Guild Wars 2

To get maximum damage output while using flamethrower :

1)
What build I need to use ? ( to which traits I should give points ? ).

2)
Which armor set I should wear ? ( which stat set I need ? ).

3)
Which stats I should focus on more ? ( precision-power-condition damage/duration-toughness ? ).

Whould you help me please ? thanks.

1. I found the highest damage to be 20/30/0/20/0

2. Full Zerker with Scholar Runes, Sigil of Bloodlust and Sigil of Force or Night

3. Power/Precision/Crit%

To get the most raw DPS you’ll have to swap kits/weapons a lot, can’t simply stay in FT the whole time. Rifle 3 n 5 and EG 4 need to be used on cooldown. Rifle Turret is used for Vulnerability and Surprise Shot. EG4 hits hard, works well with Net Shot and Napalm. The Acid Bomb leap back can be cancelled by the ‘weapon swap’ key. If you don’t twist your kits/weapon your DPS will be noticeably low but doing it this way will bring you up to what I’d consider competitive DSP levels, low end of competitive but you’re there none the less.

Alternatively Runes of Altruism can be used with Med Kit for Fury and Might -or- 2x Runes of Strength, Fire and Hoelbrak each for might duration.

FT is awesome, I just wish they would kick it up like 10%.

I’m running 0/25/0/20/25 with my Flamethrower at the moment, but come December 10, with the change to Modified Ammo, I think 20/30/0/20/0 will be more powerful.

When I use FT I run 0/25/0/20/25
The basic FT traits with SD and turrets (RT and TT) for tons of blast finishers to achieve 25 might
full zerker gear

For me using FT with SD was the best way to improve the dmg of the set to reach near the Bomb/Nade dmg.

My main problem with it is that you can´t use it underwater and you dont have much of a range.

And Bombs have more utility

how does " blast finisher " work ? when we need to use it to get 25 might ? which skills are giving " blast finisher " ? thanks.

Any skills that has Combo Finisher: Blast is a blast finisher. For example, all deployed turrets can be exploded as a blast finisher.

Blast finishers give different effects depending on the active field. A blast finisher in a Fire field give 3 stacks of might in an area to up to five friendlies.

So flamethrower #4 for a fire field and detonate turrets in it to give Might (for example).

And Bombs have more utility

I think so too, but they’re very dangerous in a lot of situations. I definitely don’t think the Bomb Kit is an option for a lot of world events. I find it dangerous to use in a lot of fractals, too.

FT/EG is a lot safer with 200 Toughness and 425-600 range.

extra toughness can be a problem sometimes with the way aggro works…
and if you go bombs, you probably have nades for ranged fights.
and world events you can get your FT just to tag things and works without any traits anyway…

If you’re burning a slot for the Grenade Kit you’re giving up a lot else you could be running with. FT is a safe midrange option that still grants a fire field giving you room to choose whatever you want for other utilities.

Either you have to drop bombs, losing that fire field, or you gotta take grenades too which reduces versatility.

RE: Toughness aggro, I pull hate way more often on bombs due to damage than I do FT due to Toughness.

And I’m not talking about tagging. I’m talking you burn to death fighting FE.
