finalized as the food and 1 utility im not 100% satisfied with so something may change, however i know i can’t stand rifle and hammer does bring a bunch of utility. I will just need to practice, adapt and learn to get good with hammer scrapper again

So after a couple times testing, the stats/trait set up gives me the wonderful ability to take hits/condis, and I did cause 1 pewpew druid to kill himself (reflects ftw), however I feel I need to look at my elite as sneak gyro/mortar/elixir are all useful but situational (will need to find 1 to stick with for the better part of running).

The damage is horrifying (might stacking ftw), however i still feel like im missing something but I dont know what. I find blast gyro is still epic, however feel that where im specced for HGH, I dont use enough elixirs (i swapped out my elixir heal for gyro, I found when I am waiting for thunderclap to come off CD, Rocket charge with water field is a reaaaally good heal). If you were to change 1 utility or trait (minus egun and heal turret as I am happy with my heal now), what would you change/try?
