And before someone says Healing Turret, Supply Crate, or Elixir S- I will online frown at you. I didn’t pick those because I wanted to have FUN. So with the idea of pure ~FUN~ here-

I feel like I missed something there. I love my double Gyro team backup for when I need to engage a teamfight, I love my Elixir Guns power (try it power, you’ll be heartbroken when you realize its better that way), Grenades are a fun ledge shooter, and Mortar is just my field spam. I can’t think of anything to fix here, but I feel like I’m missing something? The idea is just deceptive damage- before someone knows whats happening, you spike em or disable em. I don’t really care for flashy effects… Any help is appreciated.

Surprisingly no problem on condis… I was shocked. They’re easier than power.

firearms seems like dead weight
why take grenades + explosives and not the nade trait
one stunbreak on a 35 sec cd with no stealth is kinda risky

Team Deathmatch for PvP – Raise the AoE cap for WvW – More unique events for PvE

I wanted the 12% damage and quick vuln boost from range. Is there a traitable stunbreak?

And I bet you will have problems on condi if a necro or a condi engi/rev fights you. Nec is killing your gyro with AE. He not even notice that you have this kind of condi removal.

DH will make 7k+ damage with true shot on you, and you have no block/stealth.

This is nice as a fun build (maybe) but you will lose all 1on1s I guess. You have no defense.

Why is it assumed I will have trouble on condi? I just 1v1’d (though build isn’t designed as such) several condis…

Edit: Lightfield+whirl=condi clear. You get 2 from Hammer 2. 3 on your F1 is heal, plus gyro clear. And no fight lasts too long. Again, my problem is power.

Lightfield+whirl=condi clear.

This clean only condis on people hit by the bolts not on the person who whirl or am I wrong?

It cleans conditions in a small aoe centered on the enemy which got hit by the bolt. So as long as you stand close to an enemy while whirling in a light field, you will get condi clean.

I was trying to get help with power builds though :C. Oh and is there a better line than firearms? I’m using it for the swiftness and the extra damage and the fury (the traits I picked).

I’ve found using blinds and weakness does wonders against power builds. Also, don’t forget about retaliation. Blasting in a light field gets you AoE retaliation, and leaping through one gives light aura, which gives you retaliation and applies vulnerability to them when struck. Hammer 4 is also a 2s block.

I would grab Alchemy instead of firearms it will increase your defenses and give you HGH which will be useful if you are on Elixir gun a lot anyway. Then you could theoretically replace one of your Gyros with an elixir depending on the matchup. Since you have 3 kits it’s a pretty good case for backpack regenerator too or just use the meta alchemy line with self-regulating defenses.

How would the new build look? I’m still learning fields+finishers, but I did find out that F1+Hammer3= around 6k hp. Was nice Killed my protection, but it was nice.

Gw2 Skills actually has a really nice guide under the combo section.
