(says bad link but i works if you copy it into the address bar)

i’ve put in around 400 hours on this engi and i love it and i just wanna see what you guys think about my build and hopefully some improvements.

i have many other builds that i like to switch to on the fly(best part about engineer) but i keep comin back to this build for survivability and area denial/condition damage along with support if i want to



in an ideal fight i will:
-already have swiftness from kit swapping
-jump/switch to grenade kit to avoid triggering the kit spell
-drop a supply crate on them to stun/immobilize
-lob a shrapnel and freeze grenade along with grenade barrage before they unstun ideally by the time i’m done i am right next to them
-i swap to elixer gun to trigger geomancy sigil and bleed for 3 stack for 7 seconds also laying a super elixer on swap from kit refinement curing a condition
-i then use the acid bomb to blow myself back and gain distance and i fire #2 elixer f for cripple
-swap to pistol and do poison darts followed by static shot getting close to target
-swap to grenade kit triggering grenade barrage from kit refinement as they are now next to me
-throw shrapnel grenade and use grenade barrage and frost grenade if done on cooldown
-swap to elixer gun triggering geomancy sigil for bleed and a condition cure with super elixer also drop another super elixer if condition cure needed
…
-low health or conditions = elixer gun #4 to jump back turn around and swap to med kit curing conditions and healing
…
every once in awhile when i’m being hit alot and dodging if i run out of endurance i pop elixer R or use it to break stun
…
-about to die = toss elixer R at feet for round 2




ok so that was all in theory just to give you an idea of my playstyle and the versatility of this build. also flamethrower can be swapped in to trade damage for survival

it’s mostly condition and crit and i can get around 10 stacks of bleed on a target reliably for 130 per tick so thats around 1.3k dmg per second plus burns plus poison.

i mostly mainhand the grenades and i give them alot of love as i love to stack conditions. theres also alot of support in the build with the condition removal from super elixer+heal and the condition removal from fumigate on the elixer gun also toss elixer R is invaluable to my party.

TRAITS
these vary widely with my mood sometimes i go 30/30/0/0/10 and sometimes i go 30/20/10/0/10 or i got 30/20/0/0/20

anyway…

important ones are shrapnel for 15% chance of bleed on grenade hit and grenadier of course. what i wanna take the time to talk about is the tools trait line. at first i thought it was completely useless and i never touched it .. ever. then i messed around with it and WOW.

first off i know you can get alot alot of heal from the healing turret but i like med kit and with 20 points in tools not only do you have a 5k heal with a 16 second cool down with medkit but it also resets at 25% health (buggy) with the toolbelt, so really on your way down to 0 health you have a 10k of healing. second you have Kit Refinement which i can no longer live without.

Kit Refinement adds (all PBAOE):
med pack: small explosion
grenade kit: grenade barrage
elxier gun: super elixer(condition cure)
flamethrower: flameblast (burn)
bombs: regular bomb (weak and i don’t have any idea why no big ol bomb)
toolkit: box of nails (bleed/cripple)

ON KIT SWAP i mean dude … and along with my geomancy sigil.
AND ONLY 10 POINTS IN … i go 20 for swift

and ofcourse don’t forget your infinite swiftness with kit swap.

anyway sorry for jumbled mess but it’s late and i just got done with WvW reset so i’m loopy

TLDR: visit the build link and comment with anything your heart desires PLEASE.
