hi guys!

Right so after a week of running and tweaking this build and trying a lot of variations, i settled on a somewhat boring to theorycraft(fun to play though) but very effective Scrapper variation on the Marauder Rifle engi.

This build is designed for farpoint pressure or close point reinforcement.

It is exceptionally good at dueling, has amazing resilience to conditions and has exceptional ranged defence.

Build : http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQFASnUUBVXhlYBGpCEqil3iiO3/9hX8iaik4boiwAA-TJxHABXXGYgLAAAPAAR2fAA

Swap out Bulwark for Blast gyro if they don’t have a lot of projectile users or have heavy lockups. ANother alternative is Elixir gun for more use of HGH and some more support potential.

The stealth Gyro elite is optional though, I prefer moa for lich/rampage/DS cancels.

It is worth noting that out of combat swiftness is not close to full uptime, but Elixir B does give you quite a bit.

Give it a try and let me know what you think! :P

How do you feel about having no stunbreak? I haven’t tried bulwark in pvp but i want to, it seems like it would be sweet but i don’t think i could take that + a stunbreak so it’s one or the other

Normally I would have said that HELL no to running without stunbreak.

However the fact that bulwark itself AND the defence field utility can be cast when stunned it actually isn’t bad.

Also you still have Elixir S in traits for the times you REALLY get pressured when stunned.

I do however think that if they have a CC heavy comp blast gyro is your better bet than Bulwark.

I’ve tried blast, i want to love it but any sort of elevation difference makes it potato (aside from the toolbelt).

The defense field of the bulwark gyro, what does it actually do.

Does it reflect all ranged moves?
What happens if an enemy is inside the bubble?

Any attack that counts as a projectile(no not the finisher kind only, ALL projectiles, strangely they are not that well documented in game). If they are inside the dome, they still get reflected.

May I ask why you chose elixir gun?
You also lose out on A LOT of damage with no firearms or explosives.
