Guild Wars 2

I haven’t posted a build on the forums for a while now, but here’s my latest sPvP build video that I uploaded a couple of weeks ago.

My aim with this build was to get more than one role in the build itself. For the base of this build, I picked up the Bomb Kit and the Grenade Kit together. Straight away, these two kits contrast each other regarding the range of them.

The Bomb Kit is almost like a melee weapon, having a radius of no larger than 250. Although it has heavy emphasis on conditions like the Grenade Kit does, the difference in range makes the Bomb Kit designed for close quarters.

The Grenade Kit has potentially the highest ranged attacks for the Engineer. This automatically sits it in a position where its range can be used to its advantage, and using the kit in close quarters would almost be wasting the advantages of its ranged capabilities.

If these two kits are combined, it means that this build can switch ranges and roles depending on the situation. If your team has a slight edge on capturing a point, and you are not necessarily needed to stand inside the point, then you can find a spot away from the point and support your team with grenades and elixirs.

If you are needed to contest for the point because your team is not doing as well, then you can play with the Bomb Kit and the pistol + shield and run into close quarters, being able to apply group conditions and knock people out of the point.

There are also elixirs to help support your team, as throwing them has quite a substantial range, yet not as good as the Grenade Kit’s range, unfortunately.

I hope this helps, thanks for viewing the build!

This build looks very promising :> It looks like a niche build, but it seems pretty solid. Good damage, decent survivability, can support downed allies, and can hold a point in a pinch.

Thanks for sharing with everyone!
