Guild Wars 2

This is for SPVP

I come from a mesmeer main, and we pretty much have shatter or phantasm or tank

What are the top 3 builds people run on engineer?

I heard about HGH.

What is the role of a engineer in a team?

Basically you have HGH, SD, and bunker support.there are better guides on these than anything I can give you and someone will likely help you out. There are also a bunch of variation builds too. Unlike many of the other classes Engineer can run a slew of builds and be effective. There is no one best or anything like that.

Depending on team composition you may be filling a bunch of roles.

Where are some of these guides at? What does SD mean?

SD is static discharge its is a 10 point trait in the tools line that shoots out a small electrical bolt whenever you use a toolbelt skill, it is generally used in combination with toolbelt skills that have little to no cast time while selecting a single target, it is often used with rifles for a more Power build then condition damage. it can make for a large burst of damage as it has no internal cool down.

hope that help you

this might sound stupid, but when I use healing turret, how do i get it to explode. Do I just hit f1? or do I have to hit the healing skill twice, then f1?

for the overcharged function

Search for Koroshi’s healing turret guide on YouTube.

You have to hit the healing skill twice essentially to put the turret down, activate overcharge first thing, then hit F1 to detonate it. If you detonate too soon, the water field won’t be active. It takes some practice.

If your looking for a cookie cutter build go with SD, I do lol. It’s mad burst.

I’ll explain the general build would be 0/30/0/0/30 (last 10 wherever) your focus is on crit damage (#1) and crit chance (#2) the old best in slot was obviously zerker gear but I’m thinking of switching to Assassins (more crit)

You run rifle for the high damage auto attack and the controll (survivability) and rifle turret, just for the fast cool down on f1. The other 2 slots very depending on the situation I like tool kit, also a fast cool on on tool belt skill plus it has a nice block aand pull. The last slot I usually run net turret for controll but recently I switched to rocket boots for some mobility and I like it.

For your heal go with med kit or turret (duh) med kit works nice because of the reduced cool down on your tool belt skills (your main heal)

Hope that helps, I have had a lot of success with it. I also run bunker it’s my second choice. I personally feel HGH is weak atm due to its lack of bleeding
