Guild Wars 2

I just reach level 20.

engineers were boring below level 20 because I didn’t have access to all 3 utility skills. Now that I am level 20, I am having fun with it.

What is a good leveling build?

It is so I can get to level 80.

Wow… Now that I think about it, this is actually a really tough question! Unlike warrior GS/rifle, we have so many options to level but it’s really hard to say, “Yep, that’s the best way to do it.” But let me give it a shot anyways.

Let’s put it this way, if I were to level an engi again… I will experiment with the following given how I like to play (with little patience).

Notes:

• First I’ll go down the tools tree. If my damage is still too low, I’ll grab static discharge first. If damage is ok, I’ll grab speedy kit. I cannot live without permanent swiftness because engi doesn’t have any good “leaping forward” skills on short CD.
• Then I’ll go grab cloaking device because invis vs. mobs is cheesy. Also medkit’s biggest weakness is being immobilized. After that just do whatever you think will help you most.
• Keep fury up (with medkit 5) as often as possible.
• Single target damage: Rifle 3 and Rifle 5 + toolbelt skills is the key for quick kills. I wouldn’t drop rifle turret for quick kills.
• Vets and harder stuff: stack confuse and use smoke bomb or blocks. Or kite and drop bombs/box of nails behind you while running in circle. Will probably drop rifle turret to shoot mob if I’m running in circles.
• AoE: Bombs and rifle 5.
• Escape: Turn invis with big ol’ bomb, smoke bomb, and explode rifle turret for head start in running. Drop box of nails if necessary. Run away while dropping med-packs will automatically pick them up.
• There are a lot of other tricks that you can do but you’ll have to experiment.
• Keep gear updated especially the rifle as a big chunk of damage should be coming from your rifle skills.
• Be flexible. Some zones you should switch out some skills to make your life easier. It’s very situation so I’ll leave that to you.
