Guild Wars 2

Fellow engineers,

I’ve “altered” around the last months with my Guardian and Mesmer and though these seem “OP” in comparison to my little Asuran Engineer, I simply can’t resist to get back to my engineer, since it has been the most appealing class to me since start.

I now tried to find a build, which I could use in PVE and (actually most time for me) WvW, without beeing steamrolled and getting some loot-bags… ;-) I came up with this one:

GW2Skills

It’s a 30/0/0/20/20 build with grenades and toolkit. For gear I thought of a mix of rampager and knight. I want to be able to survive a few hits (at least until I get re-used to the class enough) and be able to deal enough damage to have fun in WvW.

Since I’m not really good in “building” I would appreciate any comments/suggestions for my idea.

Thanks a lot!

I think anyone and everyone Knows Sab in TC. (not bragging) I have a unique playing style.
I run an engineer and find there is a dramatic build difference between PVe, PvP and WvW. (Note to Anet: Engineer class is the weakest class, but really fun to play. show us some love?)
I spend most my time in WvW, so this is what i do;
In WvW when running in a Zurg, you are looking for High Dps AOE. (Tons of loot bags) is what your after. 30/30/0/10/0. AOE is the key!
I run full Knights gear. all Jewelry and slots is focused on power and toughness. this will give you some help in surviving but not a lot. I only grenade while assaulting/ defending a keep or tower. except large grenade attack…see below)
Attack combos when hitting a zurg goes as followed.
Drop supply crate on top of zurg (this does a lot of damage/ stuns opponents and gives you heals when you run into it)
Big F2 or3 grenade attack( Added damage and extra grenades and wider explosion area with build)
Have flamethrower as weapon of choice. (build creates juggernaut +10 might while using flamethrower)
This build does a lot of damage quickly and hits a lot of people.
NOW, I am not suggesting you use this build for individual PvP. Although with skill you can manage. But it is more difficult and there are better builds available.
