Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,

I would love to hear suggestions as to what build might be viable to me. Right now it’s still a bit used for ‘leveling’ and such and not full on PvE focus (which is my main preference).

I love my pistol+shield combo, maybe swap out shield for pistol, but doubtful, I like the defensive capabilities it brings. I like being a little tankier, I hate being squishy in dungeons that I die within the blink of an eye.

Also I like using turrets, right now it’s Rocket&Rifle. My traits are also thrown into the turret line, 30 in total, 30 into Firearms for more use for my pistol and the remaining 10 in explosions, no idea where else to put them really.

I feel that, when I setup my turrets (those 2, but sometimes I also get a net or flame turret out) that I am not really doing enough. I ress people and everything, but my damage isn’t that great (I think) and neither do I heal a whole lot or anything. (Is healing still crap?).

What gear is also suggested? Right now I use +Tough, condition and power. If anything is unclear then I will clear things up.

So you want to be a PvE focussed tanky engineer that uses turrets.
Have you tried / liked the Tool Kit?

I have to admit I haven’t really tried it a whole lot. I’d reckon if I use that I can throw out the self healing turret trait I have right now. How’s the healing on it? Do I really have to wack away at my turrets? And does it even have much use to do so?

The healing is not that great but you can heal all you’re turrets ad the same time while hitting a enemy (so yeah wack them turrets! :P). So you keep you’re turrets healthy while dealing damage to the enemy. Of side is that it’s melee.

The use of the healing might not always be the best but the Tool Kit makes it abit more fun causse you will have more options skill and utility wise.

Hm, I thought I’d had to wack a turret! But if I heal by damaging then that is nice! I should try it out to see if I like it. Thing is, I like my pistols, but it does get a bit dull sometimes, but I haven’t come across a kit that I really like. Grenades is out of the option because it is overused (I’m just like that;p), don’t really like bomb kit either, same with elixer gun. Flamethrower was good fun, but don’t think it synergizes well and to my knowledge it still glitches sometimes (missing everything).

Oh about the Turret healing you indeed HAVE to hit you’re turrets with it. But generally you can position them in a way where you can do just that and hit the enemy ad the same time.

Ahh okay, I now put them pretty far away to avoid damage;)

How about this?

Hehe. thats pretty much what i’ve been using thus far! I picked some other traits here and there but I too have 10/0/30/30/0! Awesome
