Guild Wars 2

Ive gotten sick of conditions, so i decided to test something and it turned out amazing (in my eyes atleast),ill try write something about why i chose what i did trait and gear wise but im not overly good at explaining things so bare with me please.

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/engineer/?2.0|4.5j.h1m.0.0.0|0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0|1n.7f.1n.7f.1j.7f.1n.7f.1n.7f.1n.a5|2v.0.1i.65.1i.65.1i.65.1i.65.1i.65|u58b.a4.0.k19.a6|54.7|2c.2v.2w.2f.0|e

Anyway i wanted something that had great sustainability as well as enough damage to really put the hurt on anything that came my way and my rune/sigil choice provided very well for that with around 1000 leeching hits that are procing all the time they really added a huge amount of sustained dps as well as giving me that extra tank to make up for the lack of toughness/vitality and a fantastic burst heal when i needed it (10-12k hp when done properly).

another thing i wanted which i feel is very important for every roaming build is sustained damage output which is the reason for my trait selection and sigil/rune choice, now i only have 228 condition damage which isnt very much and most likely something alot of players would overlook but there’s alot of conditions you can stack up when you use your skills right, for example Blunderbuss and Shrapnel grenade, they already hit hard with this build but now your opponent has 7 bleeds and most likely burning on them, this totals up to around 750 extra dps which you can upkeep very easily using Incendiary Ammo, shrapnel grenade and blunderbuss at every opportunity you can which after a bit of practice becomes very easy, all the while leeching is procing all the time adding an extra 1k damage and more health for you.

The skills are 50/50 obviously you need grenade kit but flamethrower and elixir gun can be swapped out to suit your play style they are just what i found most suitable for the build, Elixir gun benefits are obvious, acid bomb works great with all the leeching you have aswell as an extra blast for healing turret or as a gap closer (hitting your change weapon key will cancel the leap and allow you to get back to combat fast i recommend practicing this as doing it before the leap ends gives you alot of extra time) fumigate with poison grenade stacks up heaps of poison when you get a good rotation between them which adds so much extra sustainable damage out put on the right targets (anything bunker), flame thrower is an easy one to, air blast is not only great for screwing up a thieves shadow refuge but also combos great with overcharged shot and supply crate giving you a great cc train, Smoke vent is great to use for stomping but also countering stun train warriors and anything else that deals big damage with few hits.

there are many more combos you can utilize, hopefully you can learn some from the video, aight less of me trying to look smart and more killing stuff

i also missed alot of good fights which is unfortunate because you’d have some great stuff to watch so i hope this is enough to help new players learn the build and experienced players something new to try

P.S im also looking to use something like this in Spvp/Tpvp and after some testing its looking very promising so if i ever get around to actually doing it ill try post some S/Tpvp videos

also feel free to post any changes you would make to this build and don’t hesitate to hit me up in game for a bit of advice or even a friendly duel.

Bomb kit would be a better choice than FT

Bomb kit would be a better choice than FT

i have thought about it but i think the on demand knock back and blind suit this build alot better, what are your reasons for the choice of bombkit over flamethrower?

Mostly the fact that you traited short fuse. The blind is a wash, so you are trading the knock back for confusion.

Or change Rifled Barrels for Fireforged Trigger and get the reduced cool down on 2 kits you have selected.

Just thinking about it.
