Guild Wars 2

So, like most of you guys out there I’ve tried a ton of builds. This is one I’ve come up with and settled on now for a while.

Amulet: Soldier’s with Berserker Jewel
Sigil: Sigil of Battle
Runes: Superior Rune of Lyssa

Basic concept behind this build
So we kit swap, a lot. This build aims to get the most out of doing this. With the med kit you should be sitting around 6-9 stacks of might and peaking around 12, swiftness, as well as one extra random boon from Lyssa Set bonus. So one button = 6-9 stacks of might, swiftness, and one random boon, not bad.

Before you go “wtf Elixir X” hear me out- I don’t actually use Elixir X. With the Lyssa Set bonus#6 you can charge the skill then interrupt it. This will give you all boons (omg reliable stability <3) every 50sec. If you still want to use the Supply crate, the #6 Lyssa set bonus does not work with it (yet another bug). If you want you could swap out the last rune for another stat+.

The main down fall to this build is no stun breaker, but it is moderately stable letting you weather out most stuns and recover. It has a good amount of condition removal with x2 Super Elixirs as well as x2 100% projectile tool belt skills that can be fired through the field to remove more.

I’ve used it in both pug pvp & tpvp and had good success in both situations. It’s solid enough to tank two bunker guardians probably indefinitely but brings enough damage to the table with stats/abilities/boons to drop people respectably.

I use a similiar build for PvE. Only difference is that I use 2x rune of altruism for 3 stacks might every 10 seconds for you and some bystanding mates, 2x rune of hoelbrak and 2x rune of pirate for might duration.
I like investing points into elixiers for some survivability and even more boon duration.
That´d be 20/20/0/20/10 or 20/20/0/10/20… can´t decide yet :P
Currently I´m experimenting with Juggernaut. After all I got tons of might duration so it´s no problem to maintain 8 stacks might from juggernaut alone…. well, at least in theory :P
My engineer hit lvl 80 only a few days ago, so I get easily confused with my CDs und kits and thus I end up either staying too long in FT-kit so I dont get my might from a fast med-kit swap or not long enough so my might stacks fade away… xP

Personaly, I think the versatility…. cough… Sry, I know it´s a forbidden word in this part of the forum but I couldnt come up with a different word :P … is quite amazing. I prefer to use it as a bursty-damage-thingy build, while you seem to use it with a tanky build.

It´s especially nice since I can´t seem to get into HGH and still stack might quite easily… Don´t know why, but I dont like HGH x) Maybe because I dont like most elixiers…. well, that´s what people call personal preference, isn´t it? shrug

Yeah, it’s a little easier to get around ~2.5k armor & ~20k hp in pve and have a respectable crit rate/damage. Pvp I’ve found it a little more difficult to customize and this build allows me to get the closest to it.
