My Power-based General PvE build
No feedback so far?
Now I’m all disappointed. :[
It is a very usable build. Personally I find the bomb kit to have much more value over the tool kit in PvE. It does more damage, In PvE I find the tool kit block to have limited value, the pull can be handy on a few occasions, but not enough to justify taking it over the bomb kit in most cases.
The oddest thing to me, is that you specifically mention PvE, but you linked a PvP build.

This actually is the build I use for PvE. I value a lot of mobility, and the Acid Bomb with all of the snare/cripple effects that this build have make it easy to kite and be mobile in fights. I often switch the tool kit for Bombs in dungeons, but I try to leave it on the tool kit until I need the extra damage.
its pretty close to my favorite SD Build I use frequently (i switch between TK and EG), but yours lacks in synergy if you ask me.
- you choose Static Discarge, but you only get the full (reliable) effect with one Toolbelt skill, throw wench. Thats not enough to justify a trait imho.
- same with elixier CD, a trait for one elixier? the trait doesn’t decrease Toolbelt CD or the elixierguns super elixier or elixier F, or did they fix that?
i think your build works, but could use a little bit finetuning…

What would you recommend changing?

Depends on your personal playstyle
I would go…
- either towards elixirs but I would slot at least 2 elixirs (maybe S or C depending on situation) and get rid of SD because its not really reliable with ground targeting skills (something like this with HGH or 409)
- or towards SD burst (you can look at my build, if you choose adrenal implant (Tools XII) you didn’t really need IS, protection injection fits perfectly and adds some survivability or you keep IS and trait toolkit. Have you tried gadgets? PBR, Rocketboots and Slickshoes without kits its fun too once you get used to it. Feel free to add a kit or two.
But nevertheless its nice to see another rifle build and not another jump on the Grenade/Bombkit bandwagon.
