I was doing some theory crafting and came up with some impressive stats. Soldiers rifle, sig of force. Sentinel Armor and trinkets. What do you think? WVW only.

It is viable, yes.

One change in your build though, I would use bombs over grenades. Just a matter of personal opinion.

As well, I feel your better off going full soldiers instead of sentinels.

Thanks for the suggestion Coglin, seems reasonable enough! I just like grenade barrage so much. I’ll try out bombs with soldiers.

If you like grenades, then by all means use them. I am simply opposite of you in my bias is all.

All you have to do is swap out the grandmaster trait fro grenadier and swap bomb kit for grenade kit.

If they make the changes to power shoes, transmute, and elixir infused bombs that they mentioned, I will probably use a build like this myself

Have you had success with this build?

Right now I use this build a lot with great success.

The difference in it and the one above is that I use short fuse over transmute, because transmute is more unpredictable now, and I like the shorter cool down on glue bomb and smoke bomb, for the defensive and control abilities respectively.

I prefer rocket boots for mobility both to close gaps and making gaps. And I find both the utility and tool belt aspects of it scale decently with power. I like EG for a little bit of condition removal, stun breaker(I can’t stand WvW with no stun breaker) and the two AoE heal pulses with super elixir and healing mist.

Also was thinking about taking 20 points out of power trait and into toolkit recharge for power wrench, SD, but will SD be worth it for losing 200 200 power? Hmmm choices!

I think SD can be worth it, absolutely. My main problem with it, is that with so many tool belt skills it doesn’t go at a direct target. It will with the throw wrench skill, but it will not with either Big Ol’ Bomb or Grenade Barrage, or mine field.
