Guild Wars 2

Team support Scrapper build:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQFASnUUBtbhFpCWXBEqilJjS8ZKgAgeur79Oc76uvD-TJxGAB2XGg8HAwQ7PAwFAAA

-40% more heal effectiveness to allies.
-Great sustain.
-Good damage.
-Healing Turret provides 2 water fields and the turret itself is a blast, this works well with the 40% heal effectiveness to allies as well as Soothing Detonation.
-Adaptive Armor instead of Final Salvo to make up for the lack of toughness, works well with protection and Bulwark Gyro.
-Elixir B for the boons as well as a source of stability for yourself and allies and a condi cleanse.
-Elixir Gun is pretty standard, it offers a condi cleanse for allies and yourself, as well as a AoE field which pulses and has a heal of 1,190 on impact. You also have 2 sources of elixirs which provide 2 stacks of might each.
-Stealth Gyro to stealth downed allies and rez them, great utility to peel allies and to disengage.

How to play:

Stay in team fights/skirmishes, support your team especially the necro (if you have one). Blast your water fields as much as possible for you team with the Healing Turret water field/blast and combo it with Elixir Gun Acid Bomb.

Any questions message me in game @ Mortal Wombat X.

Enjoy.

With vitality at 560, no toughness and no increase from your runes, will they not focus you before your heal is effective? I would consider smoke bomb potentially for anti-gank surviveability over the 120 second reset on the heal skill. I might consider mortar so you can drop another water field and a blind field.

Since you don’t have stab on gyro, and you don’t have stab on doge roll, your only stab source is your elix b…. will be hard to stay close to your team mates if there is moderate CC in the area.

Have you played Scrapper at all? Blocks and evades on a short CD, protection up, Bulwark Gyro and Adaptive Armor make up for the lack of toughness, not to mention traited Elixir S, you have so many utilities to easily survive. You have a stun break and a source of stability as well. Maybe you’re just bad at Scrapper.

Maybe…. If you say you don’t get spiked with no toughness and that much vitality and one source of stability, while being able to stand in the fray and heal your companions then more power to you. As I’ve never played you I’ll refrain from commenting on your skill or the likelihood that you’ve played scrapper. It was a legitimate question though, if standing with team mates in fray how do you deal with all the CC that comes your way?

I think your head is in the right place, but in practice this wouldn’t do well in higher ranks due to the potential of just being bursted or CC’d away from your team, or to death. Only 1 reliable source of stability will be what eats you alive. Block only being from hammer, same with the evades, isn’t going to cut it in any form of actual pressure. Furthermore wholesale condi clear would require you use elixir C and lose out on your B (most likely choice) or Bulwark (situational if there aren’t many DHs or Druids).

The reason the standard meta scrapper has generally done so well, and always had a place in competitive teams this last season, is because it already has some support built in as well as maintaining bruiser status. While you would still need an actual support in the form of a druid/tempest/etc, scrapper was a compliment to it. Stealth rezzing, elixir S rezzing, gyro+manual rez, etc etc etc were all features that were sought after from the class, as well as still being a menace to the enemy team with CC, condi cleansing, team healing, stealth, etc. I’d like to see a competitive support scrapper build emerge, but it’s just not likely going to happen without a major shift in the meta and some trait or skill reworks.

I’m agreeing with your agreeing with me

Bad build compared to real meta build, so pretty much worthless craft. Nice try tho, 2/10.
