Guild Wars 2

Some numbers for all those who it may interest, from condi and power engi in the new testing area. Simulating a optimal raid setting perhaps.

In video stationary 4mill 30k condi, 29k power. And mobile 1mill 27k condi, 30k power.

…

I am gonna try to reproduce your numbers, if I can I gonna undust my power engi again!

Wahoooo!!

Took you a while to realize how good power Scrapper is … I’m taking a deeeeeeeep sip out of my “Very Tall Glass Of I Told You So”

:PPP

Nearly perfect rotation but you can do even better!

On condi, big ol’ bomb and poison gas shell both are dps increases over grenade auto. So use them too!

On power, poison grenades are also a dps increase. Dunno if you still have them “old school” in your mind when they didn’t deal much power damage, but right now they have the same power damage as chill grenades, so they are even better with the poison. Don’t forget them, love ’em too :<
And why the ferocity food? o.o

Here the (pre patch) list of skill priority, scroll down for images at the first post:

PS: liked them all ~<3 good job !

Had no idea poison grenade had same power as chill when did that happen.

You can get ever so slightly higher EP with the ferocity food and zerk+valk assuming spotter. Nothing significant, just habit from wvw marauder itemization.

Happened when they reduced nade range to 900 and introduced mortar etc. That one big trait rework patch

The just plain “power engineer” is scrapper with hammer while the Rifle one is (obviously) Rifle? And what’s your rifle build?

Could you please link your build?

(I’ll keep it up to date if something changes. Altough I haven’t changed the condi stuff due to the recent buffs Q_Q)

Thanks for the link (it’s one I’ve looked at before), but I just find hammer to be… boring

if hammer is boring, go p/p condi or perhaps make a different class. not trying to scare you away or anything, but rifle and shield are outdated for now, which are 2 of the 5 weapon choices… rifle should only be seeing use when you dont wanna run scrapper (like when you need movement speed), which isnt so rare but isnt the kind of situation where you should be worried about dps either.

but of course if you arent too worried about dps, just go rifle anyways because it isnt that much worse, it just fills up less of your rotation.

Gonna try some vanilla engi rifle stuff soon. Who knows ;3 …

That’s pretty much what I’m doing. I’ll run P/P condi in raids but it’s just not my favorite build in general; the condi life doesn’t fit me. OP’s reported 30k DPS with power rifle is intriguing, though. Even if hammer scrapper can go higher 30k is still definitely good enough to use anywhere, despite not being optimal.

Tested yesterday a bit, but need more expirience with both builds. Both have around the same dps, but what I couldn’t test is the impact of Kinetic Battery on the rifle build, aswell as the 10% modifier loss on dodge. Maybe energy as a sigil is better than air in that case? Need further tests.

But I wouldn’t blame any power engi goind for a rifle or a hammer. Both are around 30k maxxed out, so max 25k if played well in raids, wich is quite nice.

Well that’s very good to hear. Thanks for testing!
