Guild Wars 2

So yeah… I was running a PVT-geared rifle bomber, mainly relying on concussion bomb and prybar to kill people with confusion damage. Well, now that doesn’t work. Neither does TankCat, my favorite alternative.

I really dislike HGH builds, so what is the current SD build that will probably be best after this patch, all things considered?

Also, if anyone else has any other awesome builds involving bombs or grenades or rifles, share it!

Confusion will still work, it just won’t shred people’s faces off like it did before. Those builds you mentioned are probably still work just fine.

If you’re looking for an SD, this one is fairly cookie-cutter: http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fcEQFAUl0pqdH5STF17IxoHkuzbGMD763vHYLA;ToAg0Cno4ywlgLLXOukcNoYSA

I’m predicting a cooldown to be applied to SD at some point though, so be warned.

Also, get used to dying in 2 seconds during zerg battles.

Hmmm… maybe not then. I might look into trying a grenade kit based build. I would think of rifle+grenade kit… maybe Elixir U and B?

Anybody tried this/ have a build. Yeah its pretty generic, but it might work!

For rifle and grenades, I often use: http://www.gw2db.com/skills/calc/engineer#14|0|2729|2454|253|4052|4065|30|2273|1789|1885|10|1866|0|0|0|0|0|0|30|1470|1033|1785|0|0|0|0|0|0|1|28034|0|21055|21055|49967|49967|49973|25790|48789|0|0|0|0|

HGH-base build, some traits are configurable to your personal preference. Haven’t tried it in WvW, but it’d probably fare just fine.

Wow, thanks for your helpfulness!

I’ve gone back to tankcat. But I’ve also relegated my duties to being a meat shield for other professions, so…

Really huh? Well, for me, if I am going to be a meat shield, I at least want to be able to secure a kill. With only 1/2 the confusion damage than we had before (which wasn’t that much to begin with) not to mention 1/2 retaliation, you really bring nothing to the table but about 2200 Health.

I just can’t seem myself enjoying that at all.
