Guild Wars 2

Just fishing for some information. Getting into engi’s for PvE at the moment. I would LIKE a good Elixir Gun build, but any other PvE suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

P.S. Been away from the game for a period of time, so if my want for elixir gun is out of date, please state why and hopefully suggest something else.

before being blasted by people, I am basically a weekend player and not as up to date as some other players. I do research stuff when I am looking for an upgrade or wondering about my traits, and read the forums sometimes.

I am using a pretty standard 0/30/0/30/10 build picking up EG range and cooldown in firearms and damage in alchemy. Also in alchemy I got automated response, but you can get HGH if you like the extra might when using the flamethrower. My gadgets trait is speedy kits instead kit refinement (due to the nerf a few patches ago). Speedy kits gives you basically perma-swiftness when running around the map.

Pretty soon the other iteration of the build 10/30/0/30/0 won’t necessarily be as used as much because of the upcoming patch and change to incendiary powder (4 second burn every 10 seconds).

Reposted. Now looking for any viable PvE build. I know of P/P HGH builds, and I’m not against that, but what other options are there. Are there any power builds, or is grenadier about it? Just posing some questions, thanks for all replies ahead of time.

Have you looked through the other recent threads that ask for build suggestions?

Grenades are pretty much the end-all be-all for PvE. They tear through open-world mobs super fast and offer massive damage and support for dungeon parties. It’s a little bit dumb how OP they are, honestly, I wouldn’t mind a nerf for grenades and buffs for everything else just so I have an excuse to use a different weapon from time to time.

Dunno about EG builds, most people use it for the healing field + blast finisher and not for attacking per se. It’s really more of a PvP weapon in that it lets you kite other players while bleeding them out slowly, but you won’t find much use for it in PvE unless you enjoy running in circles for minutes on end for every single mob you encounter.

You might wanna wait for tomorrow’s patch before setting up a build. Nades are the way to go right now. Who knows if that’s the case tomorrow.

The grenades are the way to go if you want range, damage and good conditions in PVE. No engineer should argue about this. However you can use the flamethrower as well if you follow a certain build. Made my leveling very easy and also very versatile in dungeons.
