Okay, I’ve never, ever made a build be for and put it up so others can read. This build will not be the best work, but I’ve been having a lot of fun in pvp with it, and been doing very good too. My only problem’s is necros.

The Build -

Traits – 30-10-30-0-0
Explosives – III / IX / XII
Firearms – IV
Inventions – VI / VII / XII

Weapons – Pistol/shield
last 5 things in order
6 – Med Kit
7 – Tool Kit (number 3 skill I like, and 4 is three second block)
8 – Rocket Turret
9 – Elixir S (funny to do when finishing and getting out of hotspots)
0 – Supply Crate (I drop on my target)

Armor is all Divinity and Amulet is Rabid

I think that is all you need to copy this build.

If anyone knows of a way to make it better (or more fun) post in here and I will try. If this build is kitten, I must be very skilled to pull of the easy kills I have done. Easy meaning me vs 1-2 others, although at 3 I get killed. The only class I can’t kill at all is necros, no idea why.

Ok. Why do you put in 30 points in inventions? Why? You only use 1 turret. 20 points ‘d be enough.
Auto-defense bomb dispenser is a really nice trait but it’s huge CD makes it near worthless. Don’t use it! Second, turret push back isn’t worth 10 points either. You should focus on condi damage since you’re going p/s!

I modified your build. I replaced rocket turret for thumper turret. It’s the best turret we have and it’s even a nice option when not traited for.

Toolkit is a solid option. But consider replacing it since the damage of confusion is cut in half in PvP.

Now the traits: I took 20 points out of explosions. And 10 out of inventions (with thumper turret, traiting is not nessecary).
That gives us 30 to spend on extra utility -> 10p in firearms for reduced pistol cd, 10p in alchemy for extra health and invigorating speed in combination with 10p in tools and speedy kits.
Here is my version!

Auto defense bomb saved my kitten more then I can count. People are underestimating that ability. It just mitigate so much damage, I love it.

I use it on my confusion build.

In PvP aswell? You’ll get smacked around alot in pvp in 60 seconds. So you’ll get saved 1 time in pvp just to get killed 10 seconds later? In WvW I completely agree with you! But in PvP…

Auto defense bomb effect is decent but problem is its cd is waaaaay to high for a grandmaster trait. At 60 seconds I would take it, if it was an adept trait.

Well on my bunker build, Most fight are 60 sec anyway.

I would agree that it could receive a lower cooldown for a GM, but it still a viable trait.

My confusion build is a WvW build, and is awesome when I try to AoE group of people and I get CC’d. Miss miss miss.

Exactly what penguin’s saying. It really is a nice trait, but it’s CD just spoils it for me. reducing it to 30 seconds or 45 would make it much better!
