Guild Wars 2

Rub those braincells, I’m looking for a build where I can main my wrench as weapon, and one that WORKS.
PS: I have been beating thought processes about this forever!

Make a Warrior, equip Wrench.

Ta-da.

Hey, I recently read a build here on the forums that would work for you possibly. I think he called it a Tesla build or something. It looked mainly at setting turrets and using turrets as a main but I think you could incorporate the tool kit as a your main along side it. You could use your wrench for fixing the turrets and and pulling people back to you for more thwacking! I’ve personally be thinking about trying to utilize this build but haven’t got around to it well enough yet.

As far as a build goes, just utilize any traits that increase your Turret or tool kit abilities and there ya go! Obviously you would have either Defensive turrets or Offensive turrets that either throw out condition, direct dmg or crowd control, healing, curing conditions. Plus, one turret has a stun break making them more viable not to mention Supply crate would greatly benefit from your wrenching turret awesomeness.

I may have to play around with this build tonight and maybe we can help each other out.

Just playing with a build calculator.

u missed 1 thing atleast. Dolyak runes is kitten.

What i already tried best melee builds was with main dmg from FT/EG or BOMBS.

He is specifically asking for a build that includes TK.

I could also see throwing out the Rocket Boots for a Turret instead.

Also, if you don’t like Dolyak Runes then maybe Melandru.

Another type of build to consider when looking at the Tool kit is the Tank/Condition builds. Pry bar and wrench can dish out some rather large numbers either as a zerker or conditionalist. If you go condition tank, i think Melandru or Perplexity are both valid depending on your preference of defense or offense. Perplexity can work wonders either with Toolkit, bombkit, pistols or going with Toolkit and Turrets (if turrets are traited with the explosive knock back). Nothing like slinging out Burning non-stop with rocket and flamethrower turret but when the turret gets destroyed it also launches enemies causing int interrupts with put on more confusion.

Question, the trait that makes turret blow up on destruction, do they count as a toolbelt skill and would hence proc static discharge?

Question, the trait that makes turret blow up on destruction, do they count as a toolbelt skill and would hence proc static discharge?

If you manually detonate them, yes; but as with all untargeted/ground-targeted toolbelt skills, the bolt from the Static Discharge trait, when triggered, flies in a straight line away from your current camera position. This usually results in it simply hitting the ground a short distance from your feet rather than hitting a target.

If they detonate as a result of taking damage, then no, you will not get a static proc from their destruction.

Just checked it out at PvP and yes it does

So having both static discharge and turrets you could use 3 toolbelt skills both offensive and cc which proc SD and then drop all your turrets and when your ready blow them up causing 3 more SD procs.

Can turn into some large amounts of dmg I’m sure.

Sounds nasty and nice versus maybe one or two melee-heavy opponents. Especially with the magnetic pull. Dunno about this versus necros with lots of adds or mesmers with lots of clones, but with the CC options added in for detonated turrets, you could seriously stomp an unwary opponent just cycling through your skills. Sounds like it would help to be by a wall or structure where they can’t back-peddle away from you. I really want to try out the Tesla build when I get more comfortable with the tool kit.

damage of toolkit is to poor…really

Just try dolyak runes and u will understand why they are bad.

Guys started to make Tool Kit build with static discharge but it’s not TK it will be SD build))) what is very nice….

Idk how to help topicstarter, i tried TK melee as main dmg but it’s very poor

It really depends on what content you wan to do, here is what I came up with:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcAQJAqelIqicnqSZF17IxoHde0iOkC7nYRKyv+B-j0xAYsASDAJQAZvioxWGLiGruGT7SEVLDAzYA-w -WvW
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcAQJAqelIqicnqSZF17IxoHde0iOkC7nYRKyv+B-ToAA0CvIMSZkzIjRSjsGNAZOA

The idea behind it is to keep opponent perma crippled and in range of turrets, with magnet pull and shield pushback, remember you can cleave heal turrets too. If you get low on HP you can spike heal by blasting the heal turret water field, but then you should back off if you can’t finish the opponent because you’ll have a long cooldown on the turrets.
I really only see this being viable in PvP as a point holder, maybe WvW if your defending a camp.

No idea, I’m messing with stuff I’ve liked in WvW.

Toolkit + Pistol for conditions. Ability to apply every source of condition damage except Torment.
Turrets for extra DPS plus knockbacks, blast finishers, and Immobilize.
Static Discharge on 3 targeted utility skills for extra DPS.
Immobilize cripples and stacks Vulnerability.
Multiple interrupts.
Two different channel blocking abilities.
No swiftness or stability, though, so

You will want the Immobilize and knockdowns for any build that wants to melee.

Use full Berserker’s build and using your Bomb Kit as your auto attack. Full Ruby Orbs, Maintenance Oils, and Bowl of Sweet and Spicy Butternut Squash Soup/Plate of Truffle Steak if you’re strapped for cash.

Swap to Rifle for Blunderbuss and Jump Shot, then your Tool Kit for Prybar. Spam Surprise Shot and Throw Wrench whenever it’s up. Just auto-attack with Bomb Kit and you’ll hit 5 enemies for 4k+ Damage.

For main weapons, you gotta consider what you are aiming for. Rifles provide burst and mobility, while shield provides survivaility and conditions.

What’s also important are the utilities. Tool kit is a must, of course, but consider taking bomb kit. Bomb kit is flexible in that you don’t have to actually hit the enemy, just use them for combo fields such as stealth, might, heals, etc. Also consider that with runes of perplexity and good use of magnet pull, you can get a confusion bomb to blow up while the enemy is down and get stacks of confusion. Swap to toolkit afterwards for extra confusion stacks!

The third utility slot is up in the air but rocket boots sound great for mobility, in order to get in close or escape.

I’ve used This Build extensively in sPvP and tPvP, and it does some pretty intense damage without removing the mobility you get with other builds. This is literally just for tool kit, pistols provide the sigils is all.

Loads of vulnerability on all the things, slick shoes is great for anyone trying to escape your hits, there’s a stun break and lots of vigour.

If you want more dodges just move 10 out of arms to tools, change Static to swifty and use Implant as the Gmaster trait.

Good Luck brooski.
