So…. I was theory crafting about a condition-build for my beloved engineer.
I´m new to condition-builds so advices from people who already played a condi engineer would be nice.
Now my problem is that I want to create a build that makes use of nearly every condition we have. Also I want to stack a considerable amount of might at the same time and need good defense because I really love to go into melee.
And I especially dont want to use HGH. Simply dont like it :<
This is what I came up with:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcIQJAqal0p6ZHxSyF1LJyIFfWnBqQeJqQ+95BA8gQIA;TUAAzUfZ+S8l7LA
The two empty rune slots are supposed to be runes of altruism.
This build has constant bleed, poison, burn, confusion and vulnerability. A high chill- and cripple-uptime and a high amount of blind.
Also most conditions can be reaplied very fast.
My plan was like this: Using bombs for aoe blind, confusion and near constant burn. Also for combo fields.
Spamming grenades for vulnerability, bleed, poison, blind and cripple.
Toolkit for its awesomeness.
Pistols for a second source of burn and poison on single targets. Also for blind.
But as you can see I left a trait free. That´s because I can´t decide yet, what to take. I´m torn between Shrapnel and Forceful Explosives.
Shrapnel is extremely awesome to stack bleeds very fast very high. I´m not sure whether I can go without it without losing some precious bleed stacks.
But because I´m using bombs it would probably be better to use forceful explosives. It´s nice to have a larger radius in aoe situation…. heck it´s nice in any situation.
Of course I could switch Enhanced performance for one of the former and have both, but…. I want might stacks ;<
As sigils I wanted to use either Sigil of Battle + Sigil of Earth or Sigil of Strength + Sigil of Geomancy.
I find Sigil of battle and geomancy both superior to their on-crit counterparts.
So I can either get reliable 6 stacks of might or 3 extra stacks bleed.
Soooo…. any advices? Please?
Long story short: Need advice on a mightstacking and tanky (melee-)condition-build that uses every condition we have. No HGH.
Shrapnel or Forceful Explosives? Sigil of Battle + Earth or Sigil of Geomancy + Strength?
