Guild Wars 2

Intigo from the the elementalist subforum posted a video footage with multiple duels between D/D ele and a P/S engineer.

The PoV is ele, but I think it can still be interesting to watch for fellow engineers.

Original post is HERE .

Can anyone help me identify these boons on the engineer?

Also, do they count as boons for the purposes of Energy Conversion Matrix? Do consumables count towards this trait as well?

flamethrower toolbelt skill
outmanned wvw buff
the 4 blue buffs are buffs from wayfarer foothills consumables like http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Raven_Offering
the green one is skale venom http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Skale_Venom_%28consumable%29

they aren’t boons so no, they do not count.

what kind of gear was the engineer running?

I have been having a lot of people ask me about my build before this video. And I think its time to share it.
I will write a short explanation about it as soon as I have time and if there is any interest I can try to explain my thoughts on the engineer in its current state.
Had amazing fights tonight and I would like to extend a thank you to all the people I dueled (And no this build is not designed primary for 1v1 but for fg vs fg fights for you people who will swarm with 1v1 not being wvwvw

Great fights Johan, the most intense duals I’ve ever had. Good to see ele focus still has some use

Yes the fights against you using focus was just…amazing!
I don´t know what to say about it, crazy tense!

Thanks a lot Johan for replying here and looking forward to your build.

Good luck with your future duels!

Well played, I been having a lot of success lately with my engi specially against thieves. Only class I really find annoying is Mesmer. At least I can run away from them and I guess that’s sort of a small victory in some cases.

Uuuh,loved it,nice build.

U aren’t running cond dmg build,not even a full power build.I think it’s a hibrid gear set.
Also i guess the trait must be something like 10/10/20/10/20 or 10/10/20/20/10 fromthe buffs u gain and the skill effect(like kit refiniment , may be also discharge on tool belt , bomb on evade , may be 25% elixier S , etc).This can explain the double dispell on elixier gun + discharge with wrench and rifle turret belt skills.
Still curius to know how many hp / toughness u have.

Sorry for my english.
Regards

So far I been dueling Johan a few times in the current WvW Match up atm (Piken is vs SFR atm), and I’m having a blast vs him! His by far the best fellow Engineer I have met, and it’s a intrestring build his runing, got a great clip with him vs me comeing up with my next video! But Johan is a great player, and so far I have all most pinpointed his setup down!
Looks something like this:

Still not sure where the last 10 points is placed, but I will figure it out! But keep up the work Johan, I’m glad to see another Engineer testing and creating new and intrestring setups for WvW small scale!

I am also interested in your traits/gear setup Johan :] Also love to see more of your fights! Keep up the good work

Nice reverse engineering!

It looks that his last 10 points are in the Invetions line and he took Protective Shield (I). If you watch the video around 1:00 you will see it proc-ing and then 20s later again, etc, etc.

It also seems that Johan is using either Superior Rune of the Centaur or he went 30 points into Tools to get also Speedy Kits (VI) together with Static Discharge (II) and Kit Refinement (IV). You can see it in the video @ 1:50 where he with swiftness up crits and gets extra swiftness, but then immediately afterwards switches to the Med Kit (you can also see/hear the explosion from Kit Refinenemnt) and gets some extra swiftness.

Itkoviana is indeed awesome. He ended up beating me much more soundly the next day, I need more experience using the Focus.

Thank you all for the kind words! Amadeus is a great engineer and you should watch his movies for some tips and interesting and effective builds
Nirvana and jmap, I will post my build and explain the reason behind certain choices during this week. however I am quite busy the first few days but expect it to come up in a few days!
I will try to hang around in the thread and answer any potential questions, and if there seems to be interest in it I can go over some more advanced tips and tricks :P

Wow that lasted a long time lol. If I was either of those players I would have gotten bored around the 1-2 minute mark and just died or ran away!
