Hey guys, just wanted some advice on my grenade/bomb hybrid build that I use for general pve and fractals/dungeons and whatnot. Here’s the link:

30/10/0/20/10.
Soldier’s gear
Rampager’s Pistol/Shield
zerker accessories
Ruby Orbs and Sigil of Earth/Corruption.

I was thinking of moving the 10 in firearms to tools for Scope for a dps boost (maybe? I’d lose 100 prec and condi damage, gain 10% crit damage but most of the time gain the crit chance % back with the trait). Also was thinking of moving the 10 in firearms to Inventions for Cloaking Device for wvw.

Cloaking device will only get you killed, take an Elixr S instead, reliable 3 second AOE stealth on the toolbelt on your own terms so you know exactly when to expect it (might accidentally reveal yourself otherwise), plus the 4 second damage immunity is nothing to sneeze at and you don’t have to spend traits on it. With that said, don’t waste traits on the 25% health Elixr S either – that’ll get you killed as well (I know you didn’t have that, just throwing it out there). Explosion radius is only useful for WvW Zerging, don’t need it for any PVE content. Also, I see that you have access to a lot of bleeds, but you don’t take advantage of this as much as you could (other than the weapons, back item and corruption sigil – sigil of battle might give you more bang for your buck btw). I suggest swapping out berserker trinkets with Rampager trinkets or build towards a more power-based build (e.g., swap out shrapnel with EP). Also I wouldn’t recommend grenades in WvW if you’re planning on zerging, bombs are good though.
