Add Food&Gear for WvW.

I think the profanity filter ate your link, unless “kitten” is actually supposed to be part of it.

Ahahah that’s really good coincidence.

Kitten hiding in your link!

Funny stuff, I changed the link!

Kitten again errrr

You would probably have to tinyurl it for us to see the real link. It thinks there is offensive language in it.

I like the look of it…I’m going to try it out when I get off work. I’ve always preferred the no kit approach to the Engie (flavor wise), although I plan on taking Cloaking device to deal w/stuns and replacing S potion with U. Just kinda always been partial to the quickness and field generation with toss.

I made a link to the build you posted: http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mzMM9VMoGgMMoGgM0axx0oVRsMRq8kin so people can look at it for reference.

I have not seen a video of this build, however I’ve been running a build sorta similar to this for about 2 weeks now. Mine is a bit more offensive I think.

My Build
http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mzMM9VMoGRMMoGRMGG0x0maosMaq8kin

I like having 409 over Elixir C since I’m usually playing with a small group, plus I think elixir U works very well in conjunction with the rifle.

The idea seems similar:

• Stack might and other boons, I usually have about 8 – 12 stacks of might and 4 other boons up at most times.
• Use a combination of supply crate, jump shot, and blunderbuss for burst.
• Sustained damage and a bit of control.
• As I said mine is more offensive, the OP build seems more defensive. Either way I think it works.
• Judging by the listed stats I’d say almost all power/tough/vit gear and probably around 10% crit and no crit damage. The 10% crit is assuming he has some Knight pieces in there.

Not sure if any of what I posted was what your looking for, more so just making some observations.

If your going for WvW I would very much suggest a stun breaker. Without Elixir S you are left without one in the current load-out. Dropping Elixir B would be a mistake. I personally don’t use Elixir duration, as Is the duration seems long enough, so if you want to use U I’d replace C with U and run 409 over Elixir Duration. Just my two-cents.

Thanks, this was actually exactly what I was looking for!

The build I linked is as defensive as you can get, in sPvP it feels ‘tankish’ and can take a serious beating while putting out enough damage to get the other guy down.

Your puts out 15% more damage (Empowering Adrenaline + Rifle Mod) and uses 409 for Condition as to free up a utility slot for U. I will definitely try your build out in WvW!

Its funny too, because that build actually ends up with more power than mine, however I get a lot more crit and crit damage. (I’m assuming)

My stats currently

• Health 21,577
• Toughness 1,560
• Crit 37% (41% with food and 61% with fury)
• Crit damage 40% (50% with food)
• Power 1919 (2071 with food)

I was doing the math and found that If I went with the 5% power to toughness (also going for elite supplies) I would end up with 1971 power (With food). Its a 100 point drop with is mildly significant, however I get 200 extra toughness. Its all about finding that balance for my build and at times it seems pretty hard to make the stats what I want them to be.

Also, just in case your wondering I do tend to switch up whats in the Elixir U spot. Sometimes I run slick shoes (Surprisingly good for initiating on a Zerg), rocket boots, or even elixir R, depends on the situation. Speaking of rocket boots, it hits pretty hard in an AoE which is great for the rifle burst scenario: Net shot, hip shot, blunderbuss, jump shot, rocket boots = damage. That combo works well against groups too. Not to mention a solid damage ability that burns for a crap load on a 20 second cooldown isn’t anything to scoff at either.

Indeed, rocket boots burn is huge and should not be underestimated, lining up burn with rifle burst even in a tankish build puts a world of hurt.

The stats I linked are without armor or food.
