Guild Wars 2

I’ve recently made a charr engi and I don’t no too much about it. Hoping for some hints and tips. Also wandering if the following build is viable for PvP or if it should be tweaked a bit.

Weapons:
-pistol
-shield

Utilities:
-healing turret
-tool kit
-elixir b
-elixir s/c
-elixir x

Traits:
10/0/30/30/0
-exploit weakness/acidic elixirs
-energised armour
-reinforced shield
-power shoes
-fast-acting elixirs
-potent elixirs
-HGH

Equipment:
Default

Please improve and tell me your opinions.

You need burning through either offhand pistol, bombs, incendiary powder, or a combination

Which do you recomend

If you’ve invested so heavily into elixirs, I would use Elixir H for a heal.

I thought about that, it didn’t seem as effective and the boon isn’t reliable. I’ll try it though.

It’s not just the random boon though, that’s why I mentioned that you invested heavily into elixirs. It’s about that boon lasting longer, as well as stacking more might.

I would probably do Cleansing Formula 409 instead of Potent Elixirs in sPvP. Conditions are just going to wreck you.

If suggest offhand pistol. Shield without perplexity is meh.

I didn’t consider that the boons for the heal would be elongated, so thanks.
Also, if I swap shield with pistol, what should I replace “reinforced shield” with.
By the way thanks for the help.

Cloaking device, the one with protection are all good choices. Id personally drop 10 from inventions into firearms for hair trigger tho

The standard condi builds are 30/10/0/20/10 with nades/EG/TK/bombs/rocketboots or 20/10/0/30/10 with AR, perplexity, and bombs/TK

Do you think it could work though?

Sure it could work. Just theres no real reason to play a suboptimal build :/

OK, thanks for the help. Any builds you’d recommend trying?

Ok. Just wandering, are there any other builds apart from condition that engis play well?

glass or bruiser power builds work fine… but condi spammers are hard to deal with and easy to play ever since perplexity and dire

What would a bruiser power build be like?

very different builds, similar play… first has more control and mobility, second is less weak to condis.

you could like… go bombs/tk/eg with either gear set and move points out of explosives if you dont like grenades. but im not sure what traits id want for that, im a big fan of grenades in wvw. 1500 range, lobbing, and no los is great for killing siege that meteor shower wont reach.

Thanks for the builds I’all give them both a try as well as the condi build.
