Guild Wars 2

Is it viable?

If so, what traits should I be taking for Explosives?

I know I need to take 30 in Alchemy though obviously, but I’m not too sure about the other traits. I’m using Rabid armour at the moment, so I thinking about taking some on-crit traits more than “recharge -20%” or “+10% damage” traits.

30/10/0/30/0 is the staple (30 Explosives for the Grenadier trait, otherwise you’re doing it wrong).

Everything else is gravy, really. I personally go with Incendiary Powder for the +burn on crit, and Enhance Performance for the +3 Might stacks every time I use a heal skill (Medikit kit-swapping triggers this). As I mentioned in my build post , I combo Enhance Performance with my 4 Superior Runes of Altruism for instant 6 Might stacks at will (actually once every 10 seconds, which is more than enough for me).

I also used to run with Empowering Adrenaline and Short Fuse for the DPS, which is also good not just for HGH builds.

For the Alchemy line (HGH is also a given), I cannot understate just how good Invigorating Speed is. Not only does it give +50% Endurance gain, the Vigor boon is counted for the Energy Matrix trait for additional DPS. Combo this with Infused Precision (10 pt. Firearms line, gives Quickness on crit), and you can virtually dance around your enemies and they can’t do anything about it.

I ran with Cleaning Formula 409 for the condition removal (you and your party will love you for it), but like the Explosives line, it’s really your call, as both Potent Elixirs and Fast-Acting Elixirs are solid choices.

HGH crit nades hit so hard they do kill your allies too. I never touched my warrior again. Grenade autoattack crits with 1,1k -1,5k – but 3 times! Making it the most destroying atuoattack I ever used.

Edit: Even Chuck Norris fears HGH Grenades.

What armor do you use with that? o_O

All berserker for chuck norris dps. Usualy I don’t play all berserker – I prefer all stats -trinkets and berserker/knight’s armor for more flexibility.

I run Rabid, but because I already have Rabid ascendeds I don’t really want to have to re-acquire ascended gear all over again.

Would it work with Knight’s armor and rabid accessories, d’you reckon, or?
