Guild Wars 2

I’ve not been playing Engi for long, so forgive me if this is a nub question.

My question is: can Engi reliably stack might outside of bomb kit? While running bombs I have enough might stacks due to the fire fields, but when running grenades instead I only seem to have a few from battle sigil, which makes me think I may be better off with my Melandru set with another sigil. Is there something I’m missing?

This is my current build:

Thanks for any and all replies ^^

Edit: I’m asking mainly for WvW, in PvP I seem to be ok.

What game mode are you playing? There are lots of ways to stack might, but I don’t want to lead you astray with kits/utilities that are fairly useless outside of PvE.

Flamethrower has a long lasting fire field and a blast finisher on a 5 sec. cooldown. It’s not very effective in PvP (I have seen people play it well though, just rarely.)

Have you considered pairing sigil of intelligence and sigil of strength? If you switch kits often, you should get more might stacks from that than you do with sigil of battle. If you switch out protection injection for invigorating speed, you won’t be missing the vigor you gain from sigil of energy.

If you’re in PvE or WvW, there are also foods that give you might.

Bowl of Orrian Truffle and Meat Stew (100% Chance to gain might on dodge , 40% Endurance regeneration)
Plate of Roasted Cactus (100 Ferocity , 33% Chance to cause might on critical)

edit for your edit: WvW, okay. Do you usually roam alone, or in a group? You can blast allied fire fields as well; they don’t have to be your own. If you’re running with an ele especially, you’ll probably have plenty of them to blast!

I normally roam alone as I’m guildless atm, was looking for a little more range than bombs to catch chasers so flamethrower wouldn’t be too useful to me I think.

I hadn’t thought about intelligence with strength: I’ll test that combo in PvP and see what I get (energy sigils are too expensive to swap out on a whim lol :P ). I’m guessing I’d need speedy kits for that, so prob looking at 6/0/2/4/2 or 6/0/0/4/4, I’ll see if I can live without the toughness.

Thanks for the reply! ^^

Edit: I’m also considering corruption with energy to round out my char’s condi damage, would that be a good option? Sorry about the questions ^^

the build you linked has nades in it not bombs
nades with grenadier trait has the longest range in the game, 1500.
tool kits #5 is useful as well but easily dodged

flamethrower is very useful in the juggernaut build.

and what do you mean by “catch chasers”? do you mean to catch runners or to kill chasers?

Yeah, I didn’t link my bomb build as that has no issues stacking might, and it would be pointless asking about stacking might outside of bombs if I’m using bombs to stack might :P The build I linked is the one I’m working on.

I meant catching runners, sorry, words.
