Guild Wars 2

This is not meant to be “The Build”. I’m just thinking outside of the box, trying to make something good of the new Elite. I just can’t give up Condi in HoT.

The set up I’ve been playing with is a fairly standard Pistol/Pistol Dire set up. But I’ve incorporated several Gyro’s with some interesting results.

The skill editor is still behind the times, because the actual Burn damage is as follows:

Incendiary Powder: 7 sec 5,002
Rocket Kick: 8 3/4 sec for 10,004
Blow Torch: 13 sec 15,006

I’m using Mortar to leverage the 6th proc on the Krait Runes, which stacks Bleed, Torment and Poison when switching to Elite Skill. With no cool down on the Mortar, this is not a bad way to introduce some nuisance Condi. Sometimes I switch to Sneak Gyro if the situation calls for it.

The Rocket Boots acts as a blast finisher will proc will proc Rapid Regeneration (and other Finishers if Lighting Field is not down), etc. Healing is not a bad thing to have if you find yourself needing to Leap away.

Gyro’s just seem to provide a good deal of support, and they are pretty fun to play around with.

Edit: Bleed has 98% Duration and Burn 73%. It’s easy to get 8 to 9 stacks of bleed with Pistol One Skill alone. This puts Bleed damage at 1,200 per tick.

Forget the above post. The build is cr*p. Scrap is cr*p.

Just trying to justify my fifty dollars, and waiting 3 years for an expansion…..

I made a P/P Condi scrapper build that actually works quite well. It uses both sneak gyro and med gyro as central elements of the build. I included a short video pwning some nubs with it. Check out the post here.
I’ve been spamming this, so apologies to anyone who doesn’t like it. The build works well, though, and I’ve heard a few people having trouble with Condi scrappers.

Great video. Except, I think the Passacaglia and Fuge in C minor would have been more fitting…..

You saw the same potential that I saw. Namely, that it’s great in one-on-one, but not so much in high level PvE mobs. I was less than effective in large events. I could survive, but was not thriving.

I might try mine in WvW solo roaming.

I think that P/P is still superior to Scrapper, but the Gyros are not the best choice in lieu of Kits. And the other Trait lines are better.

To bad that the Gyros are not just “Kits” instead of being tied to the Scrapper Trait line.
