Hey Brother…er…..Hey guys
Before 1 unfortunate nerf I fell in love with my scrapper. I was able to 2v1 no problem, 3v1 was very doable and any defensive/bunker builds were my food. But alas…1 swift nerf brought my whole build down and it never worked the same and my relationship with my scrapper ended in a bitter divorce.
We tried to make it work but nothing brought that spark back (core engi was another story, but I wanted my scrapper back). I have been desperately trying to get a build that was well rounded vs many builds and hurt a lot. This is what I came up with (not yet tested)
Ive been going back and forth between Tools and Alchemy (on paper) and can’t decide what is better. Ive seen a friendly hammer scrapper easily take a 2v1 and a 3v1 in wvw and I knew that my love for the hammer could be re-ignited.
Please tell me what you think. I will be happy to explain reasons for taking what I did. Maybe give me suggestions (traits/utilities/rune…etc) that may better the build yet keep the core.
Danke
Personally, I think in the current condi heavy environment alchemy+traveler beats having inventions. I would also pick elixir c rather than u, if you are able to fight 1v3 your opposition are fools. Even a single player can kite a hammer scrapper (especially if you dont pack elixir gun).
I also question blast gyro, due to its incredibly erratic behaviour.
