Q:

Hey guys!

Getting guild wars 2 tomorrow, very excited.

Been looking on youtube, reading wiki, gathering info on the engineer class for hours now, because it looks like a class i’d really enjoy. (Despite all the negativity on these forums. Wow. :S)

Anyway, I’ve made up a little build I plan to use, and was wondering if anyone could provide any tips on how to improve/Tweak it.

http://www.gw2build.com/builds/simulator.php#1.4.6.0.20.0.0.0.0.0.81.82.99.97.102.0.0.0.0.0.0.244.247.0.258.265.267.0.0.0.287.293.0.0.20.30.0.20

I’m going duel pistols for the bleed/condition damage, as I’m not putting any points into explosives, do I didn’t think rifles would be a good choice.
My main questions for the build are:

What are some good traits for pistols in the firearms tree? Not really sure what to get here for pistols, it seems more focused on rifles, which confuses me. Would my build work with rifles?

Good adept trait for the “Tools” Trait line? Currently chose static discharge as it looks useful, and ground targetting turrets dosn’t seem very useful—But is there anything it can be used for?

Any answers to these questions and tips/tweaks would be greatly appreciated! Sorry for the long post.

Awesomeeee xd
thing about guildwars 2 is that the skills are all often swapped through in battle that you have to get to know playing the game as any character, Engineer included. RESPECT, have fun getting to know the different skills and combos, it takes some adjusting, if you play the engineer they are pretty unique and take some time to learn. Turrets are cool especially with combo fields (flame turret>overcharge turret>explode turret=invis) but I don’t recommend traiting for turrets. For pistols, a lot of people seem to enjoy running 30 in firearms and 30 in alchemy that could be a good start for you. GL TO YA (also, check out combos)

I wouldn’t say it’s a bad idea, I’ve traited for them before and especially the thumper turret (a favorite of mine that I often use), is a beast with the turret traits. If you are running in PVE, and interested in doing dungeons a lot, turrets are really useful, mops love them. In PVP, turrets? not as much. I know what you are saying—vit, alchemy, boons, meh—I thought the same way. You may want to see when u get the game eh

very bad build.. you just need to play and see for yourself..

SD + pistols doesnt work get rifle if u want SD

Turrets are simply broken atm you cant use them they`re useless get all those 30 points out of inventions and put them somewhere else

20% burn duration is bad as well get something else
