Guild Wars 2

Hello my fellow Engineers. Im a Noob when it comes to PvP and even WvW and i was just wondering if the Flamethrower is viable in pvp and if so any good builds on it. Also was wondering any other Top builds when i google it i feel like im getting a run around to the top builds as of now.

Flamethrower is an utility weapon…put that down and grab a different kit or P/P P/S or Rifle if you want to kill stuff efficiently.

direct dmg is not viable in pvp on engi atm – especially not when we`re talking about FT

go condi or just play something else

Using flamethrower autoattack in pvp means asking enemies to kill you via retaliation.
Either use that for Air Blast or don’t use it at all.

play at least 300 hours in pve with engineer then come back.

Seriously, Engineer is actually one of the hardest professions to play in the game. It takes awhile before you are able to start playing

There are several good engi players that stream spvp and wvw regularly, I would look at their builds and game play to help find combos and how to fulfill your role.

In spvp, most engineers I see lately are running condition builds with grenades and another kit, something like this:

You can do p/p instead of p/s, move traits around a little, and use different kits if you want.

I also still see some hgh grenades, which looks like this:

There are also some bunker builds, but I’m not too familiar with them, maybe someone else can link some.

Hope this helps

Appericate all the input and thank you Vapula i will try and watch streams and pick it up where i can.
