Guild Wars 2

Hey guys!

I’m checking out the Engineer (previously I am using Warrior/Guardian/Ranger/Ele) and how do we go about running dungeons?

As a Warrior, I rarely see an Engineer (along with Necro) when doing PuG’s, so I really have no idea what build to use.

So, how do we go about PvE? Judging from the threads, seems like Turrets are kinda underpowered, so I think we can skip that one.

Any build+gear suggestion/s? Links to good/great/awesome videos? Do we use Grenades/Flamethrowers?

PS:

If you could help in WvWvW playstyle, that would be awesome too. But it’s not yet a priority since I’m still level 5 on this class. lol

honeslty, everything you mentioned worked. Your best bet, is to play with the different kits, gadgets, elixirs, rifle, pistol+pistol, and pistol+shield, and decide what feels like it plays fun for you. Because there is absolutely a viable build for just about any combination.

Since you specifically mention dungeons though, as stacking in a corner is a general system locked in the minds of the masses, I find bombs ideal for this. Otherwise, try some things out and decide what feels fun. Once you do that, we can easiliy tell you how to build for it.

The main strength of an Engineer is that with Grenade Kit/Bomb Kit he can inflict 20+ stacks of Vulnerability and generate 9-15 stacks of Might. If your team doesn’t need the 20+ stacks of Vulnerability (e.g. because there is already a Blind Exposure Guardian and two 30/25 Axe/Mace Warriors in your party) you mainly use Bomb Kit #1 and only use Grenade Kit for #2-#5, or maybe even replace it with a different utility skill.
