Non-Grenade/Bomb Build?(Open PvE & Fractals)

I’m coming back to Gw2 after over a year and not sure what to do. All I know is that I really dislike bomb and grenade kits. Any suggestions? Most the gear I already have is power oriented.

Thanks.

For open PvE you want good mobility and burst.

Riffle with rocket boots, mine, tool kit is a good option if you dont like the bomb kit.
explosives, firearms and tools.
Use rifle jump, rocket boots and toolkit (for traited swiftness) to move around fast.
deploy mines, pull with magnet, rifle burst (blunderburst+jump shot) and things are dead…

If you have scrapper you can run a quickness elixir build (alchemy+firearms+scrapper)

For most pve and low lvl fractals this is all fine…
If you want to do higher fractals you might need to adapt to the bomb/nades play or find a group that is willing to let you not be optimal.

Thank you. I’ll take this all into consideration. I’ve done something similar to that scrapper build before, so I’ll give your rifle recommendations a try.
