Guild Wars 2

Hi guys, I just hit 80 and am now looking to start wvwvw full time. I have tried many different builds, and have read the forums quite a bit. However for whatever reason and even though I know it is currently kittened in comparison to grenades I would like to play a flamethrower engineer. I already have my spec in mind, however I have absolutely no idea what armor/jewelry to wear or what runes to use in it.

Would a mix of valkyrie and knight’s be good so that you can last a long time? If so what runes should I use?

Thanks a ton in advance!

well the choose is be vastly more tanky with valkyrie (we are a class with a massive hp to armor short fall) or be much less tanky with knight and have your primary damage stat, precision.

Since power is the same it comes down to a main stat you really need (vit) and a secondary that sucks(crit damage with low crit) or A major that you could do without (toughness) and a secondary that scales wonderfully with fast attacks (pre).

+1 full knight’s 3k armor, 18k hp, 3k attak, 48% crit, 7% crit damage

Gear dictates spec, or spec dictates gear, without knowing your spec and how you want to use it, no one can really make a meaningful suggestion, unless you want to adopt their spec with their gear suggestion. But it doesn’t sound like that. I suggest posting the spec you have in mind.

Hey, sorry I guess I should have posted that I plan on running exactly the flamethrower spec you posted in the sticky sorrow putting 10 in explosives for incendiary powder, 30 in firearms going for juggernaut, precise sights, and fireforged trigger, then picking up 30 alchemy and getting hgh and fast acting elixirs.

Full set Valkyrie and full set of Emeralds.

I base then absolutely nothing other than that’s what I’d do.
