Guild Wars 2

Hello!
I am a new GW2 player.

I’m trying to find which Proff I fits me best. I’ve so far gotten Mes and Guard up to the 30s.

I started playing Eng and like it.

My question is: If I don’t like the gernade and bomb kits should I not play Engineer? I prefer the regular mechanic of switching weps.

Is an Alchemist Rifle or P/P engineer viable? Other threads have said all our dmg is from Nades/Kits.

Thank you!

Welcome to the engineer! I think its the most fun class I’ve played and i’ve stuck with it from back during the beta weekends. Anyway… you do not need to use grenade / bomb kits. There are several different builds that work great at what they do. Maks p/p build, Naks / Phins burninator builds, GateAssassin for grenades. Static Discharge builds are fun…and there are a few turret builds out there that are pretty good too. Use the search function and look for kits / weps that you find interesting. Most importantly…find something you think is fun / looks cool…then make it work for you.

It would be nice if there was a sticky thread that someone would maintain with updated builds that gets fixed every patch, maybe I can help contribute some

The problem with such threads is there are so many variations you can do, the best idea I think is a build theme, ie: x y and z traits are the key of the build, the rest you should focus for are a b c or d of your choosing
