Guild Wars 2

Hello Engineers,

I’ve decided that my next 80 will be an Engineer. I’m just getting my feet wet, currently mid 20’s but may craft up 10 levels for a few more traits. I’m interested in leveling mainly in WvW but I’m looking for some suggestions. As with every class, up leveled toons in wvw have poor damage. I’d like to focus on some type of support with non damaging conditions or booms to help zergs or small groups.

Any suggestions on a good setup to accomplish this? I want Speedy Kits but after that I’m open. I’m looking to really learn the class and the art of flipping around kits.

Appreciated,

If support is your plan… Perhaps look into running Healing Turret/Grenade Kit, working towards Elixir Gun Kit and… Elixir R maybe? Along with Pistol/Shield as your weapon set.

Grenades will give you decent condition spread, including a solid AoE blind and Chill. Elixir Gun and Healing Turret help with team support; providing AoE healing, light/water combo fields, and solid AoE condition removal for your team. Static Shot (pistol 3) is a great multi-target blind, while Shield gives you some survivability, along with a ranged daze that can hit multiple targets if lined up well.

As for traits… Probably go with Explosives to start with, which increases condition duration as well as letting you trait for increased grenade explosion radius (‘Forceful Explosions’), reduced CD on grenade skills (‘Short Fuse’), and throwing an extra grenade with each skill (‘Grenadier’).

I’d look into more defensive traits after that, personally. Alchemy has some nice synergy with kits (regeneration while a kit is equipped, swiftness grants vigor) and gives access to HGH (elixirs grant might stacks) at 30 points if you decide to go that route, but play around with different setups as you level and see what you like.

-Hope that helps.

Appreciated. Got Elixir Gun last night n gonna grab Healing Turret shortly. Gonna give it a shot.

Maybe its obvious already, but healing turret can be overcharged right after placing it and immediately restored for 2 heals + water blast. shield and elixir gun give another 2 blasts, so you canblast the turret water field 3 times with some practice.

Thank you, still learning all the little tricks. So much to play with but I’ll give this a shot. Healing turret felt a bit underwhelming but this may change things.

TY

Protip: you can overcharge the healing turret, not detonate it for the blast finisher and pick it up again. This heals for a bit elss but your cooldown goes from 20 to 15 seconds.

get the kitten out rallybringer.
