Hey! I’v been trying to make a working flamethrower build for awhile now and after plenty of tinkering and failed attempts this is the build I came up with,

So the main goal was to make something that wont break your fingers and still be able to tag and deal decent damage. “Rapid Regeneration”, “Final Salvo”, “Bunker Down” and “Heavy Armor Exploit” will keep your health up while “Over Shield”, “Recovery Matrix” and “Bulwark Gyro” will reduce incoming damage.
Shield instead of Pistol Off-hand? While Pistol Off-hand is offering two great skills I prefer Shield since it allows you to stack protection and offers daze, stun, knockback, blastfinisher and projectile finisher.
Works great in PvE!
Currently practising running this build in PvP aswell, so far I’v had OK results, next step will be WvWvW.

a condi bomber nukes you really fast.
I’m aware that conditions might be a problem so you have to be extra careful around other condition based players but I always was to begin with, engineers are rather weak vs condibuilds in general in my opinion.

Hi, I playing the same Build a long time ago, but with other Gear and it works fine.
1. Condition with P/P, dire armor, trailblazer trinkets and with Balthasar runes
2. Power with Hammer, Berserker Gear, Marauder Trinkets and with Durability Runes
Nice to hear! did you have any success with the build in WvWvW?

Scrapper is stronger becouse, with the fact that you have a block on hammer and stealth , if u need it on elite, you can play with hammer, sneak gyro and for example take elixir C or purge gryro against condition, then you have 2 skill empty for what you want ..
You get a block with shield aswell but I hear you, everything has it’s pros and cons

how many seconds of block … and what cd ? toolkit is on 13.5 cd if traited … shield is unusable with so long cd …. infact nobody uses it for spvp .
24sec cd on static and 20 on magnetic (traited) infact I’v seen several engineers using shield in spvp.
