Guild Wars 2

I have a level 12 engineer right now and going forward I’m just curious what builds work so far. Thanks.

Pretty much any build that only involves 1 or 2 sets of skills/kit.

Anything. Everything (& shouldn’t this be in the Engineer forum? ). I started out with turrets a lot; now I hardly use them, preferring the bomb / grenade kit. A guildmate swears by the elixir gun. I never equip anything other than pistols, but I’ve seen other comments here that tell me rifle or pistol / shield are great builds. One person expressed astonishment that I don’t slot a stun-break (but I don’t).

Anet have acknowledged that our class is, technically, broken apparently. Nevertheless, despite others complaining that it is weak, or samey, or unplayable, I’m not having any trouble with it. Experiment. There are so many possible variations on any class that no-one can say “This is the only build that works”.

This thred’ll probably get moved, but here’s a great tip:

Make use of the first ten points of tools to grab the 5s of swiftness when you put on a kit. Then no matter which kit you focus on (flamethower, nades, bombs, or e-gun) you’ll always be able to keep swiftness up by switching back and forth between kit and no kit. This lets you move around the world much faster, at all times, without forcing you to take elixir b get lucky on elixir h.

Flamethrower _ Bombs works well, just make sure you have a decent amount of toughness to combat flamethrowers excessive miss rate when you are moving around.

Broken in the OP or UP way?

UP. I believe most of our kits are supposed not to scale properly past L30. On the other hand, I’m approaching L70 and yesterday, at L61, I was cheerfully killing multiple L68-69 mobs. So who’s UP and who’s useless then?

I personally roll with duel pistols ,turrets and usually supply crate for my Elite .However before locking yourself in i would suggest playing around with different skills and seee what you like best .

Up. There are a few things with the class that arent working as intended. Although its nowhere near as bad as poor minion master necros. That entire spec is broken.
