Guild Wars 2

I’ve just started an Engineer and I really want to use Flamethrower. I’m looking for a good PVE build. I have been reading a lot of posts with builds, tried Google, etc, but weeding through it all and trying to figure out which builds are still good for the current game state, and which are outdated and not viable anymore, is a little overwhelming. So, I would really appreciate any replies with links or info on what Flamethrower build(s) are current.

Thanks in advance!

i think most flamethrower builds revolve around the use of HGH especially for PvE… and trust me when i say swallowing that much liquid is not good for the bladder.

so the typical flamethrower would just be 20 firearms an 30 alchemy with 20 of whatever else you feel like

Here’s the flamethrower build that I’ve been rocking for a few days now: Flamethrower Tank

The main idea of this build is to get protection, remain in protection boons, and just face tank everything. To keep yourself getting booted from groups, make sure to use all of your skills, don’t just stand there and flame jet for hours on end. Also, don’t push enemies away from the party stacking either. Utilize fire fields from flame turret F2, fire fields from flamethrower, blinds from flamethrower #5 and smoke field from flame turret. The Elite Supplies trait can be changed for Power Shoes, Energized Armor, or Stabilizing Armor depending on your needs. Also, the rocket turret can be changed too, but I really enjoy the F2 rocket for a nice burst to the face. Try the build out, you might be impressed with the tanginess! Above all else, make ’em burn!

I’ll be trying this in WvW soon. Since I suck at pvp, there’s a chance that I won’t do too well. I’m always open to constructive criticism.

I got a Flamethrower build that might serve as a ok example:

But yeah usually coupling elixirs with it is good. The Alchemy and the Firearms traits are a must imo.

I have similar but 0/20/20/30/0 WIth HGH, runes of altruism (4) + water (to get boon +15%), armor – sentinel (power, tough, vit ), trinkets the same.

I use rifle (SENTINEL) + 2x pistols (sentinel) if I feel like having additional cond but I prefer rifle blast. This is more power build withconstant 25 (almost all the time) might stack (4100-4200 power) , Armor 3000-3100. Life 27k .

A lot of tanky tank face to face burning with protections traits (from amor and alchemy line). Nice with power and 20% boon duration consum. Gameplay is smooth and in WvW not so bad as well…

Does it help you survive the hammer train / blob vs blob aoe?

More important is, did you survive in a zerg full of retilation?

I’m trying to make this:

If it works, I want to call it “Annoying Little Asura is on Fire”.
I think it could work great in WvW.
