Q:
How Powerful Is The Rifle+Elixir Build?
I do not really get the energized armor trait? Why not go for the extra burning damage in combination with more precision and icendiary powder trait?
Except above point I think it’s a very good and decent build. Not being experimental has its benifits.

Rifle has a lot of utility skills and as such relies on kits a lot for its damage, I wouldn’t recommend a rifle/elixir build.
Pistol/elixir works fine though.
Rifle+elixir is awesome for support in WvW.
I use the flamethrower and supply drop as well, 4 CCs and condition removal/buffs for you and anyone near you.
Don’t need to do a ton of damage when my GS warrior buddy is wailing on him while hes CCd :-P
