Guild Wars 2

Heya fellow engis o/

I’ve been running condi engi (p/p) for a while now and it’s great for raids and high fractals, but I’m not enjoying it all that much in the lower level pve content as well as open world that and I’m slightly bored of it now XD. So I’m looking for a decent rifle build for when I’m not busy with high level content (I don’t mind having two sets of gear :P). Besides where else can I tote around my epic looking rifle skins!

When I’m running around on PVE I like to use riffle also.
I run something like this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQFAUlUUhSsYXWw2KQ7FL5F13+9fB44VMiFB4BGAVFA

full zerker gear and all that…
Its good for overall pve, but doenst have the tag power of the juggernaut scrapper FT for zergs…

Still, good to deal with breakbars (OS, RT, Mine) and has great burst with the mine toolbelt, rocket and jump shot/blunderburst.

You can get streamlined kits for swiftness when running around.

ILobo’s build is good but compared with hammer rifle is meh at the moment.
Maybe it’s me that i am addicted with ham

I really wish to see rifle as good as was before

Wahoo!

There is a huge difference between using a rifle as main damage source and just carring a rifle around for it’s utility and damage spikes.

The problem is, the rifle alone isn’t really good for HoT map encounters. Besides that it’s auto attack is pretty weak aswell.

I do not suggest to use it as a main damage source, rather just for skill 2-5 and use the FT for auto attacks instead.

So before I start posting builds, what do you want? Either way I still try to do my best in terms of advice for a build!

In PvE I do just what Xyonon says: I combine utility and CC from Rifle with kits (FT, EG, Nades and Mortar) using FT as my main source of continuous damage and tagging, then bursting with rifle close range big hitters.

My actual build looks more or less like this. I’m still looking for the correct balance, but it is hella fun:

Oh yeah no I wouldn’t run Rifle as my main source of damage! I’m sorry if I was a bit unclear in that regard XD. I love rifle for its utilities (The 2-5 skills as you’ve mentioned) so any build that just includes a rifle would be great!

Thanks for the build suggestion folks. I’ll test them all out!

Then I suggest you simply use the common alchemy/firearms/scrapper(yes) build but with a rifle instead of a hammer – nothing wrong with that if you prefer to use rifle. Camp FT and use rifle 2-5 for dmg boosts and utility. Rifle 4 becomes immediately really strong with juggernaut since you have stabi with FT.

You know the build?
