Please don’t use those builds.

25/20/0/0/25 and 30/5/0/10/25 are both pre-Mod Ammo builds. I don’t know why he’s advertising outdated builds, but they’re really not optimal trait setups since December 10th.

Personally I don’t think 25/20/0/0/25 is bad for bombs. Sure it doesn’t use Mod Ammo, but I wouldn’t call it out dated.

Problem is that Enduring Damage from Tools doesn’t allow you to dodge if you want to keep your precious 10% damage boost. It’s strictly inferior when compared to Modified Ammo. This becomes even more evident on boss fights where you have like 6-7 different conditions stacked on the boss and mechanics you really need to dodge, like Alpha’s ice spikes. Good luck keeping up your +10% Enduring Damage then.

This automatically makes all Modded Ammo builds better than Enduring Damage based ones, so yes, 25/20/0/0/25 and all variants are outdated.

After going through a lot off rune sets on my power engi ive found that noble are the best for max damage, this is the pve build i play and it hits like a truck! http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcAQJAqel0p6ZHxy2F17IyoCdGoHAGfNife8WPIEC-jgCBYfBEbBhoAh8GkEBIzsIasVhFRjVXDT5iIq2erIa1SBAzwK-e and if it isn’t max dps it’s very close!

This perhaps isn’t highest DPS overall, but if you’re looking for spike damage you might try an old-fashioned SD rifle burst spec:

Glassy as all hell though.

Spike damage is not good in PvE.

Meta is 30/30/0/0/10 Grenades/Bombs/Elixir Gun.

Heres build: (at least the way I play it).

Feel free to swap in Runes of Scholar instead of Noble.
Also, can drop HT for Med Kit (if using Noble)

Obviously Berserker gear/trinkets.

Tips:
1) Use Finishers (EG4 -> Fire bomb / HT -> Fire Bomb / Jump Shot -> Fire Bomb)
2) Prestack Might before Battle
3) Swap EG on demand for FT/Throw Elixir S/Toolkit
4) Use Weapon Swap after using Acid Bomb to cancel jump and stay at Melee range.
5) Don’t forget to swap kits every few seconds to proc Sigil of Battle.

My Rotation:
Run up to enemy → G.Barrage → BoB → Fire Bomb → Heal T. Blast → EG4 and cancel →Rifle 5 (hopefully to get Fire Aura) → Rifle 3 → Grenades 2 → 4 → 1
