Hello all I have brought to you today 2 possible builds i am thinking of for solo/ small group roaming in wvw. Mainly I will be running with my brothers thief.

I would much appreciate some feedback on the strengths and weakness’ of my builds.

So without further ado onto my first build:

The pyrotechnic mechanic build
http://ie.ign.com/builds/guild-wars-2?class=engineer&d=001000000000000000000019038025039042000000000000000000000000000030000000000075000077000081000000000000000000000000000020000000000110000113000000020000000000130000132

Ok basic reasoning behind this build is to use the flamethrower as much as possible, tool kit helps with pulling people to me and keeping them there were i can slowly roast them with my flamethrower.

Elixir S and self regulating defenses provide me with some defense.

The Terrorist build:
http://ie.ign.com/builds/guild-wars-2?class=engineer&d=001000000000000000000019021025039042030000000000057000059000063020000000000075000077000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000020000000000128000134

This build has a similar concept as the one above but focuses on the grenade kit instead of the flamethrower kit.

Any advice, info or opinions you guys can share would be much appreciated.

1st off i cant see your builds when copy the link most spells are missing and traits too, could you make them in http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/ ?
After making the build scroll down you’ll see “Get Quick Link” post where the link you get.
Also what kind of thief is your bro? If he uses a lot of smoke fields… you could also use some (bomb kit) to help him stay invisible and you as well.. wich mean using your Blats will be very pro active

Brother has not decided yet what type of thief he will play as we are only levelling these together at the moment.

Seems like a good build with much variety. I am not a big fan of 2 kits (just my opinion) my flame build would be with 20 on explosives… But as for your build i can see the situation/rotation where you will need to make your way into flame range with gear shield quick Prybar and Nails, 1 evade change to flame and start burning them, after u get attacked try to get some range again and repeat the rotation

Edit: also if you are not using backpack regenerator Healing Turret or Elixir H would suit better. Turret Blast plus fire field = Might

Yeah that was the general idea behind it. Now i could really do with some advice on the sigil and runes i should be looking at for this build.

Well that depends a bit on what you wish, to kill faster, or live longer.
Bloodlust sigil is a must.
Remember FT benefits from Power<Precision<Crit
On your Build the rune choices were 2 Balthazar and 4 Melandru, I don’t really like Melandru, if you want Toughness Rune of the Forge or of the Earth would be a better choice to use with FT. if you wish full dps go 3 Balthazar and 3 Flame Legion or 3 of Lyssa if you fill like you are missing some crit chance
