Guild Wars 2

Hi all Im an engi trying to fill a group roll of some type without completely following a meta build. I use them as templates to build my own in most games I play then tweak it. Im trying out CELESTIAL RIFLE BUILD but instead of using nades I use elixir gun. So my setup is roughly -tool kit-elixir gun-slick shoes. So for toolbelt I have 2 stunbreaks 2regens and group cc using heal turret as my personal Condi clear. Im still maximizing and playing with traits but im currently 60044. I want to utilize this build and so far the damage has been decent but my survival is higher then a kite!. My question is can any engi build work on a 2 kit build without nades or bombs?

nades or bombs is where the damage in the build comes from. without either of those, its gonna be hard or impossible to put out enough pressure to kill anyone.

secondly, with neither of those kits… dont take 6 explosives. 4 at most for IP.

group role in one sort of activity PvP? Fractal? Dungeon? It sort of matters. I am definitely not playing the most optimal build, but I have the most fun with bombs, EG, and might potion, with 6/6/0/0/2 for all formats. I do find even without bombs my rifle can do quite a bit of damage and the CC is great for PvP

TK, EG, Slick Shoes is fine if you’re using it with P/S as a condi PvP/WvW build. Essentially a variant of VeeWee’s 1spam build. Last time I tried it the spread I used was 4/2/0/4/4 for WvW.

If you insist of using elixir gun as your main dps source then a rabid amulet will get you further.
