Guild Wars 2

Hi I recently started playing Scrapper and really like the playstyle in pvp. My previous classes are DH, Warrior and Rev.

Currently im using the meta Marauder Hammer build and ive been doing ok with it.

I mainly solo or duoQ so my question is for solo/duo is Cele or Marauder better since i cannot know in advance what my team comp is. I dont really like changing builds constantly so which would be the best for a newer player in this mode?

Thanks

Never heard of Cele hammer being a thing….I know cele rifle used to be a thing. I just got my engi to 80 thought so it could be and I just don’t know about it.

Site is having some difficulties right now

for me marauder is stronger. Hammer and snake gyro gives you good survivability and the damage of marauder is better .

Mara hammer. Gives you more flexibility to adjust to a tankier build or more dps. Cele is good in full premades, as utility bunker or mid support. If you soloQ, can’t go wrong with some flavor of marauder scrap.

I like em both, although neither of my builds are meta.

I’d play cele over marauder most of the time tho.

that’s the cele build I’ve been running since beta. you can try HT, H and the gyro. they all work well. I ran H for a long time for the boons, but I’ve been running the gyro. rocket charge and the toolbelt give a huge heal, and the gyro itself can’t be interrupted and has a solid heal too. sure HT has water fields too, but the f1 water field doesn’t last long enough so its just one super heal, as you have to use the turrets field w rocket charge. the gyro let’s you split up the heals for more sustain. I’d take gyro or H personally.

that’s the marauder build I roll. stacking vun go 25 is sooo easy. damage is nuts. you can survive with your blocks.

if u want to have fun you can take marauder hammer build and use a berserker amulet . You will have good survivability ( less than marauder ) and you will hit like a truck. I use it quite often when there are no necro or at max 1 necro in enemys’ party

cele is ok or even so-so nowadays, when cele’s condi damage can play against you.
- it would be harder to pressure ele
- it would be harder to pressure reve
- it would mean more condi to be transfered to you by necro

but if you bunk – like your team plays close-far 3-2, – it shows some more sustainability, so you can hold the point better without leaving it. thou mara can hold it also pretty well.

thanks guys

Marauder is definitely better off when you lack a friend. Probably better as a whole really.
