Hi guys, I am new to this game so don’t know many things yet.

my main is asura engineer.

I have been initially following “Condition Grenadier” build from metabattle website.

http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Engineer_-_Condition_Grenadier

But now I recently unlocked all skills in my scrapper elite tree and want to try out the scrapper build.

Can you guys suggest me current best scrapper build for PvE/Fractals?.

And also I would like to know the combat rotation for the build if possible.

There’s one on metabattle, it’s called power grenadier and is the current meta for general pve things that aren’t high level fractals or raids.

Ah ok, I am trying out this build now thanks.

One more question how do you guys keep different armor and weapons for each build like pvp/pve/high lvl fractals?

Wahoo!


I suggest you play power Scrapper in general and use condi for rather specific situations.

Condi will shine at high lv fractals, because of the toughness there, aswell in some parts at raids, but in general you’ll be stronger and more useful for your team as power Scrapper, espeically in dungeons and open world.

The main reason for this is because condi must use grenades, bombs and flame thrower at all cost to deal good damage. If you have only two of those kits and would like to change the third one for things like slick shoes, mines, elixier gun, bulwark gyro or whatever, you’ll be much stronger as a power Scrapper.

An Engineer has no real rotation. We use the skills that deal the most damage and if this skill is on cooldown, we use the next one in our mental list. If you check out that link you see what skills are strong and wich you should favorize using. It’s hard to get this mental clock in your head to know wich skill is off cooldown if you are not on the specific kit, but you’ll get used to it, that’s how we work!


If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask!

Oh and what do you mean by “how do you guys keep different armor and weapons for each build”? Well I keep them in my inventory Hurrdurr

Wow thanks for such an amazing reply and info.

And about the 2nd question I know its weird but I asked coz i was having less inventory space with all that condition build gear + the loot from bosses and meta events and stuff XD so i asked how you people manage gear if your following more than 1 build.

Ah ok :P

Yea your inventory gets stuffed a bit, so use at least 18 bags, or 20ies from fotm. I also bought my two mains max bags so they have 160 space. Wahoo!
