Hi! so im looking for some rifle builds. I’ve used p/s and its just a lil boring for my taste. I do have access to cele trinkets. I’m mainly looking for power builds w/ survivability that are viable for WvW roaming and/or group fights. If you only know of condi or hybrid builds, then feel free to post those too. I’m willing to try anything for a fun rifle build, Thanks!

Here’s the build that I’ve been playing with that focuses on CC, it’s pretty much the only means of survabiltiy you’re going to get in this sort of roaming spec as other classes will outrun you, and probably outburst you (Thieves can drop you in seconds if you don’t react fast, but that pretty much goes without saying regardless of what spec you run :P ):

And if you’re feeling particularly brave, here’s an even burstier variant that makes use of static discharge and grenades:

Yes you’ll melt pretty fast in most team fights, but man does it feel great to absolutely destroy 1v1 in this spec.

Try this one for instant murder off toolbelt, tool utility and great access to blast and knockbacks.

static discharge is not the only way, and in fact, you give up tons of survivability to take it because inventions and alchemy have excellent traits… the build in my sig can survive about 3 people chasing you across the map and is your best bet against power thieves

Is the tooltip on protection injection wrong in game? It shows 20 seconds for me.
