Guild Wars 2

I am currently almost finished with building Quip, so I am looking for a build that can display the weapon as much as possible. I looked around and found a Static Discharge build, but was wondering if that is still decent in PVE, and if there are any other builds out there. And no, I will not do P/P.

Hey, congrats on quip! Looks like you are in the same predicament as I was. I wanted to display my jetpack as much as possible (no kits). The build i’m running with in WvW right now uses P/S and all turrets. It has decent condition damage, around 2k toughness, good uptime on protection, and lots of control (overcharging turrets). I made this build specifically to counter thieves, but it works good on almost everybody i come across. The only class you will have trouble with using this build is mesmers, as the turrets will target the clones. Here’s what the traits/gear look like:

10 explosives – incendiary powder
30 firearms – hair trigger, rifled barrels, coated bullets
30 inventions – protective shield, reinforced shield, metal plating

Heal/utilities: Healing turret, net turret, thumper turret, rocket turret
Elite: supply crate

Helmet: Rabid (precision/toughness/cond damage)
Shoulders: Carrion (power/vitality/cond damage)
Coat: Rabid
Gloves: Carrion
Boots: Rabid

Weapons: Giver’s pearl handcannon (Condition duration), Giver’s pearl shell

Trinkets: Ascended rabid (or exotic rabid if you can’t get ascended yet)

Runes: 6x runes of the earth

Food (optional): Veggie pizzas/rare veggie pizzas
